Hi all,
My first time posting here, but I’m a bit worried and hoping someone who has experienced something similar could put my mind at ease!
I’m pregnant with my first baby, had my 20 week anomaly scan yesterday. So far all scans/tests have come back completely normal; at yesterday’s scan the sonographer told me everything was fine with the baby apart from a small 2cm cyst in his abdomen, and she had no clue what it was. She wanted to refer me straight to fetal medicine for scans/tests that day, but eventually two midwives came to speak to me and said you do need an extra scan, but it won’t be today and unlike the sonographer, they didn’t seem overly worried at all which did put my mind at ease. The report I’ve been given says that every other organ, limb etc appears normal, and funnily enough the cord insertion site, that they’re saying the cyst is close to, has been listed as normal too.
I guess my question is: has anyone else experienced anything similar, and if everything else seemed normal on the scan, am I just getting myself overly worked up about something that could just resolve itself? I’m sick with worry waiting for our appointment with fetal medicine and have managed to convince myself that they’re going to find a long list of problems when we go to see them!
Thank you for reading!
