Updates and Questions
Ok, so those of you who remember from last week, I had been sort of diagnosed with pregnancy related TMJ. She said just to use hot or cold packs plys Tylenol, no biggie..
So we had our Anatomy Scan done and it was double checked to make sure it was a boy and he was (yay!) but also he was found to have tiny tiny cysts on his brain. The high risk doctor and my regular doctor talked and "usually" they go away in third trimester or by birth.
They were not able to check his heart due to his position but I am going back in two weeks. Now, she said, if there are more abnormalities, we may go for an amnio. If all is well, great if not..well she said we cross the bridge when we get there...
Now, my questions to you guys..have you ever heard of cysts on the brain? Any experience, thoughts??
I feel like every time I go to the doctor, I get more weird news. I am too young for this crap.

I personally don't but a friend was told the exact same thing about the cysts on her baby's brain, she opted not to have an amnio and her baby is totally healthy girl. I hope that helps!

Re: Updates and Questions
My friend's daughter had the same thing. She and her DH were completely freaked out the entire time (rightfully so), however, her  came out perfectly healthy and is currently one very adorable and SMART 2 1/2 year old!
ETA: I'm 95% certain she didn't have an amnio

Re: Updates and Questions
When my cousin was PG with her She had cysts all over her brain as well, and the baby had a very high chance of having downs. They opted not to do an amniotic, and figured to just see what would happen.
Fast forward 7 years, and she is 100% healthy!
 Good luck and try not to get too stressed.

My DD had cysts on her brain as well - They are called choroid plexus cysts. They are actually pretty common and they went away by 32 weeks. Don't worry!

Wow, I can't believe this happens more than I heard of before. I still am nervous but feel better having read this.
