I went for my 24 week check up yesterday. The doctor said my baby girl s liver in enlarged. She said it is normal for the liver to be a bit bigger and that it will grow into size . We will just keep an eye on it as it is a bit larger than the norm. What causes this? What can I do, eat drink that can help? Is it of great concern? I m very worried!! Karin
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Enlarged liver in the fetus can be due to inborn errors of metabolism, viral infections like cytomegalovirus, toxoplasmosis, or can be due to any congenital anomalies in the liver. I will suggest you to consult a fetal medicine specialist to get a detailed anomaly ultrasound and amniocentesis, if required and get treated accordingly. Hope you found the answer helpful. Wishing you good health. Chat Doctor.
