what is your funniest paranoid mummy moment?

[chapsmum]

here's your starter for ten...
My ds was 2 weeks old when he caught a cold. I was in the shower steaming the poor soul stripped to his nappie!!
Anyway found a lum on his chest, right under his nipple, had no mumnet so i PANICKED
marched to the local childrens a and e where i made very neurotic notes of all his vital signs, then rhymed of his bowel habits for last 4 days,temp pattern etc etc
So Im waiting for the diagnosis and the doctor is laughing, laughing, this is really serious, he has a lump on his chest!
Actually your little chap has breasts, BREASTS
ive never been so embarrased!
/untill the next week when i didn't realise the swelling in his groin was a testicle, I think i delivered my common sence with my placenta!!
Someoe make me feel beter

oh jaundice was all mine did have, so very minor in the scheme of things, but still scary at the time!

NOTHING is minor when your little baby is ill and needs to go to hospital...it's horrible. I'm just glad my two are very robust now! Apart from Christy's strawberry mark and the odd cold they're as healthy as anything. At one point they thought Christy (DS2) had cystic fibrosis. That was a very black couple of weeks...but I do sometimes think about the people who don't get the all clear

oh gosh how stressful for you. i remember when we were in the children's hospital, I thought - it's unpleasant enough when it's unlikely there is anything much wrong - so how much worse for those with seriously ill children.

There was a programme on TV last night about a little girl who has got a condition which gradually turns all her muscles and tendons into bone. She was just a very nice ordinary woman but she had had to turn into this tower of strength and bravery for her little girl. I don't know if I could. Being a normal parent is quite hard enough for me
