Even after birth there is an excellent chance that VSDs of this type can get smaller spontaneously, or even close completely. Your doctor may ask for another
fetal echo when the
baby is further along in the pregnancy, but if not, then an echocardiogram should be done within the first few weeks after birth to see if the VSD is still present and what size it is at the time. Depending upon that evaluation, your doctor can decide what type of follow up (if any) is required.
