Fluid on cervix in ultrasound
I had a transvaginal ultrasound today. I am 7 weeks pregnant. I have a2 year old and I had a miscarriage with d and c in September. During the ultrasound, the sonographer showed us baby and heartbeat and all seems well. She did leave and check with the dr at one point as she found something else. She came back to take more pictures and said the report would be sent as a priority to my obgyn and she would have the info. She said she had found fluid on mt cervix but couldnt tell me the significance. What could be causing this? I had a healthy preg with my daughter and no issues at all. I'm supposed to go out of the country on Saturday but not sure if this is serious or could cause a miscarriage? I haven't been able to get a hold of my dr yet.

Hi!
Without any images to look at, I will have to make some very un-educated guesses about what may be going on. My guess as to what is the most likely scenario is that the sonographer saw a Nabothian cyst on your cervix. These are extremely common, normal fluid filled cysts that many women have and is nothing at all to be concerned about. Another possibility that I think is less likely is that you have free fluid in your cervix although why that would be present, I don't know. If the gestational sac is above the fluid and the fetal heart is normal, there is once again, probably no cause for concern. I suppose there is a remote chance that you have a twin pregnancy with an empty sac that is lying below the baby at the top of your cervix -- not sure why you would have this without any symptoms of bleeding, etc.
If you were my patient, I would definitely want to discuss results with you before you left the country! So keep trying your doctor!
Good luck! and Congrats!

Thank you so much:) I can't find anything on the Internet about this so it was good to get some idea what it might be. That was really helpful, thanks!
