hi
has anyone had any experiance of a cephalo hematoma? we were told the lump on our baby's head was a 'Caput Succedaneum' when he was born, due to pressure while being born. told it would be between daus and 2 weeks to go away an nothing to worry about.
however today he had his day 5 check and the midwife who came the house said it was a cephalo hematoma not a Caput Succedaneum. :That it will take months to go away and this is a different thing and seems potentially a slightly more serious birth injury with more risk of complication or so google says. I'm now pretty upset and freaked out as this isdifferent from what we were told in the hospital.
anyone else had this and was it ok? Do I need to contact the hospital to get them to confirm which it is as they are two different injuries, thanks
