curve in baby's spine

[3plus2isme]

someone please talk me down.

baby girl is 12 days old and from day 1 out of the hospital we noticed she has a pretty obvious outward curve about 2/3's of the way down her spine. i've been distracted getting used to life with 3 and have pushed it out of my mind because i knew we were going to the pedi at 2 weeks old.

well, tomorrow is the appt and i'm terrified of what they'll find. i'm trying so uber hard not to google - dh literally snapped the lap top shut earlier when i was on it trying to find something "normal" that it could be.

i feel like a new mom - everything is worrying me this time

Let us know how it goes. It doesn't seem possible but most people find that the worry and unknown part is harder than the known. That's been true here even when the reality has been all I feared.

So your appointment is today? Who are you seeing?

I'm happy to report that she's all good

He says it's totally normal and he sees it all the time... phew.


Who would have thought I'd be more paranoid with baby#3 than I was with baby#1?!?!!

[sbgrace]

I'm glad she's ok! Did he say what it was/why it appeared that way?

[KatWrangler]

That is good news.

I would keep an eye on it. If your Mommy instinct says something is wrong, see another Doctor for a 2nd opinion.

Speaking as a mother of 5.... I know how much my children mean to me and I know about so many more things to worry about than I did the first time around.

I am glad he says she is healthy.
