Does Presence Of Ascites Cause Harm To Foetus?

Hi. I had my first dating scan on monday & was 12weeks 1 day. The NT measurement was 4.2mm & they noted ascites around the baby. I have an appointment with fetal medicine this week but am really worried about the outcome - can you advise what prognosis might be, is there any chance my baby could still be ok??
