It turns out I wasn't crazy to be worried.
I wish I was.
The short story: Saw a perinatologist. He couldn't find a bladder or kidneys. Told him the tech found a bladder. He looked at the films, but couldn't see a bladder. Tech was probably wrong. Perinatologist will see me on Monday, but it's looking pretty grim. No bladder and kidneys=some renal condition whose name I can't remember right now.
If this is true, the baby can't live outside the womb. I will have to go into labor to deliver, but won't get a live baby at the end of it.
I can't imagine this post sucking any more than it does right now, so I think I'll stop.

I hope the tech was wrong. Fingers crossed for you. I will be thinking of you on Monday.
Oh Lord, Ann- how scary! I hope Monday brings better news..
*hugs* hang in there...
I'm crying here. Your post brought back bad memories.
This is exactly what happened to me in the most awful kind of way. An ulstrasound nightmare....
That moment where the room goes quite and then you get news that = lethal prognosis. In my case it was instantly unambiguous, in your case you have to wait some more.
I'm so beyond sorry.
I, oh my g-d, how I hope that your baby doesn't have bilateral renal agenesis....because you're right about what would happen if it is so.
Ann, nobody deserves this kind of heartache, especially after infertility.
I don't know what else to say....

Ann, I'm so, so sorry. Just so sorry. And I'm sorry that you have to wait until Monday for the follow up.
You're in my thoughts during this difficult time.
oh Ann, I'm so sorry. i so hope that Monday can somehow turn things around.
thinking of you.
Thinking of you and your baby. And hoping the dr was wrong and the tech right. Good luck this weekend and Monday
Oh Ann, I will be thinking of you this weekend and hoping for better news on Monday.
i know words can't bring you any peace right now, but please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
There are no words to say. I'm just so sorry...
I have been reading your blog for months but haven't ever had the courage to comment. Your blogs on your infertility and pregnancy has always given me hope at my own success. I can't begin to express how sad I am to read this latests news. Please know that you are in my thoughts and my prayers. I hope with all my heart that Monday will be filled with good news.
I can't think of anything to add other than my sorrow to the pile. What a terrible terrible thing. I'm thinking of you and your husband.
Came over from Sticky Bun... I just wanted to say how very sorry I am that you've had this awful scary news. I really pray that Monday brings good news and that it was all a mistake and your little one will be just fine. x
Well I'm praying they're dead wrong. They told me mine didn't have a heart beat and were going to give me a shot, but I didn't let them, and I have my daughter now! So just pray that they're morons and don't know how to read film right!
I'm so sorry you are going through this. So very sorry.
Thinking of you x
We will all pray together that this is wrong. I am sorry you have to wait until Monday....so sorry.

Monday can't come soon enough. I truly am hoping, wishing, and insert other action that equates to Dear God let this baby have all the organs in place so s/he can go home with his or her mommy at the end of nine months!
