Bathsheba

Thanks for your reply also.

I originally said that I wasn?t going to have another for about the first 12 months after he was born as it was all still to fresh in my mind. But I really feel like he needs a sibling and I would really like to have another. I had the symptoms from about 7 months with him but being a first time mum I just thought it was my body doing the usual crazy pregnancy things. I managed to get to just before 39 weeks before I couldn?t take it anymore and went and found a new GP who new what it was strait away.

My son was born about 24 hours after seeing him. I did contact the midwifes at the local hospital a few times before that but she told me that I was reading to many books (literally) she made me feel really stupid and that I was over reacting. When I think about it now, I was stupid. Stupid for not listening to my intuition.

At least this time around I will know what is going on and what signs to look for so hopefully it would not go as long being undiagnosed. I blame myself for that because when I think back now I knew something was defiantly wrong by the 8 month mark but didn?t want to be seen as a complainer. I was such an idiot and I kick myself knowing the risk that I put my son in. I defiantly will not allow them to dismiss me this time round now that I know what I am dealing with.
