Sorry, had no idea what to call this thread!
Don't really know what I'm going to say either till I get going, but I accidently started something on the ante-natal thread and realised that it's best suited to special needs.
Really what I want to ask and know from you is, when you were pregnant, and you already had a child with special needs, how did the imminent birth of this new child make you feel?
Did the fact that this new child would walk and talk and just do stuff of their own accord scare you? Were you daunted?
I think I am. I suddenly felt a bit weird when I thought of a child runnign around my house. I mean, Lottie is so... unobtrusive. She's so easy in so many ways. I know teaching her everything and still having to do so much is supposed to be hard work and yeah it is really, but it's all i know, it's what we do, it's how it is.
I walked into my bedroom the other day and she was standing up at my bedside and it looked weird! And I thought to myself 'ohh, that looks odd'. We're so used to this, 4 years of our little bum shuffler, 4 yrs of not having conversations etc.
I know it will all be ok, it'll be wonderful and everything will be fine, of course it will, but.... I just want to know if you felt similar emotions at any stage and it would be really nice to hear how it all turned out and well, whatever you feel you'd like to share with me really.
Thanks, TC x

SN children
One of your children has SN's, you're pregnant, not expecting that child to have SN's, how do you feel?
