Possible Anencephaly

[DreamSpell333]

I just came from the doctors and they think that my baby has anencehpaly, which is a neural defect of the cpehalic part of the brain. I have to go for another SUPER high tech ultrasound to make sure 100% that, thats what it is. They are pretty sure,but want to be positive. So either way if it is what they say, my baby is going to DIE :( I am soo upset. WHY? we found out it's a girl,and was soo excited about having her,and now i dont know what to do . I feel like my heart has been shattered into tiny peices. If you all could just send us energy i would appreciate it. I want then to be 100% WRONG, but it's not looking that way.. They said it was nothing i did, i've done everything right. Eaten right, exercised, taken good care of myself,taken my vitamins. My mother in law had stents put in, in december and she feels mamybe she should have dies and the baby would have lived :( but it's not her fault and we wouldnt want that to happen. I just cant stop crying

Thank You! :) I am trying, it's not easy though.. I didnt sleep much at all last night. I want to know NOW. Im hoping my doctor calls today and gets things going, i cant wait much longer...

[DreamSpell333]

What makes this even worse for me,is that before i got pregnant, i had dreamt that we had a baby that was severely retarded. So this diagnosis is really scaring me... Then i dreamt after that the baby was healthy and i was holding her but i dont know if that dream will come to be but i surely hope so. **praying for a miracle**

Doctors called and they want to have me go for bloodwork today at the hospital. Im just waiting for them to call back...:hrmm:

Edit : Update : My doctor decided now NOT to do the bloodtest because im TOO far along. I go for the ultrasound monday afternoon at 1:30. It's going to be hard to get through the weekend..

I have been posting in family and Parenting,but i know alot of you dont always go there ,so it hought i'd update here also.

I had Olivia Lynn on febuary 2nd, 2006 at 5:42 am. She lived for 2 hours and 8 mins. She passed in my arms. I had lots of time to spend with her,the nurses were great about us having our privacy.She is so beautiful,and is resting peacefully now. I believe she is with my Grandmother,and will be well taken care of.I miss her so much and have cried off and on. I get very emotional over the tiniest things..
For anyone who hasnt read all the posts.. Olivia had a neural tube defect called, Anenchephaly. Her brain and top of her skull never developed when it was suppose to.. The doctors told us we didnt cause this.It happens at around 3 weeks (24 days to be exact), and we wouldnt have even known i was pregnant then. Im on folic acid (4mgs) a day, they believe folic acid helps prevent these defects... We both want to try again come 3 months. I know I might not get pregnant right away,and im ok with that. it wont replace my angel,but hopefully I will eventually have a healhty baby to fill my aching arms... I have so many people giving us advice on what to do,and I do appreciate it,but if my husband and I both feel ready were going to try again... So much has happened int he past 2-3 months to us,first with my mother in laws bad heart,and now losing olivia.. We need something Good to happen,something to look forward to. To our future. We cant forget our past... I love olivia soo much. I did EVERYTHING right during my pregnancy,just to get robbed,and I want whats rightfully mine/ours! :(
