the dignosis

That my babys leggs and arms were not growing right they were a lot smaller than they should be. Imagen the picture of my baby in my head at this time. I'm very confused and scared for my son. I go sit in a consult roomand wait forever and ever and finally a woman appears I don't hear her name to wrapped up in fear wondering if she was going to be straight with me. She has my oltra sound report.she starts telling how when they measue a fetus they look for it to measure with the amount of weeks the baby is and at 16 weeks his average measurements are 15 weeks then she says. That's the percent of his whole body which concerns them but what concerns them more is the measurements of his individual body parts she goes on to say his leggs are measuring at 12 weeks which is in medical terms femur. The word I heard before. His arms they said they couldn't measure good because of the position he had them curled up in an odd way but what they got was 12 weeks and his chest was also too small at 15 weeks his ribs she said were bell shaped and this head wasn't right either she said his forehead came out a lot and the back was flat she said his head appeared soft were it shouldn't be and that there was something abormal in his head as well she said they could find this toes or his fingers because of the way his feet and hands were and then she shows me this paper with achrondrogenis wrote at the top and goes on to say that babies with this don't live that if he wasn't stillborn he'd most likely die shortly after that I should consider abortion. I was ready to leave at this point balling my eyes out uncontrolably. At first I just mourn for him my partner tells me I should calm down its not good for me to be this upset they don't know everything I start thinking these symtoms sound like what I know to be how a darwf looks and so I start rseaching online and sure enough its exactly what it stands and my logical side starts in they live normal lives what about the show little people? At first I just come past a bunch of medical terms I don't understand then pictures scarey pics mainly but not all were bad but then english and I read for three days constantly talking and thinking of nothing else I'm probly driving my parner, ryan mad! Lol but I've learned so much. And its very hopefull a lot kids who are born this way survive not only do they survive they strive for their condition ya they're motor skills are a little slower learned but its very understandable with shorter limbs and bigger heads but they do live and with that there is hope!!!
