1. google the water on the brain thing it might be able to give you a bit more info and good luck with the rest off your pregnancy
2. i dont think you should give them p for adoption take care of your babys they are yours congrats on the twins
3. water on the brain is usually hydrosyphillis. Could be a problem but not worry too much till that third ultrasound is done. If it is indeed water on the brain then take it from there. Hoping all the best for you.
4. I think you should calm down until the next scan. Get all the information you can. Write down some questions just in case you forget if it helps and just take on board what they say. They are there to help and to give you options if you need them. Take one step at a time and let your Dad be your support, sounds like you've got a good one there so just let him help. Good luck.
5. Hi there - The water on the brain has probably been identified by measuring one of the ventricles in the affected baby's brain. The expected measurement for these ventricles is < 10mm and when it measures above the concern is the baby will have hydrocephalus (water on the brain) which can cause many developmental delays but is often a sign of other problems with the central nervous system. The doctor will keep an eye on it and make sure that the ventricle does not increase in size and more often or not the measurement does fall back down to within normal limits over time (that is falls below 10mm) - So to shortly answer your question the severity could be important here. But anything up to about 15mm is usually considered mild and more often than not there is no cause found and no problems with future development. Be aware however that you should be checked out more often with this finding until it resolved or the underlying cause is identified. You are correct that it has in studies been identified as an indicator of Down Syndrome - However if you are having identical twins one would expect such an indication to show in both babies. On the adoption decision, that is only a decision you can make once you have all the information - I can only recommend you think long and hard about this decision but ultimately it is your decision and whatever decision you come to will be the right decision for you and your children. It sounds like your dad would be a good person to start talking to about these choices you have and also your doctor/midwife and any teacher at school you feel understands you. The all can probably get you to start thinking about the implications of keeping your twins or giving them up for adoption. It is not easy and I feel for you. Good luck and best wishes.
6. Water on the brain (hydrocephally) could be for a bunch of different reasons. If this doesn't resolve itself, a doctor or surgeon might be able to correct it. Ask your doctor to explain the different scenarios surrounding this or google hydrocephally (just be wary of the internet source that you're reading). I'm glad you were able to tell your dad, that must have been a huge relief! Adoption can be a great option if you're comfortable with it. There are all kinds of adoptions- ones that you can even have contact with your daughters and the adoptive family throughout the girls' lives. Good luck to you and I wish all the best to you and your girls!
7. I'll be nice !!~ Ok. I really honestly think you should put your babies up for adoption. If one of your girls does have down-syndrome its going to be expensive dr bills and some insurance wont cover it all. There are a lot of couples out in the world (including my BF & I) who have not been successful with having a baby. I have been pregnant twice but I miscarried both times. It was so heartbreaking. My BF & I yearn to be parents especially me.. I love babies.... I would consider adopting them myself.. lol You have a lot of life ahead of you and you will have to quit school to get a job to support your girls, its not an easy road. Not for a 14 year old kid, I am 10 years older than you and would wish more than anything to be in your shoes!!!!!!! Please give your girls a life by giving them to a loving couple who cannot have children. You are too young to support them yourself and you cant get daddy to help you or any other relatives because most of the time they are not there. I think you may want to talk to your dad about this. Because he would probably see fit that you giving them up for adoption is the best choice and option for you. You do want your kids to have the best life right?? Consider adoption! Good Luck! ♥ ♥
8. dont worry yourself cause you don't know forsure just wait till you go to the doctors again... hope for the best
9. Honey listen to me. My daughter is adopted. It took us 14 yrs. to get her and we had 5 heartbreaks along the way from birth mothers who changed their mind. Getting her was like hitting the lottery. She was 1 week old. I never think of her as anything but bone of my bone nor flesh of my flesh. There are couples out there who would give anything to parent, women who are grieving to be mothers. I know because 17 yrs. ago I ~was~ one until a young woman placed her trust in us to raise her daughter. We would have welcomed twins. If you specify it they will not separate them. Be adamant! If the first agency will not promise that go to Catholic Charities. If you keep those babies you will do an injustice to them and you will kiss your childhood goodbye. Babies are expensive, alot of work, and PRECIOUS. They deserve the best chance in life and so do you and parenthood at 14 is not it.
10. It up to you if you ready than keep them....you know u have ur fathers support so that should help....but if not give them up for adoption...but really think about it before you act.....
11. just a wondering how are you 6 months on your page and 5 months on here.........looks like you are joking to me why bother posting......water on the brain doest fix itself on the kidneys maybe .......go play with your friends
12. adoption is totally your choice, however its something i would really really think about. you are very young, but in 4 or so years, you will be an adult and you will so want to have a family, you do have a long life ahead of you but in a few years you may regret giving up your twins, and by then you couldnt get them back. i just turned 20 and i cant wait to be a mommy. If your dad if willing to help you raise them, think about it. Good Luck To You! and Your Baby Girls!
