Hello, terrie! My name is jennifer, 21 yr old mommy of 3 and insurance producer. What your grandbaby has is known as hydrocyphelis...I had this when I was born. These days this isn't that serious...In fact it can be taken care of while your grandchild is still in your daughters womb. I was born when my mother was a tender 28 1/2 wks preg, weighing only 2lb 8oz. I'm sure the little angel will be fine. What they will do is put a shunt (cathotor) from the brain to the abdomin. (mine was put in when I was 3 wks old) and it is not (water) it is spinal fluid...Which will drain, until the baby (child) no longer needs the fluid to be drained...I was 13 when mine stopped.

Praying for the best,

jennifer

Jennifer,
thank you so much for your answer. I can tell by reading your response that you know what your talking about, because thats exactly what the doctor said about draining the fluid. My daughter is 20 yrs old and just gave birth to her first son, a year ago. We were told this new baby is a girl, but before we could be assured everything would be find, we had to wait for the test results for chromosome to come back..

As stated previously, I wish you the best of luck and will be praying for you, your daughter, and her unborn child. However, i'm sure everything will be fine! May I ask where you are located? Any time if you need.





Keep me updated!





Jennifer

I hope your little grandchild is safe and i'll pray for him or her. Let me know if anything changes. How did the doctor tell there was fluid? Were there any sign outside the womb that I should be aware of? Should I get tested for something like this?

I was born with fluid on the brain, my mom said after I was 2 months old my head was huge, I was sent home (bare in mind it was 32 yrs ago) to die. My dad wouldnt put up with it any longer he took me to another hospital in the city and there I was able to recieve treatment. I was like 3 years old when my treatment had stopped, but I faintly recall holding my moms hand as we left the hospital, and I could feel cold air on the left hand side of my head (there was a shunt placed inside) thats all I recall and how sore that area is to touch, even till this very day. Well I pulled through and here I am now ready to have my 1st baby, so if doctors 32 yrs ago could help a baby with that same problem, then there is always hope for any lil baby now so I say...Please don't stress yourself over it, or anyone for that matter....Babies do pull through and turn out great looking normal and lead a normal life..Thankfully

ps- I had the fear of my un-born taking after me and going through the same thing...But I told myself..Well if I pulled through so will he/she.

Thanks for all these info, last week when we went to meet doctor for normal checkup even they found the same. We are having our ultrasound test tomorrow. Hope theings will be fine. since this is our first baby mywife and myself are undergoing bit stressful situation.

i'll sure update this form,so someone can get required info. anyway let us also pray for your grand daughter.
