My 20 week ultrasound noted that my baby s heart was enlarged what does this mean ?

It means that your : Ob may do genetic & other medical tests (e.g., for prenatal infections & exposures) & consult fetal-maternal medicine specialists to help find the cause & assist in determining the optimal timing & mode of delivery. Also, see a pediatric cardiologist who specializes in prenatal diagnosis, so that all needed care will be given your newborn in a seamless, controlled manner. Best wishes.

Need more: A more detailed study of the babies heart may be required to answer this question. The cause of the enlargement, if true, needs to be determined to answer the question. There can be lots of potential answers.
