SUA...and a Choroid Plexus Cyst.

Looking for anyone who's experienced both...

After our anatomy scan at 21 weeks, my midwife called to tell us they had found a Choroid Plexus Cyst (normal-ish...) and that my umbilical cord is a Single Vessel Cord. Yikes.So, because that is 2 "soft signs", we have to go for a Level II Ultrasound at McMaster. I am waiting to be contacted with the appointment time (Requisition was sent by her Thursday, now it's Monday).

She did say his anatomy scan was good, growth was good, heart was good...that they need to look at kidneys and "just didn't see everything they needed to see".
Needless to say I have turned her words over a million times, struggling not to call her and shine a light in her face and say TELL ME EVERYTHING YOU KNOW, OR DID YOU ALREADY?! She did say because the rest looks good, theyare likely isolated from each other...

From what I have read, most of the time there's nothing to really worry about (except some of the risks that come with SUA). But that tiny threat of a chromosomal issue eats at me a little.

How do you keep calm? I go from being cool and calm and sure it's all fine, to crying and worrying and obsessing like a madwoman. The stress of it exhausts me and I want to hide away til I have answers. I love this baby. I love him and all I want is for this to be easy.

Anyone experience this? Any advice/experiences/shutuphe'sprobablyfine is much appreciated.

    Try to relax! Inhavent dealt with these findings specifically, but i am also dealing wit abnormal resulta from my 19wk scan. What your Dr. Has said should be some what a relief, if it was a chromosome issue possibility, they would have mentioned it.

    I am not sure how religious you are, but try and pray, and talk it out with family/friends. Thats what is helping me.

    Good Luck

    Thank you so much. I am so sorry you're going through something similar. I'm not religious but I do believe in a higher power..someone up there heard my prayers to get pregnant with this beautiful baby, and so I continue to pray!

     Thanks again for your kind words.

    I got some similar news yesterday at my 19 week ultrasound. I found out I am having a girl, which I am ecstatic about.. But also that she has two Choroid Plexus Cysts on her brain. I didn't see my regular doctor yesterday, but the nurse practitioner, who didn't seem very worried. She said it is something they actually see a lot of and that they would usually go away within a month, but that it wasn't something we were just going to shrug off either. I go back for another ultrasound in three weeks.
    I've seen many posts saying the same thing the NP told me; that they usually go away and I shouldn't worry. But I can't help but be a little scared for my daughter.

    Our baby was found to have a CP cyst and one clubbed foot at the anatomy scan. The two together could be a marker for Trisomy 18, which is basically fatal.  Everything else looked good in terms of growth and organs.  I opted for the fetal DNA test and it was a long 10 days before I got the results that the screen was thankfully negative.  

    Either way, I would've declined amnio because terminating that late was not something I would've considered.  I was beside myself for days, throwing up, waking up crying, it was horrible.  I had to pull myself together and be optimistic for my baby.  Just hang in there and try to stay positive.  Chances are that everything will be fine.

    At my 18 week ultrasound I was told they saw two soft markers as well. A cpc and bright bowel. I was a nervous wreck for a couple weeks. Had my level two ultrasound and everything was fine. The cpc had went away on its own and her bowel looked normal . I know it's easier said than done but try not to stress.

    Thank you everyone for your kind and reassuring words.

    Everything at the appointment was absolutely fine. They did confirm the single umbilical artery, but could find no indication of any chromosomal or developmental abnormalities, and did not encourage or suggest further testing. CPC is gone.

    What a huge relief. 
    I grinned like an idiot.

    And...it's a BOYYY! :)
