‘Fixer Upper’ Star Joanna Gaines’ Ultrasound Reveals Potential Medical Problem
January 5, 2018Fixer Upper star Chip and Joanna Gaines recently announced their pregnancy, but a newly released sonogram of the unborn baby is causing concern among fans.
Via TMZ:
Joanna posted video of the ultrasound Wednesday after the couple announced they’d soon be welcoming their fifth kid. Fixer Upper fans speculated something was wrong with the images, because of excess fluid around the fetus. They’ve been commenting that the condition appears to mimic hydrops fetalis, a sometimes fatal condition.
Radiologist Nicole Saphier — who practices at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center — tells us there does appear to be skin edema (excess fluid in the skin).
