Jayne Meneghetti - CMV, Motherhood and Jock's Story

In this episode of Riverland Women, Kerrie Lush speaks with Jayne Meneghetti from Loxton about her son Jock and the life-changing diagnosis that reshaped their family. During her pregnancy, Jayne unknowingly contracted cytomegalovirus (CMV), a common but little-known virus that can have serious consequences for unborn babies. Jock was born with multiple disabilities, and from that moment, life as Jane knew it shifted completely. Jayne shares the emotional journey from diagnosis through to birth, the early days in hospital and the reality of raising a child with complex needs. She speaks openly about grief, resilience and the day-to-day challenges of navigating therapies, medical appointments and the NDIS, while also raising two other children and maintaining a sense of normal family life.
