I had my morphology scan at 19.1 weeks. Baby is all looking well, other then she has two Choroid Plexus Cysts (not too big of a deal, my second son had one aswell). What has really concerned me is that along with the cysts she is overall measuring a week behind, her head is measuring two weeks behind, <2%! My OB and GP have both said the results are normal, and I'll be sent for another scan at 32 weeks to check the cysts and growth, but that's 12 looooong weeks away! Has anybody else experienced this? Am I overreacting? I can barely talk about her it just instantly upsets me!

A week behind is no big deal at all. Yes, you are over reacting. The measuring thing isn't an exact science just a guide.
They kept changing my due dates based on my sons size because he was all over the shop. One time he was behind, one time he was ahead, but mostly he measured behind.
It's no big deal at all. Doctors are extremely cautious if there was anything to be worried about it they would be ordering 1000s of more tests.
I've had 5 babies, every one measured the same as yours, all born perfectly healthy
My bubs head was measuring almost 3 weeks ahead. I would prefer to be in your shoes than mine, especially when everyone is saying its normal.
Yep! Sure have experienced this. Choroid plexus cysts and narrow head on scans throughout the pregnancy. Completely perfect, normal, beautiful, smart, healthy kid - she turned 5 today :) Sometimes scans are really unhelpful!
