Don't worry yourself too much. My son had the same thing at my 18 week US and when I went back at 23 weeks it was gone. I had all kinds of blood work done as well and had to speak to a specialist but only if it hadn't but I'm 29+3 now and we're both healthy. Good luck mama.

A growing baby inside us is stressful enough, and then have to deal with this,  but think positive. It can still resolve it's self soon. They had seen something in my daughters brain. It cleared itself. Today she is a happy healthy 5 year old. Right now I too am 22 wks pregnant I have a re schedule for u.s. They seen something in baby's stomach. So I understand your situation.
