Using Ultrasound And Mri Can Health Of The Baby Found?
im 37 weeks pregnant today and an ultrasound and mri taken about 2 weeks ago due to the baby being big....have shown my baby has a non active ivh with the right ventricular being dilated 24mm. There does not appear to be brain damage, and the hemorrhage is contained within the ventricle. Is there a chance of my baby being OK

Good day!
Thank you for asking. Right ventricular dilation with hemorhage means there is something wrong. Brain and any thing inside cranium is unpredictable. if the drainage is done in time and properly shunted your baby will be fine provided there is no recurrence. As intraventriclar pressure rise needs work up and sorting out etiology for that.
Keep the fingers crossed and hope for the best and stay in touch in case intra uterine resuscitation is required.
Take care
