Daughter Is Pregnant, Scan Done. Seems To Be A Vein Growing Outside Of The Baby's Heart. Possibility Of Diabetes?

We have just been for a scan for my daughters pregnancy she is 36 weeks but there have sent her for the scan because she is showing 38 weeks - they spent a lot of time looking at the baby's heart saying it appears there may be a vein growing on the outside of the heart and are sending her for another scan tomorrow and a diabetes check - what are the possible implications of this?

1. given the history probably doctors are looking for any CHD (Congenital Heart disease).

2. If maternal blood sugar is high,it affects fetal heart and somatic development that might be the reason of concern for doctors.
