So after being sent out of state to 3 different hospitals and a heart specialist they finally found out what was wrong with my little girl. She has dexrocardia. There are different types and levels but thank heavens she has the least threatening one. Its where your heart is on the wrong side of your chest but all her other organs and brain are where they're supposed to be and functioning perfect. Literally everything is perfect besides her heart is misplaced. She'll be able to live a normal life. I'm so blessed. Thank you everyone for your prayers!

Ya there is different ones. I know what your talking bout. Everyone I try and explain it to thinks that since her heart is on wrong side everything else should be swapped too. But no. If that was the case then she definitely would need surgery and would have a low chance of survival. I'm so thankful she's gonna be okay

Wow,  that's so rare! I've literally only seen it twice during my career. Even more rare than that would be situs inversus, where everything is on the wrong side.  I'm glad they figured it out now and you don't have to worry anymore.

[PaytonFaith]

Ya exactly. I mean at least we think positive about it. We joke about how she'll have to do the pledge of allegence backwards. And we can pull a prank on doctors when they go to check her heartbeat and can't find it we're gonna tell the doc that she's heartless lol

I bet. I'm glad you finally got an answer though. Hopefully now you can enjoy the pregnancy and not have to worry!

[PaytonFaith]

It was very scary. Doctors not knowing what was going, wouldn't explain to me what was wrong. They kept sending me to different places with better technology and more experienced doctors. It was very scary. I couldn't sleep not knowing what was wrong with my daughter. I don't wish this upon anybody!

[PaytonFaith]

Ya there is different kinds. She doesn't have the life threatening one. There is no way to prevent or cause it. It just happens. Its very rare. Google dextrocardia and it'll explain a lot better than I can lol

Glad she's doing well hun!

I cant imagine how difficult that was for you,  but I'm so happy she'll be okay!

So her heart is on the right side and not left? I know you say she can live a normal life but just clarifing so ther no complications with her health or anything like that with it being different sided? How did theu figure out something wasnt right?  Im so sorry if im coming across rude I have just never heard of this and im really interested in this. Im really happy for you that your buba is okay and safe and healthy. Left or right shes gona be perfect! Sorry you had to go through that stress. My doc told me I have some blood disorder and if my partner had it my daughter would only live to the age of 15-20 and have all these complications, lucky my partner doesnt have it so baby is okay but irs so stressful knowing something very horrible could be wrong.
