Hi,

I had my doctor's appointment today. My ultrasound report mentioned the following. I have a girl baby.

\";It should be noted, however that placental bands are seen both near the fundus as well as the lower portion of the uterus. These may, in fact represent amniotic bands,although they are quite thickened. While the fetus at this point is free of these bands,close ultasonographic is recommended to evaluate for possible adherenceof any fetal parts to these bands. Additionally, there is a potential that the fetal head may become entrapped within these bands, causing cerebellar ischemia.

Followup examination in 5 week intervalis recommended until delivery\";

The above was mentioned in the report and the doctor clearly mentioned there is nothing that can be done for this. Just need to be under continous observation. I'm very scared. there is no solution for this.I have to wait until my delivery. Please pray for me that these bands should disappear. In 32 of experience, doctor mentined that he has met only 2-3 cases which added to my doubt that nobody will be able to help me including the doctors. I feel that way. I was recommended scan every 6 weeks. I'm totally shattered and not able to concentrate no anything including food. I'm not able to sleep properly too. Please pray for me. I wish they said it can be cured or we can treat you.

Please pray for me

I shall take care of myself atleast for my little girl. I shall ask the dotor to monitor me closely.I have learnt so many medical terms during my pregnancies though i'm no way connected with the medical field.:-)

At this point in time, the baby is fine and i'm happy for that. Hope nothing will affect my baby in the later months. I shall go for regular scans and will update you all. Thanks once again for your support. I feel nothing will happen to my baby. Have put my burden on God!!!!

Supriya Tweetie replied. Dear Anitha,

Disheartening as it is to hear the update, look on the brighter side that Mircales still do happen to anyone who prays for one. Our prayers are with you. On your part, you need to be happy, eat regularly and take good rest. Your sweet little one needs all the nutrition that she needs from you. So taking care of urself means taking care of her.

Please take a conscious effort to ward off negative thoughts. ( I know it is easy for me to just say all this...but please do it for the baby's sake). God knows ur feelings as a mom to be and HE will not let you down.

Take Care and God Bless,

Love,
Tweetie archie replied. Dear Anitha,

Girls have suggested and true that easier said than done. Still have to make sure that all possible advise is made and make you aware that what you do is directly linked to your littleone. So be stress free and let the littleone enjoy inside, that's the best to keep inner environment happy and keep littleone growing as she should.

I am here mentioning cases that I seen by myself.
These are two friends of mine,
One is mother of two. Both her babies came earlier than EDD, first one on 30th week and second one at 26th week. On the 26th week there is only 3% chances, but given that she was in state of art facility hospital her both daughters are doing just touch wood. One is 3 year and 2 months while second one is 1 year and 6 months. They developed as a full term baby and reached all milestones at expected time.

Second friend has a daughter who came on 33rd week and is now 7 months, she can crawl and seat independently.

Why am I telling this, what's this background for?

If you can follow your pregnancy closely until week 31 or week 32 then you can opt for inducing or C-section to have baby delivered. All the expected complications are supposed to take place when baby is head down or in crawded uterus. usually Uterus gest crawded in last weeks of gestation. By week 32 major lung development is taken place and if you can get some surfactants injections your baby will be home sound and healthy in a few weeks.

Weigh your insuarance and work closely with your OB.

Anitha, to my experience your concern sounded totally new and that's why I told you I will need time. I failed to find more information.

I know suggested option is not a great one but you can keep this as a resort when you notice things are the same and indicate a little trouble to baby. If the placenta gets on normal part, which we all should hope from our prayers and you will not need to take this option seriously.

Do not loose your heart and patience, this is the time you need to be more patient and calm.

Feel free to talk to us.

You will have to be strong.....and eat properly and think positive....to keep the system perfect...

vidi Niti replied. Dear Anitha! I can understand what you must have gone thru'! When one can't do anything to improvise the situation, you should leave to the God. See, there will be light at the tunnel. But if you don't act patiently now and don't behave like a mature woman, the little one inside will be suffering. Please take care of yourself, especially your sleep and food. Don't keep on thinking about it. Ask your hubby to be around you and spend time with you. Make yourself engage in some kind of hobby. Our sincere prayers are with you. Have faith in God, he can't play foul with you, for sure.
love,
