feeling really depressed :(

At my 20 week scan I found out my baby has clubfoot so I tryed to stay positive for my partner but had the second scan after that 20 week scan to tell us more information which broke my heart I have seen the consultant last week and started feeling positive again but now it has sunk it that it is gunna take a min of 5 years to sort I don't know how I'm going to do it :'( I just want to cry all the time and I dont want to tell the family how I am truly feeling as I don't want the sympathy from them I have a 3year old boy and he is becoming a nightmare at the moment. So I just feel like I'm going to fail our little girl who has clubfoot I just don't know how to deal with it anymore it's so hard and it's nit helping that I'm only 19years old and I feel like this :'(

You'll have to be strong for the baby. Stressing will only make things worse. Pray on it, your baby will be as perfect as any other baby. Think POSITIVE!

Hey I'm sorry your going through this, just stay positive. And remember that does have treatment. If it's treated her whole childhood she will be able to walk normal, you're baby is a blessing no matter how she comes. I'll be praying for you stay strong and positive.

It's not as bad as so many of the possible things that could be wrong.  Some casts the for several months to a couple years is usually all it takes.  Your 3 year old is feeding off of your emotions.  Kids are very in tune with parents emotions and he's feeling your vibes.  The best thing you can do is be grateful that besides needing a little bit of correction you have a healthy baby! Try and relax,  Your 3 year old will also chill.  It'll all be ok!
