Gastroschisis

(gas.tros.chi.sis) Support and Resources

I’m 18 and 32 weeks pregnant with a baby who has gastroschisis. When I was around 12-16 weeks I was getting my ultrasound, I noticed they kept looking at this one particular spot on his stomach.
She didn’t say anything at the time, but they had me go back in the room and wait. Three doctors came in and showed me a picture of my babies stomach and I noticed a bulge coming from the abdomen. They explained to me what it was, I just went blank.

All I thought was ” What did I do wrong?”…”Is he in pain?” and etc. I researched it and found a study that Oxford journals did about gastroschisis, and I found out that it could be linked to acetametaphine (the pregnant womans tylenol) and also decongestants. I thought back when i didn’t know I was pregnant that I had taken both. Is there anyone who also took those meds?
