hi everyone only new to this. At 2.46am on the 5th of october i gave birth to my son who was unfortunitly stillborn due to severe hydrocephalus 
.. That was only 12 days ago and the pain is still so raw. We found out at our 20 week scan that our lil boy had fluid on his brain called ventricumegaly. We wer not told much more other than look it up on the internet and giving a date to come back in 2 weeks time. We got a different doctor because the one before it was her last day. This doctor was so nice and explained everything. As the weeks went on it was bad news each time we had a scan the fluid kept on building up in his head 
.. We had a fetal mri done to find the cause because there was no chromosomal issues we got the amnio done and blood tests came back clear. We found out it was an intervacular heammoragh that was stuck in his spine just where the fluid was supposed to flow into his little body. They tink it happened at 18 weeks. We were told our little man would unlikely live or could die in uetro. The pain over those months knowing our baby boy would not make it. He had so much fluid in his head it had taken over his brain tissue. My doctor had decided a c section at my due date would be preformed but all this changed when my waters broke on 26 september after eating really spicey chicken!! I was kept in hospital and they decided to induce me 5th oct. They planned to drain fluid from our babys head while i was in labour so i could give birth to him vaginally. Well thats what happend they started to induce me by drip the 4th oct at 10 am.at around 4 pm i got the epidural and the fluid was drained from our boys head while i was 2cm dialated. 16 hours of labour and our little man was born weighing 6.4 i was 35 wks and 6 days. We named him david after his daddy he is the image of him. The most special boy in my life. We visit his grave everyday. love & miss him so much. everyday i wake up and dread the tought of not having anyting to look forward to ..
