Hi everyone, I’m new here. My husband (34M, otherwise healthy) was diagnosed with T-ALL 2.5 weeks ago and has started UKALL reg B. I (40F) am 23 weeks pregnant and we have a 2 year old daughter. We live 2 hours from family and have quite a limited support system. I’m due to have a C section at the end of Jan and, as a natural planner, I’m really struggling with the unpredictably of our situation over the next few months. Looking for advice or experiences of anyone who has been in similar situations particularly those with experience of adults undergoing the UKALL-reg B and what to expect over the next 6 month, or those who have had babies whilst partner is in the first few months of treatment, particularly if there are any UK based organisations who might be in a position to offer support specifically around this situation. Thanks very much.

Currently pregnant with our second little girl. Our first will be 2.5 when her sister is born.

I (F 40) have one older sister with a similar age gap. We have always had a terrible relationship. Hubby (34 M) has a younger sister with a 4 year gap, they have never been close, so we don’t really have good experiences to draw on to help our girls develop a strong positive sibling bond.

Looking for advice from parents who have managed to foster a positive sibling relationship or from those who grew up with a great sibling bond. What are your top tips to make it work? Any good books that worked for you? I realise there is a strong element of personalities which may or may not gel but if there is anything that can be done to promote a harmonious household we would love to hear it.
