I am 28 weeks pregnant. This week we had been told that our baby girl has got excessive fluid on her brain. The fluid was discovered 2 weeks ago and was very little but in 2 weeks it has gone up very very high. Now it is 15ml on both sides of the brain. Doctors have told us that when fluid is more than 12ml, there are more chances of disabilities and complications. Our next step is to do an MRI in Queen Charlotte’s hospital (it s where they sent us). Some doctors think that there is a part of the brain missing. Will get more info from the fetal MRI. We feel so devestated as we really dont know what decisions to take. We have the following options:
1.Have an injection to help baby’s kidneys mature and then have early birth. 2.Let nature take its course.3.Termination
Is it fair for the baby to come into this world and live in HELL?
If we let nature take its course, there is a risk of a lot more complications as fluid will continue increasing and cause damage on brain.
PLEASE HELP

I'm sorry Angelinheaven. I have no answers. But, definitley wait on the MRI results. My sincere prayers and hugs go out to you and your family. My heart aches for you.

Angel - Sorry you have to make this decision I'd wait for the MRI & further medical advice before deciding too. I really hope baby is ok

 

[BlossomJ]

Snow - I just guessed on you baby pool, but it messed up the delivery date & now I can't change it....please don't freak out, it was meant to say 27th December not 7th!

 

[BlossomJ]

Snow - I've just put a duplicate guess on there with the date changed!

Babyhopeful, sorry for your loss, I hope you & your family are doing ok xx

Sorry to hear that Angel, I would say as the others ladies have to wait for the MRI, did they say when that would happen?

I get tired of people asking me if I've eaten, or if they need to take me out to eat. Of course I eat people. It's like a huge blow when somebody says crap only because I'm doing the best I can and if only they understood how uncomfortable I am. For one in dealing with contractions off and on, them my belly actually burns/hurts it's apparently stretching but I don't see how. I am constantly punched or head butted in the bladder. The burning in my throat is outrageous. I hate heartburn. people really should keep their comments to themselves!!

Your post made me giggle, I didn't know you we're a canibal!!!!

 

[mellywelly]

Angel, I'm so sorry for what is happening, as the others said, wait for the MRI results before making a decision.

Babyhopful, I'm sorry for your loss, hope you and your family are supporting each other!

Angel - I am so sorry that you are having to go through this. Hopefully you will get some more information from the MRI scan which will help make the situation clearer. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Grrr, I am so tired. Was really looking forward to my extra hour in bed (the clocks went back an hour here in the UK this morning), but stupid neighbours upstairs decided to run their washing machine at 2am and this makes out bathroom door shake horrendously and that woke me up. Then as I was trying to get to sleep DH keep prodding me awake cause apparently I was heavy breathing and he couldn't get to sleep. After a couple of prods, I couldn't sleep either and baby was having a party in my stomach and no matter which way I lay I felt short of breath. Then when I finally did get to sleep about 5am I had three nightmares one after the other. I am so not in a good mood this morning and we have just discovered we have nothing in for breakfast and I'm starving.

Haha. I can guarantee tht day would be wrong. I'm not going past my due date.

Bahahahahahaha. I usually go back and rerread and have to edit things. I've got this bad habit of "text" writing while typing or writing in real life. Skipping words and punctuation. And then of course my best friend autocorrect.

That is hilarious!

i'll get onto the baby pools asap, i want to look and read everyones info and try and do my best to make an informed decision before i just go throwing around figures.

I'm wondering if anyone wants to change their due dates on mine now that i am having all these BP problems!! i mean who knows... maybe i'll be induced early. lol

I did think that, there is definitely a good chance you will deliver before your due date now. I know certain conditions worsen the further into pregnancy you get. Like my gd was harder to control the last few weeks. I'll have to think of a new due date for you and add just the new date.

Although if u go early then baby may be smaller. I'm gonna have to do some "research"

 

[Soniamillie01]

Lilah - I had a similar night to you I think, I was so looking forward to that extra hour in bed but that went out the window completely breakfast on hubby sounds good to me and then an afternoon in bed x

[Lilahbear]

Well hubby did take me out for breakfast which was good. We then went food shopping and now he is unpacking it while I lie in bed eating haribo! I hope I sleep better tonight or this coming week is going to be tough.
