Baby Born With Bowel Outside Body Marks 1st Birthday
Fran Groves, a 26 -year-old mother discovered during her 12 – week scan that her baby suffered from the condition ‘gastroschisis,’ which often causes some newborns to have their intestines or bladder exposed. For this reason, Fran, had periodic visits to the hospital during pregnancy.
“I was with my husband Paul and suddenly the consultant noticed something amiss, it came as a shock, as the majority of newborns’ intestines have moved inside their abdomen by 11 weeks’ gestation, after initially developing outside the umbilical cord. I really didn’t expect it. Fran said.”
“It was scary to be told at my first scan that something wasn’t right. It was the last thing that we expected. We were told our baby was just one in 3,000 babies who would be born with this condition and we had so many concerns.
I was surrounded by about 20 doctors, nurses and support staff, then, finally, Sydney was there. Doctors warned me she might not scream, but she let out a giant yell. It was the best sound.
Her bowel was wrapped tightly to her body, with what looked like a special version of Clingfilm, which would help protect it.”
