We have sent "worried mom" to the Pregnancy and Birth forum but he would like you folks to have a go at this and if you would like to answer her on that forum Terry says "go for it"!

As he is OOT for a few days and he thinks this is a good question for you folks to discuss. He will join you when he returns to town.

Subject: calcium deposit in baby's liver - 27wk pg I am 27 weeks pregnant and a routine ultrasound scan at 19 weeks, found a 5mm calcification in the large lobe of my babys liver. Now another scan shows that the calcification has grown with the baby. The info on this subject is limited and the perinatologist at BC Womens hospital is unsure what the outcome will be when the calcium deposit is limited to the liver. Can anyone shed some light on this subject for a worried mother?

Thanks everyone, Barbara

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit.
