Doesn't it suck how much we moms automatically jump to the worst case scenario? Like with Mikki's constant pain/crying, I just kept crying thinking things like "What if she swallowed a piece of hair, it wrapped around an intestine and she'll need surgery?" Where did that come from????
I've been praying for you and, especially, little Abbey. What is your gut saying? Does she appear to be thriving on just your milk now?
*hug* And happy birthday, mama =) (That's what the icon is for - not to "celebrate" all the worry and stress.)
That is kind of random. ;) At first, I was just worried about not being able to breastfeed, which is kind of the "middle of the road" scenario, as some people with metabolic disorders are ok. But, I've read a little more, and it seems that many of these disorders can be fatal.
But I see what you mean, I'm probably just worrying needlessly. The nurse who took the urine sample didn't bother cleaning abbey's vulva, which had an herbal diaper ointment on it. I didn't think about it at the time, but I really think that would skew the results if the ointment got into the urine. And that's probably what happened.
