Cystic Hygroma

So...we just had our order ultrasound and everything looked good except one thing. The doctor wants to keep an eye on some fluid that is on the back of the baby's neck and back. He said it could be something called cystic hygroma. I go back for another ultrasound in 3 weeks to see if it goes away. Anyone else had an experience with this? I am so scared.

How far along are you?  

I have had experience with this.  Assuming the baby's chromosomes are okay, they will probably just monitor to make sure everything is developing normally, especially the heart. Did they refer you to an MFM or high risk doctor or suggest genetic testing?  If not, then I would ask for it. An MFM will give you better care in a situation like this. Good luck!
