PLEASE HELP GIRLS!!!!

I had my ultrasound results given today and when I had gotten into the room with the RN she revealed some news....My baby has a SOLITARY CHOROID PLEXUS CYST on the left that measures 5 mm. I AM FREAKING OUT! This is associated with downs and Trisomy 18...I am clear on what Downs is and I will Love this baby no matter what, however I pray to God that this is not the case.
Can someone fill me in on what the other is\?
Any other ladies had this and then baby be fine without any defects or anything?
I have a follow up ultrasound on the 20th and had blood work done for ips and maternal serum.
Please keep us in your prayers....I am so devestated right now.
Hoping all you ladies and doing Great :)

The Nucheal fold? Yes it is a marker for DS. Good thing everything looks great!

Please dont worry about the "DS" and Trisomy 18 just yet, Just think of it as a cyst for now. :) Cysts usually resolve on there own, and dont pay any attention to what it "could" be a marker of... Chances are your little baby is perfectly healthy, Wait for the 20th in depth sono and go from there.... :) Take care.

And i know worrying will happen but remember they didnt find any other markers. Only that cyst..... Im sorry worry during pregnancy is always going to be there.....

No, it said everything else looked normal, except they were unable to get a good look at his heart becasue of the position of him. Nucheal fold etc were good, isnt that another marker for DS?

Hii, Ill be upfront, i dont know anything about cysts, Although i read a lot about them. MANY many cysts seem to resolve on their own, also were there any markers implying that baby is unhealthy besides this cyst? They can tell on ultrasound certian markers for DS......

Wishing you the best of luck. I cant imagine the worry you must feel hopefully a specialist will clear up a few things for you!
