Distended Bowel

[petes_dragon]

Hi,

My sister' baby is due at end of November, she was at the hospital today for a scan and has been told that the baby has a 'distended bowel' and has been referred to a consultant and an extra scan on Thurs.

Could anyone tell me what this means or if they have had any experience of this as she is really panicking!!!

Thanks in advance

I am sure i chatted to you about this a few weeks ago , a lady from work's son has a beautiful little daughter, she is 5 months old now I think, and she had a benign tumour whilst in the womb which gave her a problem in that it was pressing on the bowel. her Mum went to Sheffield for some specialist scans and when she was born, the team in Manchester operated immediately and removed the tumour and repaired the bowel. It all went very well and she is a very healthy baby, Mum had a bad time before the delivery and whilst they were operating because it was worrrying, but all is well now. they have amazing technology these days and can learn so much before the baby is even born.
