Thank you for sharing. I am due 9/26/09 and just had my 20 week u/s on Friday and was told the same thing. Because I just turned 30 two months ago, they had to tell me about it because over 30, your odds of Trisomy 18 go up if they find a cyst. She said they don't usually say anything if your odds are 1:1000 or less, but because I am 30, my odds are 1:909, so she had to tell me. I said "So if I had gotten pregnant 2 months earlier, you wouldn't have told me because I would have been 29 years old?" and she said "Exactly". Nice. Anyhoo - I know it's probably nothing because it was a level 2 ultrasound and everything else looked perfect. But way to scare me Dr.!!
