Diaphragmatic Hernia Please Help

Diaphragmatic Hernia Please Help

This is our second pregnancy the first pregnancy that we had ended in miscarriage.
My wife is at about 21 weeks. We went for our second ultrasound and it was noted that the stomach is high
up in the chest cavity and the heart is pushed over to the right side. It says that Diaphragmatic Hernia is a
consideration. It also notes everything else is normal. Our doctor who is a midwife told us we will have to
deliver the baby somewhere else, because there are insufficent facilities here locally. She referred us to a
specialist who specializes in sick babies and mothers and she told us it is to early to know and the baby
is still in gestation. She has seen cases where it went back to normal and told us it is to early to worry.
I also spoke to my cousin who is an obgyn and she said that it is possible it could go back to normal too.
We have another appointment next week and the wait is hard. Anyone know about this? I know it is pretty
rare and I have done research I am looking for thoughts-experiences not links.

One more thing the baby kicks alot and seems very active. I hope that is a good sign.

Thanks

It's always a good sign when the baby is real active. Any problem a pregnant mother has the doctor's first question is always, "Is the baby moving around?" I do not know anything about this problem. Never heard of it before but wanted to give you a word of hope. The baby moving around is always a good sign. I wish you and your wife the best of luck.
