Hi Natalie,
Thanks for posting about where you're up to. I hope that you were able to have a
useful discussion with the paediatrician about Alex. We live in Maitland, NSW
and found the medical staff there and in Newcastle to be very helpful in
answering all our many questions. I had Matthew 6 months ago, he was 40 weeks +
4 and he lived for 1 hour after birth.
I wish you all the best for these next tough weeks ahead. You and your family
are in my thoughts and prayers,
Love Vanessa

affecting Alex and he has enlarged kidneys.

it affecting Alex, I don't want him in pain or discomfort just so I can make a
few more weeks. I'm going to talk to a paediatrician today and see what he
says. Whenever Alex comes I have to have a c-section. We have most things
organised, clothes, funeral etc. I didn't want to have to cope with organising
things later. We have recorded Alex's heartbeat in a couple of teddy's and next
time we visit our midwife we will record it on a scrapbooking recorder. Well
that's were I'm at, trying to cope with it all, and look after my other two
kids. They are a bit young to understand what's happening.
