Hi Lieve, 8 yrs ago I had a woman who had an U/S at 20 wks for her 4th baby (never had one before) and there were no abnomalities picked up on examination. Subsequently, she had a lovely homebirth waterbirth and had a little boy with good weight and APGARS. He wasn't as vigorous as the other children but fed and slept well. At about 2 wks of age he was going a bit blue in the lips after a feed and when X-Rayed was found to have an undeveloped left side of the heart. At that stage the only place to get treatment was thousands of kilometres away in Melbourne and only a 50/50 chance.of survival. The parents bravely opted not to put the baby through the operation and he died at home when he was 4 weeks old. The parents were so glad he was born at home and spent most of his short life with his family, in an atmosphere of love. MM >
