Hey, so I just saw this and I know someone answered you, but I figured I'd tell you our experience.
My rainbow baby, who's now almost 1, had an echogenic foci on his heart. Yes, it is a calcium deposit, and yes they normally resolve by 36 weeks, but ours didn't. It was one of then many many things they checked on our weekly sonos. They are harmless, but they are found in a large %age of kids with Down syndrome, and maybe 10% of kiddos born with no genetic problems. That being said, they may monitor you and baby more closely to see other signs of DS, which is what they did for us. We always asked about it and it was always there, but our son was born without DS, and they had pretty much ruled it out by the time he was born anyway.
If you had the progenity testing done and your risk was super low and you have no other signs via sono that indicate DS, they probably won't even really talk about it. We had a lot going on, so they told us everything and we asked a million and one questions. All that worry though, and our rainbow was perfect.
