Ultrasound showed cyst on baby's abdomen. Scared.

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

At my nuchal translucency ultrasound (at 11 weeks) it was discovered that there is possibly a cyst on the fetal abdomen.  I say "possible" because the doctor said it could just be part of the anatomy, maybe the kidney and not a cyst at all.  Level II ultrasound scheduled for the end of November.  Has anyone else been through this and if so, what was the outcome?  I know that there is a possibility that it might go away as the pregnancy progresses, but just last year we had to deal with my 2 year old's cancer (Neuroblastoma tumor in her belly) so this finding on the ultrasound has me going absolutely crazy.   Just curious to see if anyone else out there can relate.

Oh mama! I haven't been through this with any of mine but I saw your post and felt your worry. I found these previous discussions in a search and thought they might be helpful:
