Week 20 detailed scan

Last Friday 6th feb was a torture for me, the detailed scan result was not so ideal and I have been so worried. I simply cannot focus on anything and keep crying until the next scan which was on last wed 11th feb by the dept head.
The 1st detailed scan result show 1 spot in the brain and 1 spot in the liver.
The spot in the brain is called choroid plexus cyst which is getting common in pregnancy. Usually it will disappear by 3rd trimester. The rare case is that it will be down symdrone T18. It is quite harmless by itself. A harmony test can done to test for the cause.
Echogenic nodule in fetal liver is the term that my Gynae told me. It is a white spot of 8mm big. The biggest worry is that it may be cause by infection and can spread to the brain causing liver and brain damage. The way to find out the cause is to take a blood test to test for cytomegalo virus and toxoplasma.
I took the blood test immediately after the scan result at Gynae clinic. My mind was in a loss. Pray to god is the only thing that I can do.
1st good news comes early on monday from the clinic. Blood test came out normal. I did not have the virus.
The best news was through the 2nd detailed scan. The cyst in the brain has disappeared by itself and the spot in the liver got smaller to 5.8mm after 5 days.  Doctor said most likely it will disappear by it own. It is ultimate good news for me.
All is good and nice. Baby is growing well.  At week 20 and 3 days,  he weigh 366g. He gained 30g more from the 1st scan. I can feel his movement more now. I will enjoy every move he make.

Charis is 7 mth big! So far she is able to • Sit well • Crawl well • Lunges forward from sitting position to grasp an object • Feeds herself with a cracker • Drink well from sippy cup • Recognises names & faces • Begins to understand meaning of “No” • Imitate what we do • Stand up while holding on to something • Trying to walk with support • Sleep on her own without rocking or patting her to sleep • Say mama when angry • Play peek-a-boo Tried feeding Charis Banana Puree on Monday Banana Puree Bananas are full of slow-release sugars which provide sustained energy. They make a perfect baby recipe as they are portable and come in their own easy to peel packaging. They are also good for the treatment of diarrhoea and constipation. Method: Peel a small banana and mash with a fork. During the first stages of weaning, add a little milk if necessary to thin down the consistency and add a familiar taste. However, Charis doesn't like it at all. Yuke! Refuse to try! Trying to escape from ...
