HI..I am 32 weeks and I recently had an ultrasound that has had me very worried and scared......The doctor said that my baby has more than average of fluid in his brain...She said it should be 10 mm (or mg)...but instead it's 12 mm (or mg)...She also said his brain looks fine and that I should'nt worry ....all I know is that on my ultrasound sheet it says PROMINENT CISTERNA MAGNA....WHAT DOES THIS MEAN ?....WILL MY BABY BE OKAY????
