Dilated left lateral ventricle

My twin A has an enlarged left ventricle. Does anyone have an experience with this? I’ve looked it up and what it could mean/result in but now I’m just going to be paranoid until I see the high risk doctor and have them look at it on the ultrasound & really tell me what’s going on. I guess I’m just looking for peace of mind.

Hey, my twin was diagnosed with a heart defect but a different one. He had TGA (transposition of the great arteries). He had open heart surgery at 3 weeks old. I totally understand your position and worry. It is impossible not to. What have they said for you? From what I know this is fixable.
Feel free to send me a private message if you want to chat more.
There are so many Facebook groups for parents of children with Herat defects, I suggest you look there because otherwise you can get a lot of misinformation from the internet. My advice is try not to worry to much, your baby is in the best place while inside you so make sure to look after yourself, and trust the doctors. They know what they are doing. Best of luck to you all ❤️

what they told me it’s something in the brain and it could mean spinal fluid isn’t flowing from it properly? It’s so hard to understand medical talk 😭 I’m waiting for the high risk dr to call me & schedule a more thorough ultrasound 🥹

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)


I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol


What are your symptoms?
