From 20weeks I had issues with my pregnancy, being told my daughters head & stomach was too small. We did get told this could mean she might have brain damage, but we decided we’d love our daughter regardless of any conditions she may or may not have. After what felt like a million scans and appointments, my gorgeous daughter was born into the world 7th of June, weighing 4lbs 10oz. Spent 11days in nicu and just before we left they discovered a heart murmur. After having a follow up appointment a couple of months later, she had a heart scan which showed parts of her heart were smaller than usual, but it wasn’t a massive concern. 3months later (today) we go in for another check up, the doctor takes one look at my daughter and starts to say about her eyes, how one is slightly bigger than the other. I’d noticed it before, but never thought it was an issue. This and a couple of other things has made the doctor concerned there may be an underlying problem and she started to talk about chromosome abnormalities and I knew exactly what this could mean for my daughter. I couldn’t hold in the tears, and I could feel myself getting worked up and upset. After talking through what the next step would be, which would be blood tests and more appointments we got our daughter ready to leave. The amount of things that were going through my head at this point was overwhelming, a million unanswered questions, disbelief this was happening to us as I thought we’d have some good new from the appointment and uncertainty for my daughters future. The fact my daughter is behind on her development is hard, but now this on top feels like a tonne of bricks has been put on my shoulders. Why does life have to be so cruel!? If anyone else’s baby has the same issue I’d really love to chat, as honestly I could do with someone who knows what I’m going through to speak to. Please pray for my daughter.
