Callum has bloodshot eyes, which is in a ring around his pupil. SBCU told me it was due to pressure from labour. How long does it take to disappear? TIA

yeah, it stayed in a ring round the pupil but gradually started to fade and then ended up going into s semicircle right back into a little dot. im sure it was a good 3 weeks

none of my other babies had this, so didn't know if it was anything to worry about. At least I know now its defo. down to the pressure and will disappear.

i panicked with mine as i hadnt seen it before with any of the rest of them. but the doc told me it was def down to the pressure in the birth canal.
