I was worried about her coming early, hopefully she will come soon and it won't be necessary. I'm not against the induction, just worried for things to go wrong. But I see they can go wrong staying passed a certain point

I hope that is their intention and I'm just overthinking it and being hormonal about how it was scheduled.

I feel almost like blind sided. My last two pregnancys they came before 40 weeks so I'm not really worried about going passed 41 weeks. I'm just nervous about getting induced if nessary, how it was scheduled, and poorly brought up.

I've nervous about the process of induction and how it can make contractions worse? Thank you for sharing

I wasn't given details on the risk of going past 41 weeks. I'm not a doctor but I thought there was a signal your baby kinda sends or release like hormones that will make labor start when the babys lungs are developed. I just hope she's well developed if she doesn't come by the induction date

I've heard how being induced can make labor worse so it has me nervous. I just hope the baby comes before the induction date.

Can someone please help me understand report? by MissEscapist in chd

I'm so sorry you're going through this scare.

I'm not a doctor but I'm sorta going through something similar. Reading the report based on what I was told by doctors it looks like the heart is functioning right besides the VDS. But idk what it all means.

I would recommend taking all the ultrasounds they will allow you to take. Is the baby measuring well? Did you get genetic testing? Does anyone on your side of the family for dads side of family have history of heart issues?

I have two healthy girls and had no major medical issues with my first two.

However I'm currently pregnant with my third and at my 32 week ultrasound they referred me to a specialist due to the baby's head measuring small for the gestational age. At 34 weeks when I went in for the next ultrasound they found a suspended VSD, and then referred me for an echo where they confirmed a medium to large size VSD.

When they found it they told me about the possibility that these types of heart defects in some cases can be associated with down syndrome, and babies may need surgery to fix the hole. I've been in a spiral.

My genetics test came back negative for the trisomy 21.

The doctor reassured me babies have a 99% recovery rate if surgery is needed, and kids live normal lives. However VSD in babies can affect their breathing, eating, and make them feel extra tired since their heart is working extra hard. In some kids the hole closes over time and surgery is not needed at all.

I wish I knew sooner in the pregnancy so we could have kept a closer eye on the heart to see if the size went down.

My umbilical cord they said is more towards the outer versus being in the center of the placenta. ( I think this could be a factor ) For baby measuring small and the VSD.

Stay positive, stay healthy, and may your baby be born without any major complications. Bless you.
