amnio test, measuring 2 weeks behind, cyst on brain

Wondering if anyone has had same issues as I am... had my 14 week ultrasound doctor found my little girl is measuring a week behind, I only have a two vessel umbilical cord, and there is a small area in the brain that does not look right. I am now going for an amnio. Nothing showed up on nipt test but now this. This is my 6th pregnancy, all my other ended in miscarriage weeks 5-9. So I was really excited when I made it the second trimester but now I'm second guessing everything. 3 weeks till my test and another 2 for the results. Will this be a month of hell? Should I be extremely worried about my baby?
trying not to give up on her but feel hopeless.
Re: amnio test, measuring 2 weeks behind, cyst on brain
The good news is that the nipt came back low risk, so odds are lower that there is a chromosomal abnormality.
In your title you said cyst on brain, but the body of your text said there is something wrong with the brain. If it’s a cyst, it more than likely can resolve and does not indicate alone a chromosomal abnormality. My six year old had one that resolved before birth and I was told it’s a normal variant and unless combined with other markers is not a reason for concern. She was born healthy.
The two vessel cord most definitely can cause growth restriction, but at this gestation one week behind can be a reason for additional monitoring, but not necessarily a reason to give up on the pregnancy. Many babies are born healthy with two vessel cords.
Your daughter definitely has some reasons to be monitored closely, but she could still develop normally and be born healthy. Ask your healthcare provider to calm your anxiety by giving you the positive possible outcomes. I like odds, so that’s a question you could ask.
Good luck and prayers for the best best possible outcome.
I just wanted to pop in in solidarity. I am having twins and one of them is measuring small so we will be doing an amnio tomorrow to determine any genetic or placental issues. I hope your drs will be doing closer monitoring as well as the amnio. Wishing you the best 💜
@kbrown2385 good luck tomorrow at your amnio and congrats on the twins!
