I posted this in a different thread yesterday but I'm putting it here also:



My wife is 27+5 & today we found out our baby has a very large Choroid plexus cyst on his brain.

(actually discovered from a kidney stone scan a few days ago - she received the call today)


I had never heard of these cysts until today. I know our boy's cyst is very large (1.8 cm) & has it much later in pregnancy than normal...

I know the connection with Downs / Trisomy 18.

I was wondering if anybody has experienced this before. Good or bad.

Thanks

Chisox, I dont have any info to offer but wanted to let you know that I hope you and your beautiful wife are hanging in there!

Chisox,I'm not familiar with that type of cyst either, but I'll def be praying for you guys and your baby. H

Nicola, we are of course thinking of you and will def be thinking of you tomorrow. I know that will be very hard to get through Prayers still going out for you and your family.

Chisox, still praying for your family too. Hope you guys get some answers soon.

AFM, it was a long weekend. My hubby's uncle died Thursday, so we spent the weekend with his family. Def not the Mother's Day I was expecting, and it was exhausting emotionally. I also got to visit with my sister and her newborn baby Took newborn pics for her, which turned out great. Can't wait to get them printed and give them to her. Her baby is pretty sick right now, though. He has had elevated bilirubin levels since birth. He was hospitalized last week, released, but looks like he is going to get admitted again probably this week. They aren't sure what is causing it, so he may get transferred to a children's hospital about an hour from where she lives. I am really hoping they can figure out what is wrong soon, and get him treated. Poor little guy

Hope you all are doing well!

Hello all.

Nicola - I have been keeping you in my prayers. I can't even imagine how you are feeling right now. I know that your little angel is looking down on you and giving you sweet kisses as you sleep.

As for Power - I have not heard anything, but I have wondered about her. If anyone knows anything please do update.

Chisox - I am sorry for your news. Unfortunately I do not know anything about this condition, but I am obviously praying for you and your wife that all ends well with your baby.

 

[chisox35]

I know there has been a lot of bad news here (me included) but I did want to show a pic of my son from our scan last week.

27+5 (I hope the pic shows)

We are hoping & praying for the best! Next scan is June 6th.

I'm sorry I don't post here more often. I check out the thread multiple times a day but don't know what to say.

Hoping to get more updates from all of you!

Nicola - thinking of you and sending love and hugs x

Chisox - your son looks gorgeous! Hope you can carry on and enjoy the pregnancy with your wife. I don't know anything about the condition your son has but am sure whatever happens he will bring great joy to you both x

JD - sorry to hear about your bad news too. Hope your nephew is doing ok and your sister is coping x

AFM - well, we finally exchanged on our new house so moving in end of June. We've been renting for 4 years so will be lovely to have our own house and make it a proper family home. We're off to Italy next week too to have another look at our wedding venue and scope out some accommodation for guests next year. Will be our summer holiday with DD too so am hoping for a bit of chilling by the pool!
Baby boy is all good, think he is trying to escape some days as kicks the c**p out of me. Have my test for diabetes next week so hoping I pass this. I only put on 20 lbs with my DD and already put on nearly 30 with this one so not sure what test will say

Hope you all have a good week anyway and sending positive thoughts to you all

Chisox that scan is very sweey - i normally get quite freaked out by those 3D pictures but that one is tooo cute

 

[jd83]

Chisox, that's a really great 3d pic! They did one at my anatomy scan, but it printed so blurry that you couldn't even tell what it was supposed to be.

Sara, that's great news about the house! I am sure you are feeling relieved to know that you wil get to move in and get it ready before the baby comes

AFM, I talked to my sister yesterday and her baby seems to be doing better. His bilirubin levels are still high, but they have stopped rising (at least for now) and have stayed at a stable level for the past few days, so they think whatever was going on may be working itself out

I am feeling pretty good so far this pregnancy, aside from back pain and tailbone pain (still have that). But can't complain too much I'm def getting a little worried about weight gain too, I swore to myself I wouldn't let myself gain as much as I did with my son. But I am def losing the self control battle when it comes to dessert. lol. Cookies, ok. Cake, okay to that too. In the same meal, okay. lol. yum. I will regret it later, I am sure...lol. At least I passed my glucose test last week, so they can't tell me to stop eating cake! woohoo!

 

[KozmikKitten]

Hi people! Glad to see all the updates coming in.
Chisox, great pic! Love seeing pics of those babies!

jd..I hear you about the weight gain! I know I have stayed pretty well on track with the "normal" weight gain...but the numbers still really freak me out! When I go over the next threshold of "10 pound" category, I know I will lose my head! But I have to keep telling myself its normal to gain weight!

 

[bizzy27]

Chisox - your picture is sooo sweet.. I love it.

Jd - Glad to hear your sister and baby are looking good so far. Thats great news

AFM - well nothing to complain about physically.. Except maybe that baby scares me too often for my taste. He has these moments where is is VERY active and I can feel just about every movement/hiccup and then moments like right now..where I feel NOTHING... I get to the point where I drink something sweet and eat just to make him move..and still nothing... UG .. I hate his lazy days..they put mommy in a frenzy

[BabyBumpLove]

I have been coming on here every day, but their has been so much sad news that I am unsure what to say. I certainly don't want to celebrate my little millstones. It feels like I am being disrespectful.
