my son was dx with Mild Unilateral Ventriculomegaly while in the womb. we had ultra sounds every month to check the dilation in his brain. everything seemed to be fine & we had him & it he was beautiful & perfect.
now 7 months later & several GOOD trips to the neurologist (saying he was fine) i'm faced with constant worry. I cant look at my son without thinking "what if something is wrong" his pedi said is about 2 months delayed with motor skills. It sucks tho because i'm a SAHM & so I see him all day & see what he does & he does so much that is good, but then other times I analyze what he's not doing & it's breaking my heart constantly thinking something's wrong.
He's not rolling over (i know that happens later for some babies)
He's still fisting quite a bit.when he trys to grab a toy he does a good job, he just is still trying to figure out that he can spread those fingers to hold it good. but this is the weird part, you help him old a sippy cup & he will hold on to that thing forever. he's a ham.
When we go out he just lays there in the carseat & doesnt really care too much about what's going on around him. He's a very chill relaxed baby (just like how his father was .. so said my MIL) but i see so many other babies around me that are his age or younger & they are so much more social & curious & want to go after the toys. he doesnt really care about them.
He will grab my hair & my face & smile & giggle so much, it's just certain things I see I worry about.
Am I alone in this? Are there other parents out there who have gone through the same thing?
I think I worry WAY more because of the issues (that are supposedly gone now) when we were first pregnant & I cant get that anxiety & worry out of my head.
Thanks so much for any feedback
