When we hear the words, “I see a problem with your baby,” everything seems to come crashing down. We’ve included some of the most commonly asked questions we get related to CDH pregnancies and the more medical side of having a CDH baby.

While it might not come as naturally in a hospital setting, it is definitely possible to have a beautiful relationship with your CDH baby while they are in the NICU.

If I can give you any advice, keep an open mind and remember that it’s okay if your CDH journey doesn’t go 100% according to plan. If a G-tube is needed, view it as a valuable resource and know that it helps your baby meet with success. Also, never stop advocating for your CDH baby. Ask medical professionals and lactation consultants any questions you may have along the way.
