I know that this is not quite the right place to post, but i have gotten so much support in the past.


My wife is 26 Weeks pregnant and at the last ultrasound they found a cyst that was 15cm by 10cm. The Dr quickly suggested that we wait, and probably have a C-section. Our meeting with him was cut short because he had to go into surgury.

Anybody have a similar problem?

Where is this cyst exactly? Did the doc say it was life threatening to the baby? Did he say her pregnancy was coming along at a normal stage?

Just some encouragement- if the baby is growing normally, you should be all right. My now-15-year-old son was born at 27 1/2 weeks gestation, and he's a happy (as happy as a conflicted teenage boy can be <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />) healthy kid. It is scary, he was in the hospital for 2 months, but this was 15 (almost 16!!) years ago. Think of the medical advances since then! He was 2 1/2 lbs. Sooo little. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

the cyst is wedged up against the rectum. The doc said he was not worried about it twisting because of how it is wedged. He didn't seem to worried, and from what i understand that as long as it doesn't break everything will be fine. (not exactally the most conforting feeling though).

Like i said before he had to leave before we could ask more questions, and I have already called him today, but he is out untill monday.

From what i have read it looks like bed rest and no sex. but the dr didn't have time to tell us what he suggested for precausions.

When I do get ahold of him I plan on asking, about the risks of doing noting, risks of sergery, what about my W's confort. and weather he planned on more ultrasounds.

He did schedule my wife for a non-intrusive baby checkup each week, which from what i understand (the secratary guessed) is a belt that wrapps around my wife, and gets the heart rate and other statistics of the baby.



P.S. The ultrasound also showed it is (most likely) a little girl. http://www.askbj.com/littleone/

Congrats on the new baby on the way!

I was doing a little research on the internet (as I am sure you have done)...and it seems like cysts during pregnancy are not uncommon and in a vast majority of cases cause no complications. It is probably a good sign that your W is already at 26 weeks. I am sure your W and baby will be just fine. Call your doctor on Monday and get your questions answered. You and your family will be in our prayers tonight.

Congrats! I'm so excited for you and your family!

I'm sure that things will be fine, but will keep you guys in our family prayer! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
