hi..I am pregnant with 25 weeks and all long bone short ... femurs 5 week behind and humerus 4 week behind with club feet doctor diagnoses it as a lethal skeletal dysplasia where baby can survive like normal except short height max up to 4 ft .everything was normal at 20 week but now its shows abnormality ... we both are above 5.5 ft .. we dont have any family history of short stature. so now we r so worried and afraid from this and confused whether we should continue this pregnancy or not ... kindly share your such experience and suggest us if any solution available...

if It just means your child is going to be short then there’s nothing to worry about, read up about it and find out all the information you can. There’s probably a blog somewhere by parents who’ve been through the same. Make sure you’re not smoking or around anyone else smoking too

Hey I appreciate any abnormality that’s found can be worrying, however, personally I wouldn’t be worried about the dysplasia because the drs have reassured you that your baby can live a happy, healthy life. We are currently 24 weeks pregnant and our little boy only has half a heart and a large CCAM (cystic mass) on his right lung, he is facing multiple operations very soon after birth, but we are remaining positive and strong for the sake of our son, if I were you, I’d make a list of questions you have for your next appointment and have a look into charities that could give you more info and support we’ve found the little hearts matters charity amazing. Ultimately it’s your decision and that of ur partner this is purely my opinion.
