Answer 2

I am so sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I am not sure what the name is but I wanted to add some words of encouragement. With my 3 child at my second trimester ultrasound I was told that my son had a severe deformity. I had ultrasounds every month and even had a specialist come in a tell me there was basically no hope. I was sad at first but later accepted it. The day I gave birth to my son the room was filled with all kinds of specialist ready to  work on my baby and take him to the NICU. After he came out I was not allowed to hold him I couldn't even see him I just kept asking "how bad is it".  He turned out to fine. All of the ultrasounds were wrong.

Answer 3

It is possible that the baby has a condition called Acrania,, or Anencephaly. the baby develops but the bones around the head do not..

This condition is a result of several things, one thing that can lead to it is a lack of folic acid, as it is a neural tube defect.

VERY VERY sorry to hear about your sad news, someone close to me suffered the same story, best of luck to your family !, be strong for your aunt :)

take care.

Hello i do not know what that is called but i wanted to say i am so sorry for what she is going thru and that i hope the best for you and your familys and i will keep you in our prayers and hope for a miracle as they do happen i have a 2.5 year old sitting beside me watching tv that should not be here

Sorry you are going thru this and thank god she did not abort the baby and just let her know that everything happens for a reason and it was nothing she done cause i know a friend who killed her self over her little girl not making it cause she thought it was her fault

but you are in our prayers

This happened to a friend of mine and they called it a sever case of Hydrocephalis.  

I'm sorry your family has to go through this.  My bestfriend went through this 2 years ago and she survived for only a week after birth.  

This is no joke!!  So please, anyone that answers, take into consideration that this woman has already felt her baby move and has already connected with it.  And now has to come to realization that the baby is probably not going to be here for much longer.  And even if she did decide to terminate this late in pregnancy (not for selfish reasons, but the child will have no quality of life if it did live) she would have to deliver it.
