Cystic Hygroma (large NT@12 weeks)--not a good scan--Updated :)

[KendraNoell]

Ugh I just hope you don't have to push a 10 lb baby out! Do you have gestational diabetes or did you just get lucky and go from a baby who wasn't supposed to be healthy at ALL to a completely healthy baby with a healthy appetite! Lol!

looks like it's the latter! the doctors kept asking me then go back to my GD test and compliment me on how wonderful my sugar levels were

my husband and I are both partially polish, i'm a huge mix of other things, he's got a lot of scottish in him and I think we are just meant to make large, possibly stout babies!

I don't care how enormous he is as long as he is a happy & healthy little dude and i can't wait to go back and tell all my genetic councilors and the doom and gloom doctor about his arrival. 15% chance of survival my ass!

ooooh i would love to get a baby announcement and send it to that first doctor with "here's my turner's syndrome baby you told me i'd be having" written on it . Dick!

Oh I'm sure weight is the last thing you're worried about now but all I know is if they tell me I'm having a damn near 10 lb baby I'm telling them to skip the vaginal birth and go straight for the c-section... ouch!

 

[gigglebox]

lol yeah, it's a concern of mine for sure...but I just have to hope that my lady bits can handle it! i really, really don't want to have to have a c-section if I can avoid it. i understand it may be enevitable but i don't want to be out of commission too long and I know that with a c-section, i will be...at least a lot longer than with a vaginal birth.

ANYWAY...how are YOU doing? How does it feel to be 32 weeks?! That was about when my body really started falling apart lol; hemmorhoids, stretch marks galore, heavy pelvis, swollen limbs...you name it. seemed to all hit me within about a week just around 32 or 33.

 

[KendraNoell]

Yeah I pretty much feel hit by a semi these days

It makes me so happy that you are doing so well - yet so sad at the same time. I was pushed and pushed to terminate at 4 months.. Because of a cystic hygroma.. And i did. On top of the septated cystic hygroma, i had a subchorionic hematoma. And whren they did my amnio, the liquid was suppose to come out clearish yellowish. Mine was black. All old blood. I have never regretted something so much in my entire life. That was inJanuary. I think about it every day. i hope nothing but the best for you.

 

[KendraNoell]

Do we have a baby yet?!?!

 

[Justagirlxx]

Just wanted to say congrats on the happy update I love hearing happy endings. Also I pushed out a 10lb 4 ounce baby with only a small internal tear! You can do it girl.

 

[KendraNoell]

No baby yet- she's posted on other threads today Now we got a comfortable bugger!

Wow Giggles that baby really grew huh? You must be so delighted lovely. xxx

 

[gigglebox]

Finally able to give an update!!! I'm currently in the hospital recovering from a c-section technically wasn't an emergency as I wasn't in the second stage of labor yet. My cervix wouldn't progress past 7cm, baby was showing signs of distress as was i (my BP kept dropping and my heart rate was speeding up in response to the medicine) so all and all they decided c-section was the way to go. the surgery was easy; recovering has sucked so far lol; but my little boy is here and healthy he is super cute and a little chubster. he ended up being 9lbs2oz and just shy of 21 inches long. He is already a daddy's boy! Daddy's super power is silencing any scream!

[gigglebox]

Thank you so much everyone. I am so, so unbelievably sorry for the poor people who commented on this post early (there were a couple of moms throughout these pages) who were in similar situations that did not turn out as well. Honestly, the support I receive through this thread has been great and I really really hope it can help someone else out.

Now, as requested...
