At my 20-week ultrasound, the technician told my husband and me that everything looked fine so I was floored when the doctor came into the exam room a few minutes later, scanned the results and told me they had detected one, maybe two, choroid plexus cysts in the baby's brain. I didn't even know what to ask the doctor since I had never heard about CPCs before but I remember her saying "down syndrome" and "trisomy 18" so I left her office terrified. Over the next three weeks, my husband and I scoured the internet for any information we could find on CPCs (even though we were told NOT to do that since it would only scare us further). Finally, we went for a level II ultrasound with a fetal medicine specialist and thankfully, both the technician and doctor confirmed that there were no longer any cysts on the baby's brain. Come to find out, CPCs are fairly common occurrences and in most cases, they disappear on their own and are not indicators of genetic abnormalities.
