Abdominal cyst

[Mrsbadger77]

I had my dating scan today where they discovered my baby has an abdominal cyst. I'm going to be referred for more investigation to fetal medicine. Has anyone ever had this? What could it be? I was in such shock when they told me i didn't ask any proper questions.

Hey @Mrsbadger77, I know this is such an old thread so am clutching @ straws here. But if you can see this, just wondered how your LO got on? X

Hi , I had my 20 week scan last week and have been told baby has free fluid in abdomen and that’s it . Refered to Fetal medicine for scan tomorrow. How did you get on in the end ? Think I’m clutching at straws as well can hardly find any information and what I can find is not good :(

@AlwaysSeekingComfort are you going through anything simaler ? X

Hey @Timeflyin, my LO was found to have a “cyst” in their abdomen @ my 20w scan….. was referred to FMU… haven’t had much answers from them in terms of what the outcome will be… also have scoured the internet looking for answers :(. Have to have MRI @ 30-32w.

Sorry to hear your news! Hope the appointment tomorrow goes OK and keep us updated! X

Hey all, we had our 32 week scan on Friday and they found an abdominal cyst measuring 4.6cm. We’ve been referred to fetal medicine but wondered how you all got on in the end?

@Bubbles14 Pleased to say my LO is 4 now. the cyst was removed at 7m old. Was diagnosed as a duplication of the bowel cyst (was removed as these have the potential to turn malignant) but my LO is happy healthy 4yr old

sorry to hear you are going through similar…. It’s horrible the unknown. Please try stay positive x
