Baby has “midgut herniation”?

Question

Anyone ever go to their 1st ultrasound and been told that Baby has “midgut herniation”? Is this common??? I opted for noninvasive prenatal DNA screening.... anyone been thru this? Praying everything is ok...

Answer

From my understanding (which is limited) midgut herniation is a normal physiological occurrence during fetal development, but it is a time where complications can occur. An omphalocele is a possible complication, which is a defect in the abdominal wall.
