Please pray for me and my baby.

I am having my surgery on Tuesday by Dr. Nath and Dr. Shenaq on Tuesday July 8th. I had a car accident April 6th of this year and I was 17 weeks pregnant. My little angel survived, but when I need my hand the most this happened. This is my first baby and I don't know how I will take care of her. God please give the opportunity to move my arm and hand again to be able to take care of my little girl.

Hi guest, there have been a few new parents posting recently, here's a thread from a while back with some good advice and a couple of new mum contacts http://ubpn.org/messageboard/thread ... hread=5516
Try not to worry too much, the surgery will hopefully help you but during recovery time (which can take a long time) I'm sure you will manage. Don't forget to post here if you have any parenting questions, there are quite a few one handed parents out there :0)
All the best Jen NZ

i'm expecting my first baby in august. had a bpi for 5 years and have difficulties with my other arm. its a really scary but exciting time. i have bought a few things that i hope will help - baby buckets etc. i hope you will have some support (i'm a single parent). good luck and feel free to mail me if you like - tinapb@hotmail.com
dont let others put doubt in your mind - its so easy to have your confidence knocked. i was really worried about breast feeding but saw a specialist today and now i'm quite excited about it. if i dont succeed it wont be because of my injuries and any other new mum would have had the same problem.
be brave - hope the pain is ok

Blessings to you and your little angel.
I hope your surgery is successful, but you know, all your baby needs is your love - when she's older, it won't matter to her if you do things slightly differently for her than other Mums would do - I am sure she will just be happy that you and she survived the crash.
My father had a deformed hand from falling into a fire as a young toddler.
His hand was always that way, my entire life - it never mattered to us children, even when he found things difficult to do because of it, we just found a way to do them together.
You are already a wonderful Mum - try and remember that. None of us gets a handbook with these babies, we all learn by our mistakes lol
good luck
