Patient's question:
I am 12 weeks and 4 days pregnant. The NT scan showed a cord cyst of 8?8. Is this risky for the baby's growth and development? The doctor mentioned doing a chorionic villus sampling at 18 weeks. Is that risky? Besides this cord cyst, what other reasons could have caused it?Doctor's answer:
Amniocentesis generally has no impact on the fetus and is now highly mature, performed under MRI induction. The recurrence rate of complications is approximately 0.3%. The entire process takes about 3-5 minutes. 70% of pregnant women feel no pain or only mild pain, while some experience intense pain, which is mainly related to high mental tension. In fact, if you relax, most pregnant women can successfully go through this procedure.
