My baby has Gastroschisis

[Jadecarn]

I found out on christmas eve that my baby will be born with gastroschisis. Im 19 years old and Iv'e been to specialist appointments and have ultrasounds ever 4 weeks, iv'e been told i will have bub 3 weeks early and its my choice weather to have a natural birth or c-section. I'm now 27 weeks and and starting to really worry. Just wondering if there was anyone else who's had the same complications and weather you chose to have a natural birth and also a little bit more about what to expect.

I'm sorry you've had worrying news about your LO . There is a section of this forum for gestational complications: https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/gestational-complications/ if you post in there hopefully someone will be able to share their experiences with you.
Oh congratulations on your pregnancy, and welcome to BnB

Sorry to hear that. I saw on One Born Every Minute a lady who gave birth to a baby with that condition. As soon as she had the baby, I think they took him away for surgery and he was fine after x

There's a blog https://www.shefollowsthesun.com/ written by a mom. Her oldest son was born with Gastroschisis. She has a good bit of info on her blog and detailed posts about her son's NICU stay.
