Thanks for posting this! I just turned 28 and am due October 3. We had our 19 week scan yesterday, found out it was a baby girl, and every bone and organ measured right on track. When we got to the appt. with my midwife an hour later, she came in to tell us they found a CPC on our baby's brain. I IMMEDIATELY started crying, and she asked if there were any genetic defects, specifically trisomy 18 in our family. I know this is SO rare for a 28 year old woman, but I am SO afraid. I want to get another Ultrasound to make sure all is okay, but I also want to wait past 24 weeks (probably between 26-28 weeks) to make sure its gone! I just don't want to worry anymore. Any advice?? Should I see a genetic counselor for the next ultrasound?
