Hi @Courtney we're the lumps noticeable immediately after birth?

My LO had 2 lumps, I had a Kiwi delivery (baby had to be vacuumed out). We assumed the 2nd lump was a first failed attempt at using the vacuum, but the gp suggested it could have been there before baby was delivered. We have a referral to the hospital to have a scan.

The lumps were a bit like Mickey mouse ears at the top of the head, but as he is growing, the lumps are less obvious as the swelling went down with the vacuumed area and the bit in between the lumps has filled in a bit.

Perhaps talk to your GP too?
