Is fluid in baby's belly normal & any advice?

I just got a call from the doctor saying she reviewed my recent ultrasound and reccomended me see a high risk OB to get an ultrasound check, due to what looks like an abnormal amount of fluid in my unborn baby's belly.

I'm 18 weeks along & this is my second child.
Just found out we're having a girl like we've hoped so you can imagine how scared & heartbroken we are to hear something may be wrong w/ her.
Googling was probably the worst thing I could do. It only brought me to tears in attempt to educate myself & prepare for the worse.

Anyone have similar experiences or even just positive outlooks on the subject?
I definitely need it right now...

Don't stress about it when you don't know what it could be yet. I understand the worry and stress you are going through but don't Google anything as it usually makes us expectant mothers feel much worse. :( just hope and pray everything is going to be alright and wait to hear what your doctor has to say first or what they find. No news is good news so just stay positive and you will take in the information when the time comes good or bad don't worry about it I know it's easier said than done
