General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello.
Thank you for contacting HCM.

I have seen many pregnant ladies with similar ultrasound findings at this stage of pregnancy. It may be variant of normal findings and nothing to be concerned about.
I would suggest a followup ultrasound in late pregnancy and after delivery( ultrasound of the baby).

In case it persists after delivery.....even then it is treatable and for that you will have to consult a neonatologist.

I hope this answers your query. Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any concerns.
Wishing you and your baby good health.
