Ct scans on baby’s 🩺🩻

My child is only 7 weeks old and at a toddler group a child decided to come and kick my child in the head

Since then we have been in the A&E department

I wanted to know if anyone else has gone through this or have had to give their kids CT scans and how you felt about the situation or radiation that comes with it

Would help my anxiety currently 🙏🫶🏻🩻

I'm a radiographer in the UK. I used to work in paediatrics. If the doctor has discussed the risks Vs benefits with you then hopefully this has put your mind at rest.

The amount of radiation is kept as low as possible whilst providing a diagnostic Image. In recent years technology has advanced so much and we're able to see even more with even less radiation.

I have no advice but I just wanted to say I am so sorry that happened to you and your baby 😭 I hope baby is okay ♥️ and I really hope that child got in trouble from their mom for that. That is unacceptable.

Early symptoms

Would love to hear everyone’s early symptoms. I’m around 4 weeks and not really have many besides feeling bloated. When I was pregnant with my daughter I had Covid so I was just miserable in general

Baby is here!

Baby boy arrived on his planned c section date of 13th august but via spontaneous labour, waters breaking, over a day of contractions and taking forever and a day to dialate. Born 9lbs 5 ounces at 39 weeks and 3 days. My Vbac was deffinately a very different experience from my c section.

Family Traditions.

So i grew up in a household that didn’t celebrate holidays for religious purposes. When i was old enough, I didn’t partake in the religion. We actually stopped attending when i was about 10 years old. Now that i have a daughter i want to start traditions. With the upcoming holiday season approaching, i would love to hear your family traditions. Some things i can google but hearing from real families, would be better.

1st Birthday Party

We can’t decide whether to have a 1st birthday party for our baby boy or not? I just feel like it would be the easiest and best way for all of our family to see him (as I know everyone will want too) but I also can’t decide whether I’d rather we just spent the day together as a family of 3 ❤️
Will we then regret not having a party? 😭
Any advice would be much appreciated thanks x
