[quote=Anonymous]How open were you about it with other people? My baby was born with an obscure medical condition. She is mostly fine but may have a few things to deal with as time goes on. I am finding myself feeling strange about whether or not to share details with various people. I don’t want to hide the issues as I’m definitely not ashamed or reluctant to discuss them, but I also don’t want to over share. It is just so common for everyone to say mom and baby are healthy, and although that is mostly true for us, it doesn’t feel fully honest. For distant acquaintances there is obviously no need to share, but what about close coworkers, somewhat distant family members, etc.? My mom had even suggested I send a mass email to the family at some point with info on the medical condition, but that just seemed like a bad idea to me. So I’m curious what others have done in this type of situation.[/quote]
