We just had our 20 week scan and got the devastating news that we were having a baby boy with CDH. We were always told that CDH was just a fluke but now we are convinced that it's genetic. How could it be otherwise!
We're going to find out more on Tuesday but it's so much harder this time around. We know what to expect- or not to expect, we know there are no certainties until the baby is born and we also have Alina to think about. Heartbroken!
Taking on a Challenge!

My heart is breaking for you right now...this is just not fair. You fought so hard to bring Alina into this world and I can't imagine what you are feeling. Have you and Alex ever consulted a genetic counselor or participated in any genetic studies? I know we have two going on in the US, but there still is no definite answers CDH is genetic. Will keep you and your family in my prayers and may you find peace in the decisions you are faced with. Hope you find some more definite answers out soon on how your little boy is doing. I am here for you if you need to talk, vent, yell, cry....my heart goes out to you Ingrid. You are an amazing mommy and I hope you are you surrounded by much love during this difficult time.
Hugs, Tracy

Oh, I am so sorry Ingrid. I can only imagine the heartbreak you felt when you heard those words again. Many, many prayers for you, Alex, Alina, and your little boy!!!
Thinking of you!!!!!

It is hard to put into words what your subject line did to my heart when I turned on my computer. I'm stunned, devastated, and sad. Of course, I appreciate how wonderful a CDH child can become as I think Georgia and Alina have brought tremendous joy into our respective lives so I take nothing away from the beautiful lives we both have with our CDH babies. But, I can only imagine how you are all feeling right now with such difficult news. We will keep all of you in our prayers and thoughts sending strength, courage, and love your way. Please keep us posted. We will be following closely.
Much love,
Georgia's Mom
Ingrid,
I am so sorry that you and Alex are experiencing this again. I can't imagine the stress and fear that you are feeling. I know you know the wonderful blessings that Alina has brought you, but that doesn't make it less scary right now I am sure.
I will keep you all in my prayers.
so sorry to hear of your 2nd CDH journey, we too thought our problems were genetic, lost a baby to a CHD, then had our sunshine Lewis with CDH, and 2 early losses with complications as well, we had all the genetic testing and it all came back clear they even tested Lewis :(
you and your family are in my thought xx
