Thats the article that I first discovered when I first joined minti and it was more informative then some of the info on the net..THANKS

Just wanted to add, they said id have a small also because i was only 5 pounds full term, and they also told me id have him early. Well they were wrong, he was a healthy 7 pound, and he was 5days overdue!

Hi Dannii17,

I'm very glad all is well with your son. And I look forward to getting the link.They (doctors/midwives) havent told me much of anything at the moment. Until I found out about this I had plans to be in and out (fast food service - lol). After being in Hospital with my first for 4 days, I never wanted to do that again I hate hospitals. I was in and out with my daughter, in at 5pm had her at 1.55am on Tuesday - hence the name MARDI and out the doors with her at 10am that morning. Was planning on doing that again as its Christmas and I hate being away from the family, not sure my sons happy about not going away this Xmas either, but finding all this out I'm wondering if I should stay to make sure all the tests are done straight away. But still fingers crossed all is going to go well and this is just another test in life. Thanks for the reply, Cheryl.

Thank you kseers for your reply I'm not sure how to minti mail yet but I learn pretty quickly. So if need be will mail you. Glad everything turned out good for you. Fingers crossed. Cheers Cheryl.

Thanks mom2jedd,

Your posts have been very helpful. I like to have enough information as to what to expect, and to know what to ask for. I also have had doctors not do as they should in the past and all it does is create more pain and problems for your child. Some thing I wish to avoid if possible this time round. It was bad enough that this would have been discovered at my 20wk scan (I am now in wk30). I have had 1 appointment with a doctor and 2 appointments with midwives one of which informed me 3wks ago (not happy about being told so long after it was discovered). I have taken some info from the other post and will from this one too.

I really hope things go well for your son and your family as Im not sure how I would cope, although you take things in your stride as its your family.. I guess Im just preparing for the worst but hoping for the best. Good luck, Cheryl. 

They caugth mine at my 16 weeks scan. After that I had quite a few scans because I had gestational diapbetes. so I had alot of them....LOL and his heart still was not caught.

I deliever 14 days early by induction. They thought I was only going to be 5 days early. The scan tech was wrong on my due date. :(

Jedd was 5lbs 15oz a tiny peanut. That is 2.3 Kilos. He was 19in long. They were also way wrong on the weight. They told me he would be around 7.5 pounds on the scan a couple of days before I delievered.

Thye did confirm the 2 vessel cord after I delivered. They showed it to me but I had NO idea what I was looking at....LOL

It's not something I woudl do a ton of worring about KWIM. As long as the scans of everythign look normal I"d take it one day at a time.

Not really worrying, just dont want to be floored by anything. That way I can hold things together no-matter what.
