Sorry I can't be of any help but just wanted to say you've done the right thing and gotten him checked out.
I'm sure it's nothing serious.
Thinking of you. I know how stressful the wait must be.
As hard as the wait will be, I hope you get some comforting news soon about DS. He is in the safest place and you did the right thing taking him to the hossy.
Thanks Lovenhope, i just texted Dh and he hasn't replied so i'm hoping that means DS is being seen by the doctors. I keep thinking of worst case scenarios...what if its his brain protruding? What if its a cerebral fluid build up or worse what if he's fractured his head?? I feel like such a bad mummy, surely i'd know if he's fractured his head right? I mean he's had some ouchy falls where he's lost his balance and plonked straight back on his head but he's seemed ok after, just the usual bumps and biffs bubs get.
I'm probably just freaking myself out, i've just never seen anything like it and i can't think what it would be.
I'm sorry i also have no idea what it could be, best thing is your getting it checked out. i hope your hubby texts you soon, so you get some relief. could it be like an insect bite?
i hope everything is ok. x
well the doctor finally saw DS and he said that DS was fine, he couldn't really say what the lump was but he was sure it wasn't a head injury. He said if it was a head injury there would be blood coming out of DS's nose and ears (horrible image, don't even want to think about it). So Ds is back home and all snuggled up in bed. I'll Talk to Ds's doctor about it on Monday and see what he thinks. I did some googling and apparently the is a thing called a cephalohematoma which is a fluid build up under the baby's scalp, common after birth and with head moulding. Apparently its harmless and goes away on its own. Hopefully thats all it is. Wow what an exciting and scary night. Think i'll go relax with a cuppa!
