[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My second son has only one (I had a though time with it found at 32 weeks after at 20 weeks they supposedly saw two). He is the light of my life, he is my last baby and is the cutest, most amazing, most brave I know. He’s like a tank in a good way and I  imagine my life without him. We’re now at yearly visits since all is well. I had a hard time (think crying nonstop for days after giving birth) calling for that first ultrasound scheduling after he was born but that’s in the past.  I adore him. See a MFM but they’ll probably be unphased. [/quote]

Op here. I did a search and I think I came across your old posts when you first found out and from when you were postpartum. Were you the poster feeling guilty that you’d “ruined your perfect family” (to quote the post) from around 2022?

Is your son completely fine otherwise now? [/quote]

Yes that sounds like what I wrote, that’s why I wanted to reply here to you because I was grieving, and I had the hardest possible time (it was so out of my control and during covid and I was dealing my then toddler but the hardest part is the uncertainty). When he was born they did an ultrasounds and they confirmed one kidney, I had another breakdown I had a panic attack I broke out in hives my c section started bleeding. And he’s now two and just amazing, the only time time I think about it is when he has a fever and I have to give him Tylenol that’s not as strong as ibuprofen (even though doctor said it’s fine to give either). He did more frequent ultra sounds all is fine, when he has fever I worry about UTI but of course a strep comes positive.

He is just perfect though not sure if it’s because he’s my last baby but he looks, acts, and just is like a little angel (even his tantrums are adorable lol). I love him to bits and pieces and those thoughts I had then are gone, they just slowly go away over time.

But all to say I get that sense of loss. If nothing else seems wrong, if doctors don’t  see anything else, if you did the NIPT, truly he’ll be okay. And you’ll love him and protect him tremendously. I have a supportive partner who let me feel my feelings so that also helped.

Hang in there, it’s hard but not impossible. [/quote]
