I recently wrote a piece on my daughter, stephanie, who was born in june 1996.

She had Gastroschisis and was born at 38 weeks. She had her operation and treatment at Lewisham hospital in London.

I have noticed a few new parents on this website who are having a bad time with their news of diagnosis and treatment.

Please keep positive, it’s hard, I know. Gastroschisis isn’t as rare as it used to be 10-15 years ago and the treatment has vastly improved since then. Medicine is improving and the chances of survival rates with Gastroschisis babies are rising.

I’m sending with this post….a huge hug to you all.
