Before he was born
| At 33 weeks, due to pregnancy induced hypertension, i went in for a level 2 ultrasound. I had been on bed rest for the last month, and was considered a high risk pregnancy due to my previous pregnancy resulting in toxemia. So, the plan was to stay low key so i did not develop toxemia (blood pressure disease during pregnancy) again in this pregnancy. The ultrasound tech took extra long doing this ultrasound, and blamed it on routine. When i saw the Dr., she explained to me that they noted something called Fetal Hydronephrosis of the kidney. She told me not to worry myself, and they would re-evaluate it in another ultrasound in 3 weeks. I remember trying to keep my composure, i asked her to write me down the spelling of this unfamiliar word so when i got home i could research it on the Internet. I got in the car, called my husband and just began crying. I could not understand, why yet something else had to go wrong with another pregnancy. He calmed me down, and said he would come home early so we can discuss it. Next i called my mom, freaking out to her that there was something wrong with my kidneys, and why me and so on. She could barely understand me, nor could she make out the sound of the word i was trying to pronounce. I finally pulled away from the hospital, picked up my 1st born son from my friends house, and went home immediately to get on the computer to learn what was wrong with me. I typed in the word (scary to me), Hydronephrosis, and a few things jumped up in the search engine. I browsed the 1st listing, and learned that this word meant water in the kidney. There were a few things that could cause this, including a bladder that was overfilled. I prayed to myself that that was my problem, and after a full release, i would be fine. The other reasons were due to reflux of the bladder, or obstructions in the genitourinary tract. I kept praying that the 1st option was my problem, considering i did not have any of these conditions previously. So, i kept on reading, learning the same things over on each returned search result. Then one website caught my attention... It was a yahoo support group called Hydronephrosis in Children. At that instant, i felt so horrible that little kids could be dealing with this problem, and i had never even heard of it, and was spazzing out that i had it. I began reading some parents concerns and stories, and realized that quite a few of these children had been diagnosed with Hydronephrosis in utero. (still in the womb). All of a sudden, i started freaking out even more so now, that what if this was my unborn baby that had this problem and not me! I went back to the previous search results and skimmed to the areas where they talked about diagnosing Hydro. Turns out, that a fairly large percentage of individuals are born with it, or some kind of obstruction causing it earlier in life. I was not finding too much info on many adults with Hydronephrosis, as many children undergo surgical procedures to fix this. I was breaking out in a deep sweat, getting hot and cold flashes, getting nervous and anxious and dizzy, as i began to realize that the Fetal Hydronephrosis noted during my ultrasound was not me, but my unborn child. I figured at the time, that fetal had just meant during MY pregnancy, and not the actual fetus. This hit me like a ton of bricks, and my tears began to create rivers at my feet. I could not catch my breath as millions and thoughts raced around my head. |
