Bladder Exstrophy

Had my 20 week scan a couple of weeks ago and everything was normal but they couldn’t see the bladder. The radiographer was very nice and said the baby probably had a wee and booked me in for a repeat scan. This led to going to fetal medicine today and being told the baby has bladder exstrophy, which means the baby’s bladder is on the outside of its body. We are completely devastated. Has anyone any experience of this? If occurs in 1 in 40,000 babies so I’m not hopeful!

Sorry to hear this. Have no experience myself but can they do an operation shortly after birth to put it back in? Have heard of this being done with other organs/intestines etc. Hope all goes well Flowers
