Okay so went for ultrasound and monthly check up today, they said there's a cyst on the baby's brain and it's nothing to worry about. My concern is, of something is pressing on the brain and it can't develop all the way in that spot, what can it cause?! They don't know the cause of autism how do they know this is nothing to worry about?! Okay sure if it disappears then great but what else can it do in the long run??? Anyone know someone or themselves that were told this and everything was okay later on in the child's life and/or if not what developmental struggles did it cause?! I'm trying not to worry but of course I worry still .
Thanks ladies @evococa @jensensmom , I Def needed some reassurance, of course I'm still gonna worry I have another ultrasound on March 7th so hopefully that's fine, I'm just really worried about long term effects.
I know it's not the same thing but when I got my 20 week ultrasound, they said my son had fluid in his left abdomen. I went to a high risk doctor a few weeks later and they didn't see anything so that could be the same case and why they don't want you to worry :) I know it's hard not to though. They also tried to tell me he was delayed in growth as well (his femurs) and he's growing just fine. Just take a deep breath and tell yourself he's going to be fine no matter the outcome.
Yeah, I don't blame you! I was really sheltered from all of what could happen with my first. Now with seeing my sister do this, it's a real eye opener. And thank you <3 it's definitely something weighing heavily on her now, but she's coping as best she can. I'm sure you can do it (: just need some time to adjust and absorb this new info <3
@mamabearluken, yes just measuring a week smaller than I am. @evococa thank you! I hope your sister gets better soon! I am praying and trying not to stress. Just have never heard of this until now and this is my 3rd pregnancy.
We have a family friend who is an adult now who had a cyst on the brain in utero. It was removed and he grew to be a healthy fully functioning adult, no disabilities! And that was ages ago, with less technology than we have today. In sure your dr will keep an eye on it. My sister right now is going through something similar only instead of a cyst it's water on the brain, so I know how stressful that can be from seeing her go through this. I'll be praying for you and baby, but until your doctor gives you more info, try to keep a positive mindset. Stressing yourself is the last thing you need momma. <3
Yeah I'm sure everything is fine , did they say if baby was growing normally ?
@mamabearluken, Thanks love. Due to all blood work I know it's not downs or anything like that. They want me back in 4 weeks for a check on the baby's brain. Only thing I'm concerned about really is developmental delays or struggles. But like you said God only gives us what we can handle.
when I went for my 19 week scan I found out the exact same thing. the statistics for how many babies has a cyst of some sort is high. as in its super common and not much to fret about. as long as your baby is growing on track and everything else is normal than you shouldn't worry. they told me my options were do the amniocentisis or do another ultrasound at 32 weeks to check. so I chose the ultrasound. God wouldn't give me something I couldn't handle so I'm just believing that He is watching over me and my unborn son. hope this helped
@liveitwithlove, So far I've done good with staying off Google, lol
So far, being my key words.
Of course <3 but like I tell my sister, one step at a time. Nothing you do can change what will happen and there's no sense borrowing trouble. I know it's not so easy as that, but I just mean to say if you catch yourself getting worked up about it, try to distract yourself. Praying for good news in March!
