Being referred for a fetal echo is a common step during pregnancy. It does not mean something is wrong — it means your care team wants a clearer picture.
A fetal echocardiogram is a specialised ultrasound of your baby's heart, performed and interpreted by a fetal cardiologist — a specialist trained specifically in evaluating the heart before birth.
