Question for Dr. Montgomery

Hi, I just found out today (18wks preg) that my baby has a choroid plexus cyst and 2 echogenic foci in the heart.

I wasn't going to get an amnio due to the fact that I had 2 miscarriages previous to this pregnancy and I don't have any children. I'm 37.

I'm afraid of the miscarriage risk from amnio. I had a laparoscapy to remove endo. about 11 mos. ago. This whole preg. has been a very sensitive one. If I'm on my feet for any significant time (1hr. plus) I get backaches and pain in my uterus.

Do these things sound like they would put me at greater risk of miscarriage from an amnio?

I am so scared to make a decision and I think I need to make it fast because I'm 18 weeks.

I'm not sure how significant these markers are and what my chances of chromo abnormality is but I just don't know what to do.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am really messed up by this right now.

Thanks. Chris
