Cyst on umbilical cord?

Hi ladies
I had my anatomy scan this morning and was told then that babe looks great and is a girl which is awesome and that the doctor didn't need to see me after the tech reviewed the scans with him.

Then when I got home from work I had a call from my OB maternity clinic and the doctor told me that they noted a small cyst on the umbilical cord near where it attaches to baby and that I have to have another ultrasound in 4 weeks.
She also said it was noted on the report they just want to monitor it and that it usually would not cause any adverse outcome.

I've been online checking it out, perhaps not very wise and there can be very bad outcomes but usually only if other anomalies are present. My 12 week nt scan was excellent and probabilities of anything very low and baby has looked good on this and earlier scans. Usually however the cysts that go away or don't amount to anything are found in first tri. This was not detected then but only now at 18 weeks.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm really trying not to worry but after my miscarriage last year it's hard. Any words of wisdom out there?
Thanks sorry for the rambling and possible SS thread

  • T&Ps!! If the doc didn't seem too concerned that's a good sign! And DON'T read the Internet it will drive you CRAZY like it did me when I got a regular with Thimerosal flu shot at 6 weeks! Save your sanity and don't read! Good luck!!
  • Our LO had the same during the first tri. It has since disappeared. Dr told us not to worry, just that we'd monitor it. If your dr also told you not to worry and that it would probably be fine, do your best to not think on it too long! Sounds like everything else is looking good so far, which is very positive! Ultrasounds are so much better now-a-days, they pick up even the smallest things that often resolve themselves. Thoughts for you and LO!
  • FX for your next scan - I can appreciate how scary this can be! Keep us updated!

  • Not what I considered ss post. This is concerning as it would be to most parents. Fx everything turns out just fine! Keep us posted. I'll be sure to keep you guys in my thoughts and prayers.
  • Hi Ladies, Today is the day for my follow up ultrasound to check on the cyst. Its in about 15 minutes actually...... I am a bit nervous and anxious but feeling pretty positive that everything is okay. Baby has definitely grown and I am feeling lots of movement. Anyways wish me luck and fingers crossed. I will update again as soon as I have more info :)
