I had my first ultrasound Wednesday and found out we are having a little girl . Yesterday I received a phone call from my doctor letting me know that he found a small cyst on my babies brain and that I will need to go have a level 2 ultrasound done in the following weeks . He reassured me that it is very common and will resolve on its own, everything else looks great and not to worry but I can't help but stress . Has anyone else experienced this ? Thank you so much
Re: choroid plexus cyst
My doctor said if you did an US daily on all women from 16-26 weeks you'd find them in everyone (or nearly.) It's just a matter of the day you have your scan. And they are a normal part of development.
If I had done the optional testing at 12 weeks they wouldn't have even mentioned the cysts.
So most likely nothing to worry about if they didn't find anything else.
I do my best to stay far, far away from Google. It seems like every time I look something up online, my imagination goes crazy. But I'm feeling a bit more at ease after reading this.
Just a follow up regarding my situation regarding the Cysts. My baby currently has 3 cysts in his brain - I am 21 weeks pregnant. I went this week for a genetic specialist sonogram. They explained to me that these cysts do not effect the baby at all. Most of the time, they will disappear on their own as baby grows. If they dont, they still wont effect the baby. The only thing is that cysts are "soft markers" for downs or tri 18. I have other "soft markers" on the baby (kidney and heart), so I got the Matera 21 bloodwork - it's 99.1% accurate to pick up if baby has any of those issues. Please dont stress and please dont worry. I was a mess for a week until my appointment, but they eased my mind and I'm sure they will ease your mind too. Best of luck to you!! Please keep me updated!
