Abdo cyst found @ 20w scan :(

[AlwaysSeekingComfort]

Hey all.

Had our 20w scan and it didn’t go as we had liked :(…. Sonographer found the baby has an abdominal cyst (but couldnt confirm where I.e. kidney, bowel, ovary) she said it was hard to tell. Have been referred to the FMU. This will be our first (had a MC before this one) and so am just deflated and sad that we are now facing the unknown with this pregnancy. Just wanted all to be ok so we can look forward to meeting LO.

Just wanted to know if anyone else has had a similar situation and cyst/s were found in their baby in the abdomen area? And if so, what were the outcomes? I would rather be prepared even if the outcomes were negative than to be blindsided by bad news.

Thanks in advance 💐

Thanks @AlwaysSeekingComfort. It's so sad to not be able to fully enjoy the pregnancy isn't it! As far as we can tell, our outcome should be good. She will definitely need surgery during her first year. The key risk for her is how much stress it puts on her heart. Also, lung issues In this covid world is a scary thought!! I have a 4 year old so also worrying how long I will need to be in hospital 🙁.

Hi @AlwaysSeekingComfort
