A few days after my son was born, my mother noticed a small lump on his back. It is a tiny bit off to the side of his spine, near the top of his back. He is a week old now and it we are pretty sure the bump is getting bigger. It is about an inch or so in length and maybe half that in width and it feels sort of hard. The doctor had him have x-rays but we won't know the results for another week and i'm wondering what could it possibly be?

Hun, what was your delivery like? C-Section? Any problems? Or a perfectly normal delivery?

I was induced 2 days after my due date and was in the delievery room for nearly 24 hours. However, I didnt even start having contractions / dialting until late that evening and was only pushing for about 2 hours. He was a big baby (9lbs 11oz) but everything went perfect.

The lump on his back was where? Anywhere near a shoulder? Is he able to move both arms perfectly?

its near the top part of his back, parallel to his shoulder blades i guess and its really close to his spine ( at first my mom thought it was part of his spine). And yeah he can move both arms and everything else perfectly fine and he doesn't seem to be in any pain or anything.
