Has anyone had any experience of this and is able to help me try and calm down as I am freaking out big time!
I had my 20w NHS scan last week and there were no structural abnormalities but the sonographer found 2 choroid plexus cysts. She didn't seem too concerned and said that they normally resolve but as a precaution (I am 42 and have had a previous downs pregnancy) she would refer me for another scan with the consultant in a couple of weeks.
I decided in the meantime to go to the FMC for another scan to get some reassurance and this has just made things worse. They found another soft marker for chromosomal issues (a sandal toe separation of big and second toe). The Dr didn't propose an amnio at this stage because of the risks to the baby but suggested i come back at 32wks and have one then.
I'm so confused. If I find out at 32wks that there is a problem what are we supposed to do with that information at that stage? And how am I supposed to wait another 11wks as I get bigger and more attached to my baby girl (as do my two children who are sooo excited). But should I have an amnio when the risks of miscarriage are 1/100 when my 12wk scan gave me a risk of 1/636 (and my NHS results were even better) which hasn't been changed by the presence of the soft markers???
Sorry for rambling post but any experiences that you have had would be gratefully received as I'm just so scared, confused and terrified of what might happen next.
Thank you.
