Fetal situs on Anatomy scan

Anyone else ever heard of this? My anatomy scan went fine… The tech whipped through the whole thing and wasn’t like appearing to overly scan anything or focus more on anything, we got all of the pictures of every body part during the scan…. But then when i got the interpretation back a few days later it says need to have a redo for evaluation of fetal situs…. I work in medicine and am still confused by this. From what I understand it’s like figuring out if the organs are in the right spot? Like the correct side of the body? Does anyone have any more info on this? My OB wrote “normal” on the exam before she released it to me. I messaged my OB to see what’s going on but 🫠🤔

I also went down the Reddit rabbit hole but didn’t find too much 🤣😩 anyone a radiology tech and know what this could mean

During mine today she talked about checking that the stomach, kidneys, and heart were located where they are supposed to be. So it sounds like that couldn't be confirmed by your images. I had mine at a MFM specialist, so I got more immediate feedback and info than I have in the past.

It’s odd to me because i know the tech isn’t supposed to legally comment on anything about your scan but she 1000% mentioned that everything was in the right place 🫣 The anatomy scans are so stressful to Me. Last year my sons femur was in the <1% and we were sent running all over town to all the specialists just to be told 1. If he has a short femur or short leg there’s nothing we can do about it and 2. He was born perfectly fine I just feel like they send us for so many extra stress inducing tests that are unnecessary and costly and make me paranoid when nothing can be treated anyway if there is something wrong and *hopefully* nothing is wrong in the first place and it’s more of a ~cover your ass~ thing for the radiologist?

I've seen that before it's because one of the images on the left side or right side didn't get a great image More likely your Doctor would Immediately called you if there was something concerning
