I had a scan yesterday (i’m currently 34 weeeks) and they said that the bowel was dilated inside and out. She said this is common as the room is getting tight in there. Is this right? I also had a date to get induced at 38 weeks. I just cannot wait for his worry to be over and for little one to get on the road to recovery.
My son was born with Gastroschisis and has had an amazing recovery, having left Addenbrookes after only 13 days and no real problems other than very slow weight gain in the initial 6 months.
He is now on the 75th centile and 14 months old.
However he has lately started suffering with really bad constipation. This morning he almost screamed the house down trying to pass a stool. he has a reasonably balanced diet, and I try to give him prunes every few days, but he is still in pain at least once a week.
Has anyone else had this problem?
