Ultrasound results in Dr. speak.
Here is what they have to say about my last ultrasound. The part in bold is what I don't like and have gotten no instruction on.

anechoic area is an area that absorbs the ultrasound rays instead of echoing it back. It could mean a possible small bleed or it could be normal placental formation and the rays just didnt bounce back. I wouldnt worry about it unless the doctor is concerned. My guess is shes not worried about it or would have done further testing right away.
