Went to see the consultant on Tuesday for my general 32 week apt, and when they measured me I was 32 weeks......!!!!! not a problem there you think..but as I have been measuring 2 weeks ahead at every appointment I thought I should query this?........So...................
They decided to send me off to the scan dept for a growth scan just incase, and the lady measured everything and all was well right size for 32 weeks 2 days ect all bits present ect........

A BIG BLACK MASS IN BABYS TUMMY
Whats that I say.................................Not knowing even what I was bloody looking at?
AHHHHH she said we need to refer you to another hospital for a detailed scan.............PANIC, so they arranged for us to go to KINGS Collage, the very next day which made me panic even more, they suspected our baby had POLYCYSTIC CYSTS on its kidney, as per the referal letter they give you to take, which we duly riped open when you get outside!!!!!!
Went home and did no more then look it up on the NET VERY VERY BAD MOVE..................it was all over our lovley baby was going to die within a month of being born......I sobbed all night and did not sleep.
So the next day came and with slug eyes we went off to Kings, after 1 1/2 hours of lying on the couch, and seeing 3 doctors they confirmed our baby does NOT have PC but has MUlticystic cysts, a different thing all together not fatel, but baby will only have function of one kidney, we may get lucky and get 10 % but not sure till after babys born.
But baby is well and growing fine nothing eles wrong they just treat with antibiotics to stop any infection when baby is born.They then scan baby every month to make sure the damaged kidney shrinks and disapears over time.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo huge relife from us, and we also got to see what it was, we are so happy to announce It's a BOY
weights about 4 10oz at the moment so a good size for a 32 weeker and has hair, althought pushed it a bit when I asked what color the hair was.Anyway all ended well, but I still have a headache that I have has since tuesday, so we are off to Devon tomorrow for a well earned rest for a week I just wanted to let you all know whats been going on.
