You see a child with medical devices/tubes while in public. Do you ask the parents about it?

The few times we've taken my youngest into stores we are always asked about his tubes or his scars(if his hat is off). Like I don't mind talking about his diagnosis, but at the same time I would never approach strangers only to ask their child's medical situation.

Echogenic bowel

Baby showed echogenic bowel at 20 week scan appointment. I've been referred for further investigations to fetal medicine unit. At first it was pretty scary, but now we are trying not to worry too much until we get more information. Anyone had any similar experience before? Thanks

Harmony scan

Hey, looking for some experiences please 🤍 our midwife told us at our first appointment that we should get a harmony scan as the nhs are only 80% accurate (we don’t have any risks etc.) and I’m just not sure we need it and it’s very expensive! Please can you share if you had it or chose not to and your opinions?…

3d scan

Anyone to be in having one or has had one I didn’t have one with my first child but everyone says it’s lovely to see the babies nose and what they would look like an ultrasound direct. You can get a premium one for £130 including happy bear multiple photos and magnets I’m just wondering if it is worth it.

Newborn Hearing Screening

My LO failed his hearing screening and the follow up at the hospital. We have a follow up with an audiologist in 2 weeks. Did this happen to anyone else? He was born at 37 weeks (got stuck in my pelvis for a few hours so we went to C-section), so I’m aware it could be fluid - but they also tell me “it should hav...
