Abnormal 12 week scan - fetal megacysistis

Has anyone had fetal megacystis suspected at their 12 week scan? I’ve got a follow up with fetal medicine for another scan but there’s a clear defect with baby’s abdomen but they can’t decide if it’s kidneys, abdominal wall or umbilical. It was clear on the scan there was an issue as you couldn’t see baby’s leg and there was a big clear circle where the legs should be. They did find baby’s legs/feet after a doctor came but it’s the waiting and not knowing that’s killing me.

if it is fetal megacysistis; what is the outlook?

Milder cases usually resolve themselves in utero. More severe cases you could be looking at kidney and bladder issues, sometimes pulmonary.

You really need to see a specialist, internet advice will only scare you. Best of luck.
