Echogenic lungs and polyhydramnios

I'm absolutely terrified 😔 went for a private scan on Wednesday because I haven't been feeling right and my husband wanted to see the baby. We were visiting family so had childcare. The lady doing the scan found that I had too much amniotic fluid (polyhydramnios) and that the lungs appeared bright white. (She put it in the notes at echogenic lungs) . I called my midwife as she advised but I can't get a scan to check the lungs until March 7th. Everything I read online is difficult to understand but scary and doesn't have a great outcome. Everything I've read says the lung issue was picked up at the 20 week scan, but nothing was said at mine. The scan I just had was 33+4. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience on this at such a late stage? My anxiety is through the roof and I just feel like crying all of the time.
