Level 2 U/S 19w2d

All of their organs looked great the NT fold was a good measurement and they were right on track size wise as well. Baby A however has a choroid plexus cyst in his brain where the spinal fluid is made. It isn't actually a cyst it is just a gap that hasn't closed. They told us that 95% of these close on their own but it doesn't impair brain function if it doesn't. They would be more concerned if our blood work for Trisomy 21 had come back positive. The blood work could not test for Trisomy 18 because it is a twin pregnancy. Since all of the other measurements came back on track she said there was nothing to worry about but they have to tell us because it was there. We go back in a month for another big ultrasound to look at the boys and monitor my cervix but I will continue to see my OB every two weeks. Oh, my cervix looked great BTW. Whew.

They are still 100% boy and baby B was the one really showing off this time. The u/s tech said WOW he sure is a boy. hahaha. When we were leaving my husband said it was so impressive because it was morning time. You know... morning wood. Oh my husband is a funny one.

I have posted a few of the U/S pictures in the tab for your viewing pleasure. Of course if you are not in a good place I understand, and you need to take care of yourself first.

  1. ha! Your husband's joke did make me chuckle! I'm so glad to hear all your measurements were on track. I know it's probably hard, but try not to worry about the cyst. If your Dr's aren't worried, then you shouldn't be either.

    Time is flying, isn't it?

  2. I recommend you have the HARMONY test; it is the only test validated for twins as far as accuracy is concerned. That way you will have a peace of mind

    1. The MaterniT21 test is pretty accurate except for the trisomy 18. We feel pretty good since everything else has tested on track. It wouldn't change our pregnancy and we would love him the same so we will probably just play it out. But thank you for the suggestion.
