fluid around baby's heart

in 2nd Trimester
I had my 20w ultrasound done Friday, and the OB called today saying they found some fluid around his heart.  I'm getting sent to a more specialized clinic for further scans.  I probably wouldn't be too concerned except DH has a family history of heart abnormalities.  Anybody else there with me, or been there before?  What should I be expecting?

    Thanks :) We have an echocardiogram and a genetics appointment set for next week.  I'm scared to death, but hopeful we can get some answers!

    I also have no experience, have you checked the high risk board? Maybe someone over there has experienced something similar?
    Good luck.

    DD had an issue with her heart and we were sent to a specialist as well. It was very scary. The doctor did a very in depth ultrasound, came and talked to us about the results, and had my other specialist (I was seeing for another issue) keep an eye on things for a while. Now, your situation is a bit different than mine but this is what happened in our initial appt with the specialist (just to give you an idea). As I am sure you already have, do some research and write down some questions you have (I would have forgotten most of them had I not written them down). GL my thoughts are with you.
