Hi,

I am in my 6th month of pregnancy and I have a major problem now.

I had my anomaly scan last week and the stomach bubble of my baby is not seen. I repeated the anomaly scan in 5 separate places and 5 seperate days and the stomach bubble is still not seen.My amniotic fluid level is also on the higher side. Since the stomach bubble is not seen, the doctors have diagnosed a high possibility of esophageal atresia (along with TEF) in the baby. The doctors are saying that since there is a block in the esophagus, the amniotic fluid level is on the higher side.

We are going mad here trying to decide a future course of action. We are doing an Amniocentesis tomorrow to find if there are any chromosomal problems.

In case someone has gone through such an experience, or if someone knows a doctor who handles such complex pregnancies, do let me know. I am based in Chennai.

Thanks,
GL
