Amniotic Band Syndrome ((disturbing Picture))
Posted: 08-26-04 12:25pm

Well I just got back from the clinic, I
picked up my referall to go to the
hospital for a sonogram ..On the referal
it says under symptoms/diagnosis-amniotic
band syndrome...So I did some research on
what this is about and it is the most
upseting thing I have ever had to deal
with...
Definition: amniotic band syndrome is a
set of congenital malformations ranging
from minor constriction rings and
lymphedema of the digits to complex,
bizarre multiple congenital anomalies that
are attributed to amniotic bands that
stick, entangle and disrupt fetal parts.
If you want to see the fetus that had
amniotic band syndrome its on this website

The dr says that the band isnt near the
fetus and that the baby is moving normally
I have no idea whats going to happen when
I go to the hospital but I have experience
with complications from when I had my
miscarriage they try and sugercoat
everything...This is the worst thing that
could ever happen to a pregnant woman and
it figures it would happen to me... The
baby can either be born with missing body
parts totally f'd up looking like a
massacred corpse..Stillborn,,,,or die a
few dayss after birth...If u have this
syndrome they offer an abortion because
its so horrible... I think this is going
to put me in the psych ward of the
hospital rather then the maternity ward.

Shayna we are all here for you no matter
what happens. I'm sorry you have to go
through this. Did your doctor actually
diagnose it, or just say that it may be a
possibility?

She just said that on her sonogram there
was a band and I have to go to the
hospital because they have better
sonograms there... But im sure that shes
right...On monday ill be 100% sure of
whats going on...((she didnt even tell me
that it can wrap around the baby and cause
physical deformities/but who wants to be
the barrier of bad news))

Yea maybe the sonogram was f'd up but I
dont want to tell myself that everythings
going to be okay ...Because I did that
last time I was pregnant and it was more
upsetting when it wasnt all good.Im trying
to be prepared for the worst. Thank you
everybody for your concern I will
definately let everybody know what happens
on monday.

Or it could be just a mild one that won't
have any effect on the baby.

Im sorry to hear that, but I sure
everything will be ok. When I got an u/s
done, they found this thing in the heart
and they said its common in babies with
downsyndrome, and they offered me an
amniocintesis, and an abortion if she did
have down syndrome, I turned both down,
and said I will deal with w/e god gives
me. At my next u/ after that, they told
me that they dont know what the spot was,
but its gone now. My word of advice~
believe in god, and trust in him that he
wont give you anything you cant handle.
If dont ever doubt him, everything will be
ok.
