If your baby were to have Trisomy 18, they would have found other problems with the development. There is NO WAY that a baby at 20 weeks would be perfectly fine - organs, heart, etc and have Trisomy 18. Several other abnormalities in growth would have been found if the baby were to have it. Dont worry.
hi Nini,
I'm sorry your living this (again), as you say God is testing you intensively. However the odds are really on your side so I'm sure everything will be fine. Of course it's easier said than done, but scorpiogirl's story shows that everything will more likely be ok. Looking forward to the 9 months when we all be holding healthy babies in our arms :-D
Thinking of you

Thanks everyone for all your support and prayers!! The doctor has given me great hope and it makes me feel better that she is not worried, she told me an amino is not necessary and the cyst will probably go away. I asked to go for a follow up u/s in one month to make sure she is growing properly. I will be 6 months then and hopefully she will still be just as healthy. I have just had so much stress with this baby and I am only 5 months. Every time I start to relax and really enjoy my pregnnacy I get another scare.
Scorpiogirl- your story made me relax alittle bit and gives me hope. Thanks for sharing that with me.
my 20 month old had three cysts on her brain when she was 16 weeks in utero .the doctor said it was a sign of downs syndrom but most of the time thay go away i was told in target shopping for my baby thay told me not to worry ya right i started to cry......anyway about 8 weeks later thay were gone, i hope the best for you and your baby i will also pray for your baby
I am sorry to hear that you were told there is a chance of your baby having this. But try to listen to the doctor, try not to worry. They need to tell you the possibilities, even if they are slimmer than slim. Unfortunately that is all part of their job. I will be praying that your baby is strong, happy and healthy. Best of luck.
Did they end up booking another ultrasound to see how things will be panning out??
really sorry.. Just u'll have to be strong..i'll keep u and ur baby in my prayer that the cyst goes away ....
I am so sorry but these are fairly common! I will keep you in my thouights and prayers and please keep us posted!
I am so sorry! I hope it is nothing to worry about. Just be strong and keep your faith. Remember god doest give us anything we cant handel. I will keep you in my prayers!
