Page 2 | Worried about my baby daughters features

Tammy85 · 2022-09-12 20:10:18

I'm a new mum to a beautiful 1 month old baby girl. I had a normal pregnancy and the birth went as good as it could of. She weighed 7lbs 7 and we was told she was all healthy and allowed home. I did a google search which i know is not the right thing to do but I have been worried about her nose and her breathing. She has a wide big nose with flared nostrils which I have never seen on a newborn. Also inside her nose her airway is small as her nostril tissue is on the inside which fesults in her sounding stuffy all the time and sneezing a lot. I've asked multiple midwifes and the health visitor about it as I'm worried to be told she's fine. I dont know why but I just have this feeling something is not right. She does not look like any other baby ive seen or me or my OH. Nearly all babies ive seen have small button noses. Mine and my OH noses are quite small and not the shape of my daughters. Anyway Google has come up with something called pitt hopkins syndrome. I'd never beleive anything I see on Google however some of the other fascial features of this syndrome my little one has and now I've gone into meltdown and this is consuming me. I'm crying all the time I look at my daughter thinking will she have the life I imagined. I really don't know what to do as i can't stop thinking she has this. Most diagnosis are when the babies are not hitting milestones which I am going to be so paranoid now for months if she will or will not hit her milestones. I cant talk to any friends as I feel like such a bad mum but I can't help thinking what I do and after seeing the page on Google I'm now convinced my daughter has this. I really don't know what to do as it is all I can think about I feel terrible but I just have this feeling. I love her no matter what but everyone has this picture of how there baby will look and be and I just think something isn't right.
