Worried, any info please.

My son was born 2 weeks ago and he still has this bump on his head. I delivered via c-section and i dont understand why he would have a bump on his head. I never went into my labor as far as having to push, i was only 4cm dialated when they had to do an emergency c-section becuase his heart rate was dropping and my contractions were to strong for him and because the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck. What could have caused this? The doctor told me it could have been from pushing but I never did push. I was just laying in the bed and I had got the epidural like an hour before the c-section. I have an appointment next friday to see if it went down but it hasn't and it really has me nervous and depressed. Should i worry? Or will it go away? Have any of you ladies experienced this?

Do you have a pic of it?

I wouldnt begin to know with out seeing it.
It may have been though where he was down toward the birth canal!!!

no, but when he goes to the doctor again I would just ask to reasure that is nothing. I had a c-section but she came out ass first.

My daughter had a small bump on her head until she was hmm maybe 2 months old. I had a c-section but she was engaged and was pressing on my pelvic bones. That is the reason my OB told me... maybe your son was the same way?

Is there any way you can post a pic so I can see? So that way it's easy for me to see how is head is for me to try and help.

I have to look for my camera my cell phone camera is not working. Give me a few minutes to post a pic of it. The bump is soft though not hard.

Here are some pics. Sorry took so long, baby got hungry and needed to be changed and put back to sleep, But he still awake!


This is the other side that does not have the bump.
Sorry if they are too big.

Oh wow!! I havent seen anything like that on an older baby. Hes 2 weeks old? I would call the DR and see if they could get him in sooner!! I would be scared to death  

I hope all is well!!!

I know! I am scared. He is 2 weeks old. The doctor set me up to see her in two weeks to see if it went down but it hasn't. Damn! Should i go to the emrgency?

Oh wow, I never seen that before, reason why I ask for pic is b/c when my son was born, he got a cone head lol...so I thought it would look somewhat like that but not even close. I would be scare as hell if I were you. Try to get him in the dr asap.

No I would maybe just try to call L&D and see if maybe they can tell ya if stuff like that happens. It could be something that happens alot I have NO clue! Try not to freak out!!

It really has me depressed. All the doctors that saw him said it was from labor. I would say about 3 doctors saw him when i was recovering at the hospital and they said it was from me pushing. i had to keep tellingthem i didn't push. we went tohis pediatric doctor who brought other doctors to check it and theysaid the same thing but to come back in2 weeks to see if it went down. It is still the same. I am so worried now iam in tears. Should i just call to come in sooner? his doctor said she is bookedso i would have to change i guess to another doctor but i feel like they willtoo tell me the same thing.

if I were you, try to go to many dr as you can, and eventually one dr will care and will be moreeee concern about baby. Is the spot hard or soft?

Its soft, like liquid. That is why the doctors were not too concerned because it is soft. They were feeling on it alot and told me not to worry but how can I not worry.

Try not to be upset (I know its hard) Just maybe call teh ER and ask them what you should do in the morning. I mean if its been there for 2 weeks then 1 more night wont hurt anything. Maybe if you take him to the ER tomorrow they can Xray it or cat scan it to see what it is. They usually will do more with something like this then Dr's will
