Hi. Im really worried and upset right now. Got a letter from health visitor saying she wanted to discuss my concerns I didnt know what she meant because I didnt have any concerns really because she is doing everything she should be and then some. I did mention how friends and strangers comment on my daughters tongue mostly saying aw thats so cute that she does that but have had some say it affects speech. Anyway she said aw Im sur eits fine she has said words and seems clear enough and t snot affecting her breathing or eating so dont stress and we will review it at next review to ensure it isnt affecting speech so I wasnt concerned anymore and said that.
Anyway then I got that letter and phone and the lady said the hv with me isnt in till Monday but pulled my records and asked if I had her height weight and head measured and I said I got her weight today but they didnt do the other measurements and she said she had specified getting head measured. Then she said how the concerns she is meaning is about the tongue abnormality .. I didnt think it was that big of a deal because I think its just something she does. It does go in her mouth but does band out 90% of the time. But she said how she noted she would phone to discuss the issue and now I have to wait till Monday and Im really freaking out about it. What could the issue be? Should I make a Doctors apt? I feel terrible I did say to the doctor when she was younger and he joked sh ewould grow into it but one of my friends said they dont if they still have it beyond 6 months?
I ended up googling what the concern may be and now Im ten times more upset thinking why didnt I bring this up if it is a concern more? I just thought it was normal for kids to do this?
