: I am 30 weeks pregnant. We found out at just 14 weeks that there was a problem with our little boy. He has a bladder abstruction where he can't release his urine. The first ultra sound showed this mass on the baby's stomach. About 4 weeks later we find out that the "mass" was an enlarged bladder. We had an amnio. and they did 2 bladder taps.(took urine from the baby's bladder)The hole for the 2nd tap never healed. The urine our son is producing is going into his stomach area. His Kidney's are not working. The last ultra sound we did showed that he now has cyst on his kidney's. His lungs are not developing, because in order for them to develop there has to be fluid around him. Amniotic fluid is created by his urine. We have known since Feb. 25th that there is a 99% chance that our son will die at birth. We have also come to realize that he is breach. With no fluid it will be hard for him to flip around. So I will have to have a c-section. We have approx. 2 months to go before we deliver and no-one can tell I am pregnant unless you know that I am. Some days are so overwelming. We try to take one day at a time, but its very hard not to think about whats about to happen to us. This is our first child. Please pray that I and my husband Matt have the strength to make it through this. Thank you
: Just an update, we will be going to the hospital on Monday the June 21st for a c-section. We have decided it is time, with every Ultra Sound we have had, something else is wrong. Please pray that we have strength and courage to make it through this. Thank you
