Hi - I'm new here but when I saw your post I had to tell you that I was in exactly the same position with my first pregnancy - so I know how scary it can be! My daughter had multiple choroid plexus cysts at her 18 week ultrasound and I was absolutely petrified, but thankfully they (as in the vast, vast majority of cases) meant nothing and she is now a perfectly healthy 2 year old.

I found the choroid plexus cyst website which I referred to often throughout the rest of the pregnancy. There is a message board where lots of people post who are exactly the same position as you . . . it's really reassuring.

When I was told about the CPCs my midwives said that they are becoming 'quite fashionable these days' as ultrasound technology is developing so rapidly . . . but generally they could be considered about as significant as birthmarks. They also said that they hoped soon that they would stop putting them on ultrasound reports as it was flipping people out, mostly unnecessarily (especially when there are no other signs of an abnormality!).


I hope this helps and good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.
