But don't be too hard on yourself!

I'm wondering if they are as lost as I was knowing their lives would never be as they imagined, searching for someone else who understood. While DQ was diagnosed in utero and I discussed everything with my OBs and my primary OB has a niece who had a heart transplant as a toddler, they still didn't have anything they could offer me. They didn't understand heart defects. They couldn't tell me who to talk to, they just didn't know. So, I wondered about that as well. Was the woman dressed in business clothes, accompanied by her husband, there to make an alternate birth plan? Did she desperately want to talk to someone who understood? I will never know and can only hope those women who do follow us, will find the heart community quicker than I did if they need it.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11148983594692927783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988524040957212858.post-58010595604037869852011-04-19T09:03:27.975-04:002011-04-19T09:03:27.975-04:00Oh how I can so relate to this post.

Except because I didn't know while I was pregnant with Logan that he had heart defects it is different. I sit there looking around at all of the other pregnant women thinking do they have a heart baby too that they are unaware of because of my OB office's practices? It make same angry.<br /><br />I don't think there is going back after what we have been through. I think we are forever changed by this journey. In some ways for the better and as you know fully well in some ways for the not so better. It is a journey for sure...one with our child and one we are on with ourselves ever evolving throughout it.Stefeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04278714232697499851noreply@blogger.com
