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.
So fast, Kolby is 11 month old now. 1 month more and he will be 1 year old. At 11 month old, he is doing well though he is rather small build compared to his peers. Remember he was sick for a week, after since then, he has become extra more sticky to me to the extent that I cannot be out of his sight. He used to be ok when I asked Charis or hubby to look after or play with him while I do housework. Now, NO WAY! He will crawl or move toward me if he hears that I ask Charis or hubby to come over to my side. Oh dear, I was so shocked when he did it. We experienced a few times with Charis, and he really fast hand fast leg crawl to me and hug me like a koala bear. Sometimes I wonder is it because I latch him always. Hubby said Kolby only recognize me as his milk machine, but I think Kolby simply love me too much~~ At 11 month old he can do quite a few things: Kiss goodbye Wave goodbye Say mama, jiejie, baba, nehneh, bird bird Listen to instruction like ...
