Her specialist appointment is today..

I am going to more than likely need alot of support and kind words later on today. I can't begin to think what i will do if this Dr tells me something is wrong with my baby. I am having 2 issues looked at, first her belly button and the second her feet. I have had this constant feeling of butterflies and my stomach feels like its in knots :(

Gee if im this bad with just the consultation could you imagine what ill be like if she needs to have surgery :o

Hugs to you - hope it works out OK.

Massive :hug: hun, think positive thoughts, drink plenty of water and just remember how beautiful & happy she is :)

We are back from our appointment and i am one worry wart of a mummy! :lol: The specialist we saw was absolutely lovely. He did agree that the whole was rather big but he said when he pushed in further it felt as though it is on its way to closing. He said in most cases the hole gets bigger before it closes. He said that 80-90% of umbilical hernias close up completely before they are 3. But he is confident that she will be just fine. He said all her organs are in their right place and don't seem bothered.

I mentioned her lack of interest in food and her weight and he bluntly said, not rudely or anything but said she is completely fine and doesn't appear to look unhealthy and her eating habits will get better in time she is just too busy playing to worry about eating. He said we have done a great job with her so far and that she is "one very cute perfectly healthy little girl" he said she is very smart too that was after DP asked her to put rubbish in the bin and she clapped afterwards.

I also brought up her feet which he noticed that her left foot turns in, he's a little concerned and has asked we get a referral to an orthapedic specialist but would like us to wait atleast another 6 months incase it sorts itself out.

I am SO relieved and can finally stop worrying!!

Thanks for all your support :grouphug:

fantastic news xxx

Fantastic news LMS sounds like you are very loving mummy with a happy healthy girl to show for it

My first daughter had an umbilical hernia which closed on its own by the time she was 2.5yrs and she also had positional talipes (this is when the baby is born with both her feet turning inwards due to lack of room and her postion in the uterus) I saw a paediatric physio a couple of times who gave me some small exercise to do but she said once she started walking and running it would more than likely right itself, which it did. The paed also suggested taking her to the beach regularly as the sand forces them to keep their feet turned outwards. Just thought Id share our story as we had a great outcome without needing any surgery

I also had positional talipes when I was born but mine was more severe than my DD I had to wear a special boot at night when I was little but my foot is fairly normal now and I can run on it etc although I am very unco but that isn't only a problem with my foot, Im just terrible all round with co-ordination lol.

Awesome news!! So happy for you!
