I've been told i have high fluid and could go into early labour, also due to baby not being able to engage im at risk of prolapsed cord has anyone else experienced this and can put my mind at ease? Just hoping my waters dont break until they bring me in at 39 wks for induction.
View 2 RepliesI went for my 20 week scan and they said they found too much fluid on the head but they didn't tell me what this means, they wouldn't tell me the sex of the baby either and they have referred me for an intense scan I was just wondering if anyone knows what this might be and if it is anything to worry about?
View 1 RepliesCurrently I'm 31 weeks pregnant.
I'm a hypothyroid patient since past 2 years and was on medication Thyroxine 50 mcg with regular GP.
However after I became pregnant and was tested for thyroid result were TSH 19 at week 7(thyroxin 100 mcg) and then TSH 12 at week 11 (thyroxine 125 mcg) adjusted by OB.
Thereafter I started referring to an endocrinologist who put me on thyronorm 150 mcg and my TSH was down to 2 at week 15. Subsequently monthly tests are showing normal range with regular follow-up and dosage adjustments.
From what I have been reading, I see that it should have been normalised in the first trimester itself as it affect's the baby's development. Can you please let me know if there's some tests that can be carried out asap (or new-born screenings) to know if baby has been negatively affected by this ? We want to ensure best possible care for baby once she is born so that it does not cause issues in later life.
I'm 20 weeks and i have no fluid around my baby they told me to get rid or go through 9 months but the baby has 1% Chance of breathing on its own is there anything i can do to get the fluid back into my system.

View 2 RepliesA $60 eye exam revealed swelling in the optic nerves that got me a referral an eye specialist, the eye specialist then told me I most likely have high pressure cerebral fluid that is causing the swelling and need a CAT scan to look for brain tumors, no brain tumors were found ....... but the cerebral fluid must be drained to prevent continuous swelling of the optic nerves that will cause separation & blindness.
The CAT scan cost me $1,000
The cerebral fluid draining cost me $1,700
The cerebral fluid draining required a large needle to puncture through the lumbar area into my lower spinal cords, as the lumbar area does not have 1 solid nerve as the upper portion, it is basically like spaghetti so there is NO risk of paralysis when done by professionals with a live X-ray machine to line up the needle between vertebra for safe insertion.
I don't know what measurement scale they used, but the pressure reading was above 40+. They told me normal pressure should be between 8 and 12.
They then drained the pressure to about 18
As I was walking out of the hospital, I had never in my life had such extreme mental clarity and excellent vision.
Shortly afterwards, I noticed that my normal clumsiness was gone that I had dealt with all my life.

Aggressiveness
too many to list
As I know all my life I was mentally slower than average until that procedure. It has been 1 1/2 years since then, and starting 2 months ago I noticed diminished capacity slowly creeping up as before, as I probably need the procedure done again and don't have the money to do it.I realized that if this high cerebral pressure would have been detected as a child, I could have gotten a better education if it had been corrected.
I've heard u get the symptoms that u had in the first trimester come back in the third. Does this always happen? I've had a very easy pregnancy so far. My first trimester I had very sore breasts and was really tired and that was about it. Now I'm 29 wks and feel just fine other than my back aches. Does everyone's symptoms come back like first trimester? What symptoms did u notice?
