Hello everyone!! My name is Wendy. I did join the board a few years ago but then life took over and I never had the chance to get on here so I am back and ready to talk. I will be 37 this year and was born with CDH. I am married, live in Ohio, Go BUCKS! My husband and I have five healthy children. I hope I get the chance to meet some of you.

As of our ultrasound last week, our visit frequency with that department was changed from semi-monthly to weekly. The reason for this at the time was that the technician noted an increased amount of amniotic fluid; and they decided that at 30 weeks it would be best to keep an eye on it. Simultaneously, they assured us that all findings were positive (including a lung head ratio of 1.8 and steady growth, with an approximate weight of 4lbs). Today we went back for our first follow up scan and ...
