I’m 28 weeks and found out my little guy needs heart surgery after he’s born.

I’ve been crying and I’ve been so depressed since finding out. I know I need to stay strong but it’s so hard because they said he’ll have to be in the nicu the first month. I’m trying not to be sad so those chemicals don’t go to the baby.

If anyone’s had experience with coarctation of the aorta and their baby please let me know how things went.

His left side of his heart is also smaller than it should be so I’m praying it keeps growing these last few months so he doesn’t need complete open heart surgery.

It’s already hard enough because the dad doesn’t want to be involved and now this happens and it saddens me that my baby boy has done nothing to deserve any of this.

I could really use positive words or prayers.
