Hello All,
Not sure if I am posting in the right section, put hoping anyone can help...
So we had our 20 week scan last Friday, after a hard sway to TTC a girll, we were told Boy, but that everything else was fine. Of course we were devastated that our sway didn't work (cried for days).
Anyway all my gender disappointment disappeared at my follow up midwife's appointment yesterday when she opened our scans to read the report that our baby boy has a 3mm isolated CPC in the brain.
My widwife quickly went on to explain what it was and that they are quite normal and usually go away on their own, however that there is a slight risk (1%) that is could be linked to Trisomy 18.
However given my age (33), my 12 week NT scan came back low risk, and that there was no other evidence of "soft markers" for Trisomy 18 (e.g Baby size, Clenched fists, club foot, heart and kidneys) and that its considered extremely low risk.
After spending the past 2 days trawling the internet I have come across lots of forums from other mums with similar stories and that follow up scans done at 28-32 weeks all evidence of the cysts had disappeared.
I am hopeful that the same will happen with our baby, but was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience with CPC's at their 18-20 weeks ultra sound?
Thanks in advance.
