What should I do if there is a black spot near the baby's heart?

Patient's question:

I am four months and ten days pregnant. About ten days ago, I was hospitalized for two days due to sudden abdominal pain at night. The doctor performed an ultrasound on the baby and confirmed that everything was normal, and then I was discharged. Yesterday, I went to the hospital for a follow-up check-up, and another doctor performed an ultrasound on my baby, only to discover a dark spot near the heart. The doctor suspected it was the stomach! If it is indeed the stomach, then its location is incorrect. The specialist will be able to confirm it in three days. Oh my god, these three days will be so long for me. How could such significant changes occur in just ten days? ?? Please ask the online expert, is this possible? Also, during the early stages of my pregnancy,

Doctor's answer:

This small black spot in the fetal heart may be due to central mineral deposition in the papillary muscle, or thickening of the intraventricular chordae. It could also be an incomplete perforation of the papillary muscle and chordae (a variation during development), which often shrink or disappear as the pregnancy progresses. Generally, doctors recommend that women with risk signs during prenatal examinations maintain a balanced diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, as well as cold foods. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to creating a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
