I'm 20 weeks pregnant and found out my baby has 4 Choroid Plexus Cysts am i going to have a healthy baby?

Question

I'm 22yrs old and pregnant with my second child i found out at my 19 week ultrasound my baby has 4 Choroid Plexus Cysts on his brain my husband and i are so scared because they're on both sides of the brain(bilateral) 2 are 0.46cm and the other 2 are 0.43cm. i read on a site for these cysts that any more than 10mm cysts is a worry. i can't sleep or eat and i can't stop thinking about my baby.There is nothing else wrong with my baby according to a normal ultrasound. i saw a gynochologist and she said they should disappear in the next 4 weeks and that these cysts are only small but there is four of them???What if they don't disappear what if they grow larger?She also suggested an amnio but i said no as they can harm the baby when it could be ok anyway. i've had the triple marker test and am waiting for that to come back in 10 days but it's not accurate would a type 2 ultrasound pick up anything different than a normal one?

Answer 1

Chorid Plexus cysts are not so much harmful, but more an indicator of other problems. Just let the doctors run the tests and go from there, no sense in worrying about it, although I know its hard not to. They are just seeing if the baby has any other problems, which may have led to the cysts.
