A member asked:
I am 34 weeks pregnant. i had a 2nd ultrasound done and they found more fluid around the baby heart. i have to be monitored every week. does it mean?

Pericardial Fluid: This is not normal unfortunately. The clinical condition depends on how much fluid around the heart as too much fluid can compromise heart function. That is the reason you need to be monitored closely now. Hope this helps.
