I know this has nothing to do with herpes but this site has been a big support factor for me. My baby girl is only 6 and has to wear a hearing aide. The nerve in her left ear is not exactly right due to it being a birth defect. She has lost part of her hearing. I blame myself because I carried her and she was born with it. I feel like such a failure. I hate myself for doing that to her. I know I couldn't control how she developed but it still my fault at the end of the day. I wish I could take it from her. I don't want her to go deaf.

it is NOT your fault. it's just another test like HSV is a test. it would be your fault if you didn't take care of her and love her as a normal person!

I just wish I could take it from her and let me wear the hearing aide. I'm a big girl and can take it. But you're right a-survivor. I want her to have a normal life and not be hindered by this.
God made your baby just the way he wanted her to be, I'm a firm believer of that, so just pray that things don't get worst but if the do god will always make way for her and you to make it threw the day!!!!
Baby girl, it is not your fault. You could not have possibly known or prevented this from happening. In all reality, when you think of all the millions of genes and proteins that are activated in creating a tiny little human it's pretty amazing that we all come out the way we do. She is perfect in her own way and the beauty of it is her condition is treatable! Be happy and proud mama :)
It's not your fault. Your little girl is blessed with a mom that loves her and is able to help and support her. Celebrate how strong she is together... Don't blame yourself. :-)
Thanks everyone. I guess I'm just taking it hard that she is hearing impaired in one ear. As a mother it breaks my heart. The strange thing is she is her happy normal self other than touching her hearing aide. She says it feels weird but I tell her she will get used to it.
