scared
I am pregnant with my second son, first son completely healthy no health issues. I found out when I was 20 weeks that my baby only has 3% chance of surviving, they call it Potter syndrome. have to keep my baby alive since I was 6 weeks along he is growing and his heart is so strong. This pregnancy has been physically mentally and emotionally painful. I am 29 weeks and the date is getting closer I am so scared what might happen. I have to travel to San Francisco to give birth to give my son a fighting chance of survival. has anyone been through something similar??
Potter syndrome is no kidney, damage kidney no bladder. damage bladder, some babies don't even have a urine track or anus. My Dr said we should terminated there's no fluid since 20 weeks and his kidneys are damaged and his urine tract is blocked... but I couldn't do it... probably will not.... birth..... I'm praying my son will he's been fighting and going when the doctor said he wouldn't since I was 6 weeks along with him in surgically remove him fr due to complication.
