Pregnancy Info HOME

Kim - I have heard of that before happening to another woman where they seen a cyst but never mentioned anything until her next u/s while the nurse was doing it had said "it's gone" and when she asked "what's gone?" the nurse said "the cyst." Apparently this is very common. I had an appointment with my specialist and after having my triple screen blood test come back normal, I was told not to worry either....that this is common and they go away. I am now trying to put it out of my mind (I am 24 wks along) but of course there still is some worry and I think will be until the baby is in my arms. It sounds like your having twins? After hearing alot of information on these cysts and talking to people and searching the internet, they are commonly found in the second trimester. Most of the time they are nothing and go away. They are "soft" markers for trisomy 18 but only along with other markers. I am sure that your baby(s) will be fine and you have nothing to be worried about. My friend knows a couple that have 2 year old twins and they were told that both babies had multiple cysts....they went away later in the pregnancy and they have very healthy, active boys:) I think one good thing about you not being told, is that you did not have to worry throughout your pregnancy about it. I hated that for a week I could not eat or sleep. I had felt the excitement had been taken away from me....now I am thinking positive and taking care of myself and my baby, because more than anything that is what is important! Take care and good luck:)
