*In case anyone actually reads this, sorry ahead of time but here is a fair warning: There is quite a bit of TMI throughout my journals.*
By the time we went in to see the doctor after the ultrasound, I was over the whole "I wanted a boy" thing and was just excited lol (that took all of 5 mins) Or at least I was excited until the doctor came in and said "So, did the technician explain anything she found to you?" I was suddenly devastated and scared again. I told him that she hadn't and he started saying that the tech had noticed a small echo in the heart. I breathed a sigh of relief that that was all it was. My husband and I both have arrhythmias (his being much worse) and heart conditions run in his family to begin with so we expected our child to have SOMETHING wrong with their heart.
Assuming that was all I said "OK so when do you want to see me back then?" He said that I was supposed to schedule my usual monthly appointment but there was one more thing wrong with my little one. He then started a speech about how it's usually nothing and will probably correct itself but.... our little girl has cysts on her brain.
Choroid plexus cysts, according to my doctor, occur in 1 out of 3 pregnancies these days but the mother may never know because they generally resolve themselves by 28 to 30 weeks. They are just small cysts in the fluid filled spaces in the brain. I was a little bit upset after hearing that but accepted that they can go away just fine on their own and hoped that that is what will happen. I knew it was better for me and the baby to just be happy instead of panicking. He sent us on our way after a little bit more chit-chat and we scheduled the next appointment for Sept. 28th.
