I had my fourth baby last week. There's been lots of talk of her dad's genetic duplication but nothing on getting her tested. See the genetatsist next month but she has the sacral dimple both my sen boys have and her dad has. I have no idea if the dimple is linked to the gene but I can't help feel sad that I might be face ing another child who isn't going to be full of wonder and questions and asking why all the time.
All the other mums on the maternity ward with their chatting two year olds made me feel so sad as my two year old has only learned his fourth word this week - milk :0(
I have been told to just wait and see but can I just feel a bit sad? Can't I be be entitled to have emotions about yet another childhood that's less than ideal? I just want to have a to idler sit on my knee while I read to them or tell me they love me. Not to much to ask surely?
