My daughter is due on September 30th, and we found out when I was 20 weeks pregnant that she had a left sided diaphragmatic hernia with part of her stomach and liver in the chest cavity, heart pushed to the right. We weren't told until my appointment today (5 weeks later) That my baby has very little lung tissue on both lungs.
