Nicole, a teacher, was shocked and concerned when the nurses handed Winry to her after delivery. She had a fairly normal pregnancy and didn’t anticipate her daughter having a skin condition. She wrote on her blog that she had morning sickness from around weeks 8 – 14 during pregnancy and then felt good until the tiredness came in the last month.
It was probably the doctors and nurses who first noticed the CMN. But they only offered cheers and congratulations for the smooth delivery and assured Nicole that Winry’s vitals were good. After nursing her newborn for a while, Nicole started to examine Winry. At first, she thought the big mark on Winry’s head was just a bruise. But soon, she and her husband realized it wasn’t.
In her blog, Nicole described her feelings. She said that after the excitement of labor passed, worry became the main emotion. She recognized it resembled a mole but had never seen anything like it and was worried it might be harmful to her daughter. She just held her tight and showed her love as she wasn’t sure what to ask.
