afraid of having another child with Gastroschisis…
Hi I am Ayde… My son was born on October 17, 2005 at Vanderbilt Medical Center n Nashville, Tennessee, U.S. with gastroschisis… I came across this website while searching for answers as to the cause of Gastoschisis…. When i searched this at wikipedia.org , many of the contribuiting/risk factors were listed as: young mothers (I was 15 when my son was concieved), previous urinary tract infection ( I suffered from a severe UTI 3 and a half months prior to conception), and although none of the other factors pertained to me (i.e. drug use, prior std, smoking, etc.) I am worried that I could eventually end up conceiving another child with gastrochisis…
Has anyone else had “normal” childen even after having had a baby with gastroschisis??? This has really been a depressing fact to come across because I do want to have other children, but DO NOT want to have them go through what my son has experienced in his short life…
