Pregnancy Info HOME

Dear All,
This is Addy. I posted my story after my baby's heart also revealed a focus. All of my doctors dismissed it, telling us there was nothing to worry about as nothing else showed up abnormal on the Wk 20 US. Like the doctors, everyone around me also told me to enjoy my pregnancy and not worry. I can say that it was impossible for me...while there were days (even wks) when it didn't consume me, there was never a day I did not think about the health of our baby. I am happy to report she was born healthy this Monday. We did not know what we were having so another wonderful surprise. I feel like my wonderful life can start all over now with this precious addition. I too cannot tell you not to worry (it is impossible), but I can tell you to ask your drs many questions to try and make it as anxiety free as possible. Also, note that this was never mentioned to me by the pediatrician or by my doctors once during this 3 day stay - when I questioned some of the staff after her birth, they didn't appear to even know what I was worried about. I think we just have way too much info and drs have too many worries to withhold information from pts. Enjoy - new life is such a miracle. All my love
