Mouse - it was all a bit strange, and veryminor compared to what other people on here have gone through, but when dd2 was born she was very low on apgar and had oxygen, still very low on second check. Anyway, they gave her to me without sharing (don't think they'd noticed) that she had two thumbs on one hand. Was a bit of a shock 2 minutes later when I noticed.
Then when the dr came to see us in the hospital to look and talk about her hand he took her clothes off to look at her back and said to me he'd come to check a back problem. DP had gone to get something to eat so I was on my own and I had no idea what he was on about. He had a look but said he thought her back was ok and talked to us about plastic surgery for her hand.
It was only when we got her home and saw the HV that she looked at the notes and said they'd thought she had spina bifida because she has a very deep dimple at the top of her bum. That was a shock.
Then at the plastic surgeon visit they said that the thumb thing can be a sign of that Fanconi thing so have to have testing for that and its fairly lethal, the illness not the testing. Also she said her thumb will never be 'right', she'll need ops when shes 1 and they'll try to make one 'good' one from the 2 she has but it won't ever be exactly as it 'should'. I know its really minor but I feel so protective over her.
We've got a party on Sat and half of me doesn't want to go because I tense up waiting for someone to notice her hand. Its either mention it first myself and then I feel like I'm betraying her because shes perfect and I dont need to mention anything or wait for them to notice and 'jump'
Sorry, got a bit carried away.
And yes bumsex can rather smart
