They are looking I think because they think it could be genetic. My midwife
wanted me to have a level 2 ultrasound done. I had one with Bonnie also but
they looked mainly at the flow of blood between her and the placenta and it
turned out to be fine. Also I think both of his grandfathers died of heart
problems in their 50s while one of mine died in his 70s and the other is 82.
