Choroid Plexus Cysts

So, after our 20 week ultrasound we went in and talked with the doctor like normal, when he told us that our precious little princess had a "choroid plexus cyst." "What the heck is that" right!? Well he went on saying that the choroid plexus is the part of our brains that makes the spinal fluid, and that in that section of our baby girls brain there was a cyst. "What!! Are you kidding me?! WHY? HOW? What does that even mean!?!" He said, "Dont worry, Its nothing, I wish I didnt even have to tell you this but Im obligated to, its really common dont stress about it." As my blood pressure shoots through the roof and I turn bright red and start shaking... "Seriously!? Dont stress about it!? This is my baby we are talking about, my very first baby! Are you stupid or something of course Im going to stress about it!" He went on to say, "When we see these, its a little red flag and we usually see an increased risk of down syndrome with babies that have choroid plexus cysts like 1 in 300 but usually there are more than just one little red flag, usually if the baby has a chromosome defect there are other problems and your ultrasound was great!" "Seriously if you dont want me to stress you should stop talking now." He said, "If you want we can do an amniocentesis to test for chromosome abnormalities but the risk of miscarrying afterwards is high, or we could do what we call a stage two ultrasound, which is a lot more detailed and we can really look at everything to make sure there are no other little red flags, but your ultrasound was great Im not worried at all, these usually go away by 30 weeks. In my 20 years of delivering babies Ive never seen anything bad come from a choroid plexus cyst." FYI: Those were just my thoughts I didnt actually say those things to the doctor :) We decided that we wouldn't do anything. An amniocentesis wasnt worth the risk to us and if he was really so confident that it was nothing then we didnt need the ultrasound either. We went to our cars and I balled my eyes out smearing mascara all over Levi's clothes. Levi decided to tell his family and I decided to just tell my parents. All of which were supportive and optimistic. (Thanks, by the way) Well at my next appointment with my regular doctor (She was out of town for the previous visit and another doctor was filling in for her) she convinced me to have the second stage ultrasound saying that she likes all of her patients to have them if there are any abnormalities. So we made the appointment, which brings us to the present. After two months of knowing that our daughter could have down syndrome or another chromosome defect, I was ok with that. I was ok with whatever God had in store for Levi and I. The first two weeks were hard and I cried, stressed, worried, bit my nails, played the 'What If' game, but after lots of prayers I was ok. I was no longer stressed about it, I was anxious for the ultrasound and impatient for the results, but my trust was in God and his path for me and my little family. We had the ultrasound today and just like the doctor said, the cyst went away. The Doctor we saw said, "She looks beautiful and healthy, she is perfect." There isnt a single thing wrong. They told me I better have a few pairs of running shoes because she is a very busy baby and moving constantly. She has her little hand gripping the umbilical cord next to her face and she is "practice breathing" a lot, she even blinked at us. She is perfect and I love her so much already. I cant wait to kiss my sweet little angel. Thank you to all who knew about this and supported Levi and I. Mama Lisa you were an angel sent from God, just for me. Thank you for listening and crying with me and reassuring me and looking it up and talking to your doctors and doctor friends. I really love you all, and Im so grateful for your love, prayers, and support.
