Hello
You are rightly advised to wait and follow up ultrasound.
I don't think it is a big issue.Since fetus maturity is only 18 weeks,there are high chance that findings will improve and it is expected to be normal with time.
So,there is no need to be panicky.We should wait patiently and expect for the best.
