Is Smoking Harmful When Diagnosed With Antenatal Choroid Plexus Cysts?
Can smoking further affect an isolated fetal choroid plexus cyst? I cut back from a pack and a half pre-pregnancy to 2 or 3 a day by 20 weeks and found out just yesterday (20+3) that the baby has a 1cm CPC. This is obviously a stressful situation until our level 2 scan in a few weeks.
