one of my closest friend is pregnant and is 37 weeks. It is a very long story but her doctor wanted to have a c-section last week but ended up not doing it because ultrasound indicated baby's lungs were underdeveloped.
basically baby's due date is Nov 1 but his lungs are reading like a baby in the mid 20 weeks.
Has anyone had a similiar situation or known of similiarly? My friend is panicked that baby's lungs won't get to the fully developed position--and is geniunely concerned as to why they are so small now..
if you know how these tests go... ( I don't) she indicated that one test (I think the lecithin/sphingomyelin ratio)-- she was suppose to be a 2.0 and she turned out to be a 1.4.
On another test she was suppose to be 40 and she was 14. I am not sure what test that was..
anyway, if anyone has had a similiar experience can you tell me how it went with you and your baby. my friend is worried sick. The doctor said that he will probably deliver the baby on the 24th. by the way, the baby is very big and all the other organs appear to be okay.
any help appreciated.
thank you mucho
