Hi all,

I wrote in last week so upset that the dr. saw a slight bright spot on the lower bowel on my ultrasound. This is after the tech. told us everything looked perfect and my husband left! Anyway, went in again yesterday to the same perinatal center. I saw a different techinician and dr. (the head of the center this time) and they didn't see a thing wrong. I am really confused. He said he doesn't see the need for me to have anymore ultrasounds since I am only two and 1/2 weeks to delivery. The dr. last week wanted me to have weekly ones. We opted not to do an amnio this pregnancy because we wouldn't do anything any different. We have had these level II ultrasounds every couple weeks though and last week (36 weeks) was the first sign of a problem. Apparently it is not there anymore. Does anyone have similar experience with things changing but still meaning CF? Of course I'm clinging to the hope that this is a good sign, but who knows? I know ultrasounds are not fool proof, but in my first pregnancy they didn't get enough sample for the amnio and I just didn't want to go through that again. My daughter also showed the bright bowel at 20 weeks on. I was just curious what others experiences were.

Thanks,
Zoe mom to Kate wCF and new one on the way soon!

I had bright bowel show with both of my sons. They both have cf. Other causes for bright bowel are uterine bleeding. Even a small amount. Gets swallowed shows in ultrasound. Some infections cause it also placental insufficency. Downs is a 3% and cf is a 4%. Sometimes it has nothing to do with childs health.

Did your children's bowels stay bright the whole time, or look bright one week and normal the next? I can't find any information on this and I am getting very confused....

Thanks!

Both showed in multiple ultrasounds. With youngest it showed for longer Thru third trimester. Not showing in last few weeks. With oldest only till 3rd trimester. There is alot of info on health sites. Google it you'll find something. It could be something simple.

Also it helps to know what settings the machine was on. If they had it at diffrent settings it makes things look different.
