I'm 21 and was born with Gastrschisis…
I have never meat anyone who was born with gastroschisis, and was wondering if this could cause problems getting pregnant or if it might affect the outcome of a baby born from a mother with this condition. If anyone has gone through a pregnancy I would greatly appreciate your advice.
Alsoi have had 21 years to get used to my scar, however I still do not like the way it looks or to let people see it. i am afraid that they will not understand what I went through.
I guess I just need to hear that everything will be ok and that its not a big deal from someone who has gone through this. Unfortunately for me it doesn not hold the same value coming from my parents.

Im 26, born in 1983, Hamilton, New Zealand. And as far as now I was told I was the oldest living person with Gastroscesis in the southern hemisphere. I didn’t like my scars or the shape of my stomach and all of the side effects that come along with the disease. But I have managed and I am proud of my scars and the person I am today.
