[quote=Anonymous]I was and still in same boat. I actually switched jobs from one that was 5 mins from my home and very relaxed to a consulting job that was an hour and half away, and had to move homes to a much smaller house as well for this, all during my 2nd trimester of pregnancy. Lost all support network that would have been in my older job and community. The job actually required travel as well and I was stressed out due to worry about travel with baby. Had preeclampsia and DS was born at 36 weeks. He was in daycare since he was few weeks old, and he suffered around 10 infections in his first year. Then all language delays, food aversions, sensory issues, delayed physical movements, anxiety, tantrums manifested. Went on for years and we worked on one after the other. Every time I saw another healthy thriving child with no issues, I cringed at my pregnancy & early parenting mistakes.
As things are getting better in retrospect pregnancy & early parenting still matter a lot, but I understand that is not the only cause. Now I can clearly see how DH had some of these issues as well, he used to tell me that from the beginning, but I was adamant it was me and my poor choices. 
Ont thing I have realized is it is never too late to become a better parent, even if you have to make mistakes to get there. And your child needs you, so living in the past is a disservice to them.[/quote]
