Could Low Lying Placenta And CPC On Baby's Brain Be A Matter Of Concern?

I just had my 20 week ultrasound and was told I have a low lying placenta and a CPC was found on the baby's brain. My quad screen came back 1:4000 for DS and 1:2000 for Tri 18. I was told that other than that, there were no other findings on the sono, but was referred to a level II sono this Friday. Given the risk factors, should I be worried about a problem with the baby?

Hi
I have gone through your complaints.you are 20 wks pregnant and low lying placenta,nothing to worry.as gestational age increases placenta goes up.but now take care.avoid journeys & excess work.regarding CPC ,choroid plexus cyst is considered as aneuploidy marker for underlying serious anomalies,but it is no more significant.it can be some times isolated finding.dont worry.go for level 2 scan for assessing anomalies.in your case nothing is much expected regarding anomalies.
Thank you
