We just found out at 25 weeks through a fetal echocardiogram that our baby (still not finding out the sex!) has d-TGA. I will be getting set up with a specialist team at a larger hospital an hour away from where we live which is adjacent to a children’s hospital with NICU and they are currently planning the surgery for a few days after baby’s birth.

Anyone have any advice on recovery or have other children at home? How did you tell them? Our son will be almost 5 when this special baby is born, but my husband and I aren’t sure how to explain everything and why it will uproot our lives drastically for a month or two immediately after birth.

I will also be recovering from a c-section at this time, so any advice on how to handle my own health while supporting our new child is welcome! ❤️
