Hi all,
Need to talk need to write it all down.
on 4th November i went into labour at home and didnt make it to hospital. My son was born at home an unplanned breech cord round neck x3.
A week and a half later after noticing twitching and weight loss we went to hospital to be told he was having seizures. A few days later we found out he had had two bleeds on the brain at birth. They appeared to have stopped but they could not tell us what the future held.
In this time his weight has gone down up down up.
Then we got a severe thrush rash on his bum which got infected.
Then we gained weight phew!
This week we have found out he has a umilical hernia, hes not smiling so apparently we are to be worried, he doesnt look at objects in anyway so apparently we are to be worried. Also he had only gained 2oz in a week.
He was 6 14 at birth and at almost 7 weeks he is now 7lb 1oz.
We are now labelled failure to thrive.
Tonight his leg twitched again now could of been on a nerve so keeping an eye on him but could be fitting again.
I really dont think i can take this anymore. No one helps me they just tell me he is not gaining weight enough, they tell me they cant tell what the future holds and i sit here worried sick.
Its getting to the stage i dont want to be near him because im frightened i will find another problem.
Oh yeah and i have a 19 month old who wont sleep without daddy so im on my own everynight.
:(
