May 2014 Moms

Not Going to be A May '14 momma :(

It was official Wednesday.  I'm not going to be a May '14 momma.  At our A/S, my regular OB found a mass and was unsure of what it was.  He referred us to an MFM, which luckily we were able to get in to see the next day.  At our 1st MFM appt, we were told that our daughter has a sacrococcygeal teratoma, but we were still hopeful he would let her stay in as long as possible, hopefully into May.  Well, at our MFM appt Wednesday, we found out the teratoma has grown.  It was 4cmx5cm at our 1st appt Dec 24th, and Wednesday it had grown to 8cmx8cm.  Our MFM said he is not going to let her go any longer than 35 weeks which puts us at April 15th, but feels that more likely it will be somewhere in the 30 week range, because he wants to reduce the risk of trauma to the teratoma during delivery.  We go back on Friday to see if it's grown anymore and possible have an MRI depending on whether or not she is still enough to cooperate.  As active as she was last time, he said all we would get is a picture that resembled a Jackson Pollock artwork piece.  However, he did say that he would be okay if she stayed too active to get an MRI.  So, even though I wasn't very active on here, I just wanted to say good-bye and hope that your pregnancies continue on as planned.

  • Thanks for not kicking me out, lol!  This has very much been a roller coaster of emotions.  Our MFM is very confident of everything turning out well, and I have the utmost trust in him, which is kind of hard being a nurse and trusting a doctor.  However, two of the doctors I work with on a daily basis went to medical school with him and really raved about how smart he is and how good he is.  Plus he has an awesome bedside manner.  However, knowing that I'm going to have a premature baby anywhere in the next 8-12 weeks scares the bejeebies out of me.  I also have been reminding my DS (who's 13, I really know how to space them out, huh?) that even if it seems like Carleigh is taking all my time, it doesn't mean that I've replaced him.  He understands completely, but I'm so afraid he will think I've abandoned him.
  • Wishing all the best to you and your daughter!

  • I was scared to open this because I thought it was going to be a late loss post.  Cheer up Mama and hang in there.  I hope your baby comes safe when the time is right.  April babies are awesome too (Asher is an April baby)  And you can still post here.

  • Sorry, I made everyone think it was a loss post.  Not what I wanted to do.  Pregnancy brain doesn't work well all the time.  I am very hopeful this LO will stay in til April, I'm just afraid that she's going to make her appearance in March, nothing against March babies, but I want her to cook as long as possible.  My mother has already said she's going to be nothing like my first child: laidback, go with the flow.  She's going to make sure everyone pays attention to her, lol
  • Hoping for the best for you, your LO and your family. It sounds like you are in very capable hands.

  • I'm sorry you're experiencing this... as others have said, though, stay strong and stick around! As @Hatchetface said, there are several of us who might become April mamas instead of May (my EDD is 5/2 and likely early c/s to be scheduled soon)!

    I'm so sorry. Even though you are delivering early, you are still a May momma, so stick around. I will keep you in my thoughts.
  • Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers.  I knew you ladies would understand.  Friends in real life don't really seem to understand the severity of it.  When I mention that she will have to have surgery afterward, they seem to act like its NBD, but it's my baby and it is a big deal. To me, it would be a big deal if my 13 year old was having surgery.
  • You are still a May Mommy! I am so sorry for this stress.
