Gastroschisis(gas.tros.chi.sis) Support and Resources

Hi

I’m 20 weeks pregnant and my baby has gastroschisis. I’m currently living in Suffolk and go to Adanbrookes for specialist tests and monitoring. For a while I’ve been hoping to re-locate to Cornwall, and am now in a position to do so in the near future. I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any specialist units in the south-west, or what the general practice is for mothers living in this area?

Thanks in advance for any help!

i am 19 and only 20 weeks pregnant with my 1st baby. i found out in my 18wk scan my little boy has gastroschisis an i am so worried it was good to read all your stories an helped me understand a little more whats could happen and what to expect. my midwifes been through the same situation with her twins an there healthy babies now so having her experienced support helps to.

i am waiting on the hospital to contact me about the next stages, scans etc and let me know how serious it is, but if you know what hospitals are like i could be waiting a while which frustrates me because i just want know how my little soldiers gonna be! good luck to all you and your bubbies
