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!
Thanks everyone, i'm such a stress head . I'm really proud of DH taking Ds to the hospital though, usually he's just like 'it'll be right' so i'm glad he went and put our minds at rest. Apparently the doctor looked at DS for like 3mins tops after poor Dh had to wait for 2 hours while trying to entertain DS. Oh well, better to be over protective than under protective right?
Thanks for all the support gals I'll let you know what the DR says about the lump on Monday.
Just wanted to update. Saw the doc on Monday about ds's head and the doc thinks its actually a result of all the falls he keeps having My poor little baby keeps smashing his head, and to make matters worse he's now figured out how to pull himself onto his feet which means there's further to fall.
I told the dr. i was thinking about getting one of those helmets for Ds and he thought it would be a good idea so i've ordered it and it should get here monday.
The dr. also said that if the lump is still there in 3 weeks then we'll do an ultrasound to see if there's any damnage.
Just wanted to let everyone know, i always thought those helmet things were silly but now i think they can be very worth while, especially if you have any early developer like mine who can't wait to start walking!
