Feeling Guilty

While in the hospital, Joanne admits that she felt guilty since she still drank alcohol and smoked cigarettes since she was completely unaware that she was with a child. The doctors were worried that Madison, who happened to be born at 6 pounds, could still suffer some consequences because of that.

Happy With Her Progress

Joanne expounded when asked if she felt guilty, “Oh God, yeah, I still do. The doctors gave me some signs to look out for, physical problems, that would be caused by fetal alcohol syndrome but she doesn’t have any of those. The midwife and health visitor are both quite happy with her and her progress.”
