last few weeks

The ultrasounds have noted that the stomach and intestines are sitting up in the chest cavity where her left lung should sit. By doing this her heart has been pushed right over to the right side of her chest cavity and has caused her left lung with little room to grow.

The longer Skyla stays inside of me the better it will be for her as it gives more time for her lungs to grow and to function. Thats what it comes down to really, how big her lungs are and how well they function.

Growth wise, Skyla is growing ok for a baby with CDH. At my 28wk scan she was measuring about 1080gms.

My next visit is on the 18th September. Until then, take care everyone. Please keep us in your thoughts.
