Gastroschisis

I am Tracey’s mom… I have been a quiet member here for a
while…. I wanted to let everyone know that what I thought was a
normal ultrasound and prenatal visit yesterday turned out to be Isabella’s birthday! Isabella Marie was delivered at 5:11 pm at 34 weeks gestation by emergency c - section. I forgot how long she is but she weighed in at 3 lbs 14 ozs. They did not like the amount of bowel dilation seen on the ultrasound so from the DR we went straight to the hospital.

Both baby and mom are currently doing wonderful. Baby is breathing on her own (no ventilator) and they have a silo on her and said that they will probably attempt closure over the weekend.

They also said that she has been pooping a whole lot and the dilation has gone down quite a bit… also the fluid coming from her stomach is light yellow and not green and that said that this was good too.. Not sure when I will have the time to get back here but wanted to stop by quickly to let everyone know…. Thanks so much for all the support of this forum….
