Living with uncertainty In her third trimester with Hugo Helene felt a strange movement an erratic kick that reminded her of young children with epilepsy. It was something shed never felt before with Wilhelm or his older sister. The doctors told her it was the baby hiccupping. Hugo was born on December . At six hours old he had his first seizure. Helenes suspicions were right Hugo had epilepsy. He turned around and walked eight steps proving the doctors wrong. He went on to not only walk but run Hugo spent the first six months of his life in hospital. To make the familys trauma worse Mobile App Development Service his medical team became suspicious that Mikk was shaking Hugo. Thats still in my husbands head today Helene says. In some ways you are afraid to go to the hospital. Helene remembers having her parenting monitored by the team. It was the most horrible thing Ive ever gone through she says. Fear of judgement is something Jewitt hears in her conversations with the many families she tries to reassure. For some parents its feeling like people dont believe them and being called an overanxious mother she says. Others who dont come from privileged backgrounds might feel like they are being judged of hope for the family.
