Hey, just wondering if there were any other mums out there with babies who are in similar circumstances. Wasn’t expecting to spend the first year of my baby's life like this and hoping it won’t affect him too much would find relief in other progress experiences and chats when it’s all too much haha.
Hi Tink_
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and, although I'm not a member of this group, I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and proposed treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
Hey lovely, you’re definitely not alone in this! So many mums find themselves navigating unexpected circumstances in their baby’s first year, and it’s completely understandable to worry about how it might affect them. But babies are incredibly resilient, and the love and care you’re giving will always shine through.
If you ever need to vent, share a little win, or just chat with others who get it, I hope you find comfort in knowing there’s a whole community out here for you. You’re doing an amazing job, even on the hardest days! Sending strength and hope your way.
