I know they can be off but with my other two being small i cant help but worry. They told me ds2 was around six pounds and two days later i had him and he was only five pounds six ounces so much smaller. Because he was small he developed three hernias one was an umbilical hernia the other two were in his groin. The first one they just missed cutting his sperm tube if we hadnt caught it they would have had to. He was three months old when they removed it then the umbilical hernia went away within he week nine months later he had to have a second hernia in his groin removed just from the opposite side. I did research and its most common in low birth weight and african american babies. I cant go through that again it was so hard to see him like that after surgery at three months old cause he had to stay the night i was so afraid to touch him with the iv i had oh stay with him cause i had ds1 at home and things. I am afraid of complications because of past events and the saying goes the past has a tendency to repeat itself and with the complications this pregnancy i am just beyond fearful.
I hadn't realised hernias were linked to low birth weight. My 1st girly had an umbilical hernia as well, thankfully hers was minor and treated easily at home. Quite happy we were in Holland actually, as when I've mentioned it to the English midwives they don't have a clue what I'm on about as it's not treated at home here apparently, or at least not the way they did it in Holland (they used silver nitrate sticks)
Any May babies born yet?
Even though I'm only 36 weeks I'm anxiously awaiting labor! This is going to be a long 4 weeks.
Any signs of impending labor ladies?
Not that I'm aware of! No-one has come forward in this thread as of yet anyway
She checked last week because I was having the group B strep test done so I'm not sure she will check this week or not. I kind of hope so, it's always nice getting info
