A 36-year-old pregnant woman at 24 weeks gestation, with a normal non-invasive prenatal genetic testing result at 18 weeks, but a cardiac ultrasound at 22 weeks showing punctate hyperechoic foci in the left and right ventricles. Inquire about the possibility of chromosomal abnormalities and whether amniocentesis is necessary.
Down Syndrome screening primarily targets children with congenital mental retardation, and if the test results show a risk exceeding the predetermined standard, further amniocentesis may be required to obtain more accurate results.
Generally, there’s no need to worry if the fluid-filled dark area in the lateral ventricles does not exceed 1.0cm according to the fetus’s condition. It is recommended to have regular check-ups and continuously observe the fetus’s development. If the fluid-filled dark area continues to expand, consideration may be given to terminating the pregnancy.

Typically, the fetus starts to enter the pelvis around week 38, after which discomfort may increase. It is advised to rest more and monitor the situation.
