A little scared

[Spooncat]

I can understand what you are feeling - we were told at my 20 scan that Kaitlyn had a serious heart defect - they were right- what i would say is if you do go and do research on the internet be careful you might scare yourself even more - i would suggest asking questions directly of your medical team if anything is worrying or confusing you - very often they wont properly know until your baby is born so try ( i know impossible) not to worry - come back here anytime if you want a chat or moan etc someone will always be here to listen to your concerns , i wish u and baby all the luck in the world , kayx

What a lovely response, sums it all I think. Try not to worry too much as already said; they won't know how it will affect lo until he's born.

Thinking of you,

I don't have any advice/experience on this, but I do think what the doctors are telling you is very, very encouraging. Sending you loads of positive energy, well wishes and will keep the baby in my prayers. I'm sure it will all be OK. xx Victoria

Hi,

I just want to let you know that my 24 year old cousin has a form of spina Bifida. He has many operations, but basically now lives a normal life. Nolonger can drink (booze) as if something has he has no feeling in his left foot.

Good luck, my aunt has been very on top of everything with him and doctors.

Another pluss is i know his legs work fine because the little love is practicing to be a footballer on me

I have been reading up about everything and i am a lot more relaxed, i dont think there is going to be anything wrong with him that we cant learn to cope with.

Thank you all so much for the hugs, they really do make me feel a bit better.

Thank you

Aw pet just reading this post. So sorry to hear your news but you sound alot more positive about it all now, that is good that he is using his legs, listen to the advice you get from your medical team they will be the best people to speak to.

Good luck and I hope it all works out
