Choroid plexus cysts (CPCs) are cysts that occur within choroid plexus of the brain. The brain contains pockets or spaces called ventricles with a spongy layer of cells and blood vessels called the choroid plexus. This is in the middle of the fetal brain.
There is no safe amount of alcohol you can drink. Fetal brain development damage can occur with just one drink.
Sorry to hear this. I had never heard of this and did some research. This is what I found. Hope it helps and prayers for you && the little one :)
CPCs can form within this structure and come from fluid trapped within this spongy layer of cells, much like a soap bubble or a blister. CPCs are often called "soft signs" or fetal ultrasound "markers" because some studies have found a weak association between CPCs and fetal chromosome abnormalities.
I agree with Darkestlight. There are a lot of different options. One possibility is that these are "Choroid plexus cysts" which can be part of normal fetal brain development and often disappear spontaneously before 32 weeks gestation. Other types of cysts can be markers for other conditions.
Does your daughter have a follow-up with a specialist?
The fetal heart undergoes a considerable amount of growth very early in pregnancy. The most critical period of its development is between three and seven weeks after fertilization, when a simple heart tube assumes the shape of a four-chambered heart. In fact, the heart actually begins beating by the 22nd day of life.
My daughter's ultra sound shows appropriate constant brain development but always with a 10 day lag. This 10 day lag has been consistent with each ultra sound. Will the brain eventually "catch up" or does this indicate a significant delay or the potential for a developmental disability. Each doctor reading the ultra sound continues to assure her that the brain is in the "average range" and there is nothing to worry about. Ventricules are proper size.
re full of folic acid (critical to fetal brain and nervous-system development) and vitamin B6 (which might help ease morning sickness).
3. Eggs: they deliver one of the best sourxes of protein, a key building block of baby's cells.
4. shrimp: these swimmers are a low-mercury source of healthy omega-3 fats, vital to your little one's brain and eye growth.
5. low-fat greek yogurt: you'll typically get more protein than regular yogurt and bone-building calcium.
I guess maybe someone could give me a better understanding but as far as i know in a true blighted ovum the yolk doesnt even appear? so the fact that you first couldnt see a yolk and now you can i would still take as a positive at this point...
Just curious are you 4 weeks 4 days based on your first day of your last period? im just wondering because usually the gestational sac can be seen at approx 5 weeks, the yolk sac appears at approx. 5.5-6 weeks, fetal pole is around the 5.5 -6.
Some brain cysts arise in uterus like arachnoids cyst, dermoid, epidermoid cyst also due to abnormality in brain development, pineal cysts grow on pineal gland in fetal stage or puberty, cysts caused due to tumors, secondary arachnoid cysts etc. It is difficult to comment on the type of a cyst on an MRI though the location can provide some idea. This would be diagnosed only on excision and pathological evaluation.
No its not especially in the first trimester. Rapid development of babies major organs, brain and spinal cord happen in the first trimester. I hear some women have a small glass while pregnant personally I wouldnt but if you were to you should wait at least until the middle of the second trimester. Ask your doctor. It is currently not recommended that any alcohol be taken in while pregnant since FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome) is not completely understood on when and how it all happens.
m 6 weeks pregnant at the moment and i thought everything was going find until i got a call from my hospital telling me they needed to schedule me for an earlier appointment because when reviewing my ultrasounds they saw a problem with the fetus development. does anyone have any idea what this can mean? I would really appreciate it if you can help.
