Let me preface this with the fact hes not my first so I'm not in that scary twitchy new mum phase.

I have an autoimmune disease that triggers an immune response to foetal DNA and placental tissue. It has caused issues in some of my older children inlcuding but not limited to epilepsy and Arnold chiari malformation type 1.

This child has a veey deep and long sacral dimple, he also has deep and wide dimplea on elbows, knees and shoulder blades. On one elbow it appears he has two.

I had an enormously and deeply traumatic time trying to get to the answers and diagnoses for the older children and quite simply I'm not sure I have it in me to do it all again.

Before anyone says the obvious, no he wasn't planned, I had s coil in that czme out during bis birth and was listed for a hysterectomy. It is my own personal hell to be facing down thw barrel of another beloved child damaged permanently by my body's attempts to kill them inside me.

If anyone else has experience of a heavily dimpled child and the presence or lack of a wider meaning would I be unreasonable to ask you to talk me through What may be coming so I can try to find some dregs of inner strlength to once again enter into tbe fray that is battling with disinterested doctors who cannot concede that sometimes mums do know their children best.
