Cerebral Palsy

Thank you, I have been speaking loud this time, the doctor does want to do numerous tests this time. I am nervous about what others will think because i dont want them thinking christopher is on hold now or anything. How do i deal with others?

sorry to hear about your baby u have to be strong not only for u but for your two babies the unborn and your 23 month old they need you to be well mentally ,emotionally and physically.
     I have a 10 month old with a grade 3 bleed and a VP shunt i have a fear of finding out that my daughter might have C.P sometimes i catch myself on websites reading about the symptoms of C.P and my husband gets upset with me, i guess its a natural thing for a mom to have many different worries when having a baby with medical conditions.. don't worry you came this far you will do well good luck and don't stress yourself you have a baby inside

What others think is going to be the least of your worries in pregnancy. I am sure many people had things to say when I got pregnant with my little guy. I never pushed Nia aside because I had another child. To this day each of my three kids is equally demanding in their own ways and somehow I juggle it. You will too. I wish you the best.

I did the same thing when Nia was little. I actually brought up the conversation first with the therapist about CP. Nia did eventually get a CP diagnosis just before her second birthday. It was a hard pill to swallow because it meant she would never grow to be a typical child. She is five now and doing great. We are lucky her CP is mild. She does almost everything that other kids do and with age she is closing the gap more and more. I can't tell you not to worry because you will anyways. Just know that no matter what happens you will handle it. There is plenty of support out there both financially and emotionally. Best Wishes.

Thank you all for the support. You have no idea how much it means to have other people who know what I am going through and that are there no mat ter what. So again thank you!
