POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy7 months agoA. It sounds like your baby was born at 35 weeks as a preterm baby, and the doctor mentioned a small hole in the heart. This could be something like:
Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) – A small opening between the heart chambers that usually closes on its own. Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) or Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) – Small holes in the heart that might close naturally as the baby grows. Is It Serious? Many small holes close on their own within the first 1–2 years of life. If the hole is very small and there are no symptoms (like breathing difficulty, slow weight gain, or bluish skin), doctors usually monitor it over time. Follow-up with a pediatric cardiologist is essential to check if it’s closing. What Should You Do Now? Regular checkups – Your doctor may suggest an echocardiogram to monitor progress. Watch for symptoms – If your baby has trouble feeding, breathing issues, excessive sweating, or slow weight gain, inform the doctor. No need to panic – Since the doctor said it’s very small, there’s a good chance it will close naturally.
Has your baby had a follow-up heart scan recently?
