Cyst on umbilical cord?

I had my fist ultrasound at 8 weeks, and at my 12 week appointment I was told they found a cyst on the umbilical cord. They said there's nothing to do or worry about at this point and that it might go away on its own. I go in next for my normal 20 week ultrasound at the end of May and they will take a look at it then.

I've found some pretty scary stuff on Google (I know bad idea), basically saying it's either nothing and will go away or it is a marker of Trisomy 13 or Trisomy 18. We did not to genetic testing.

Has anyone else had this come up? Any info would be great.
