I hope they'll be able to find out soon exactly what's wrong so you'll at least know what you're dealing with. You're right that they've come a long way in correcting these heart problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-friends-baby-diagnosed-with-pulmonic-valve-stenosis-on-the-anatomy-scan#post-1871572 Sat, 20 Sep 2014 21:28:58 +0000 MrsScallop 1871572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pmrlady: I am pregnant with a boy who has a heart defect. Not a pulmonary valve issue, but likely something wrong with his aorta, as the anatomy scans show his right ventricle is dilated and his left is small (unfortunately we still can't tell exactly what is wrong from the 3 fetal echos I've had). We are looking at potentially 3 surgeries and plenty of NICU time after he is born, but again, we don't know exactly what yet. I am due December 19, so in a similar time frame as your friend.</p> <p>Sorry your friend is going through this too! It is definitely scary, but for me, planning as much as possible has really helped me cope. Even with the worst heart defects, surgeries and treatments have come a long way in the past 10-20 years, so there are many reasons to still have hope and believe that the baby can still lead a relatively normal life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-friends-baby-diagnosed-with-pulmonic-valve-stenosis-on-the-anatomy-scan#post-1871483 Sat, 20 Sep 2014 19:49:38 +0000 travelgirl1 1871483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No experience but I'm sorry, I hope everything turns out well for your friend :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-friends-baby-diagnosed-with-pulmonic-valve-stenosis-on-the-anatomy-scan#post-1871436 Sat, 20 Sep 2014 18:46:12 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1871436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pmrlady: Sorry, no experience. Did they think the heart was normal otherwise? FX baby is healthy and your friend is not too stressed! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-friends-baby-diagnosed-with-pulmonic-valve-stenosis-on-the-anatomy-scan#post-1871129 Sat, 20 Sep 2014 08:28:23 +0000 pmrlady 1871129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Radish: December 30 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-friends-baby-diagnosed-with-pulmonic-valve-stenosis-on-the-anatomy-scan#post-1871111 Sat, 20 Sep 2014 08:02:32 +0000 Radish 1871111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How scary. I have no experience but I hope everything turns out well for your friend. When is she due? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-friends-baby-diagnosed-with-pulmonic-valve-stenosis-on-the-anatomy-scan#post-1871092 Sat, 20 Sep 2014 07:22:55 +0000 pmrlady 1871092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this or knows someone who had. They noticed something off on the anatomy scan of the heart and then she had a fetal echocardiogram done.<br /> I'm not sure how severe the stenosis is but her doctor told her that the baby will need to have a procedure to open up the valve right after birth and will spend some time in the NICU. </p> <p>Anyone gone through this? </p>
