Im 21 weeks tomorrow. Had an ultrasound on the 5th and doctor said she found a light marker on my babies brain called CPC. Overall scan went well no abnormalities, but im nervous about cpc indicating trisomy18. Im hoping it goes away! Has anyone heard of this or is dealing with this problem? Im a ball of nerves! Have a genetic screening on the 12th. First trimester screening was neg for trisomy18 now this light marker...

I read it's common and usually goes away, especially if everything else looked fine. They found one at my 17 week scan, I go on the 18th to verify if everything is ok. I had blood work done also. I'm sure babies always get these and are fine but because technology is so advanced we see them more now. Good luck.
