Drs have actually begun to consider cpcs a normal part of fetal development (even if it's something they can't really explain) since they see them so often--more people's babies probaly have them then they realize, it just depends when scans are done. Like I said, If I had waited until 21 weeks to have my anatomy scan, they never would have found anything at all. Maybe you're not worried at all--and you don't need to be, but if you are, I didn't want the person's comments below to freak you out.
