Newborn hearing screen failed

Hey all!
So my son is 4 weeks old. We were finally able to do his newborn hearing screen today. They told us that he didn’t pass and they believe he has hearing loss. We have been referred to have additional tests and also to meet with ent to make sure that there is no fluid ect causing the problem. Has anyone else had any experience with this? I have cried all day and am not handling this news well.

My newborn failed his hearing screen. We went back a few weeks later and he did end up passing but had many hearing issues for the next couple years due to fluid and ear infections

Omg! I had CS with my second baby. She failed the hearing test after birth and by the time we were discharged in 3 days she passed.
They said if she failed it weeks for the fluid to drain before another testing.
I know how you feel the second I was so nervous on the hospital bed until she announced the result.
I’m praying for you and this will pass away soon.

if it turns out he doesn’t pass it at all and he has hearing loss i don’t know sign language very well but we can learn together! i’m sorry you and little one are going through this. hopefully it’s as above said in comments.

I had to get tubes in my ear I failed it after 2 months

My second son failed his hearing test at birth and then 5 months later was diagnosed as Deaf. Feel free to reach out! It’s not as horrible as it seems in the moment. I was devastated but thankfully I got connected with some amazing people in the deaf community and now I regret ever being so heartbroken.

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.

Anyone getting a private scan at exactly 6weeks

I just wanna know my baby is actually there after losing my first at 5w
