Thanks everyone, thats made me feel better. Will have to talk to Royal Womens when I go for next appointment next week.
Gastroschisis is a defect in the abdominal wall, and a small amount of bub's bowels are hanging out. So bubs will be taken to Royal Childrens and will require immediate surgery. So, even with a vag birth I don't think bubs will be able to lay on my chest. I know that they're going to wrap him/her in plastic. I'm so confused as to whats going to happen.
But, I'm meeting with a pediatrician on tuesday, and a pediatric surgeon in late november.
Not sure when we're going to discuss my birth plan in Melb, I know that here they do it at 36 weeks. But, I've been told that bub's will probably come 4-6 weeks early.
Wow, that means that bub could come in less than 2 months!! I better start doing things!! lolz.
