Re: Re: Children after PMG child

[Guest guest]

Food for thought..............if you do decide to get pregnant again start

taking prenatal vitamins now.

Just to help make sure of no neuro tube defects.

Good luck in your decision!

Hi all! My son was born 11/11/01, and 06/02, we found out he

had PMG. I had gotten pregnant with my daughter Emma in 05/02/ So I

was about a month along when we found out about . She was born

at 35 weeks, and after her ordeal, we had her brain scanned. And

everything looked normal. But until then we pretty much held our

breath. She is now going through these terrible 3's. UGH. I want

to pull my hair out!!! ANyway, as hard as it has been on me having

them so close, and him not able to walk. It has been great for

. He wants to do everything she does, and is very interested in

what she does. Hope this sheds some light.

I really felt like I had twins. was born in Nov, and Emma the

following Dec. They are 12 months and 23 days apart. It was harder

than heck to say the least, Emma didn't walk til 16 months. UGH. But

now I wouldn't trade it for any other way. wants to do

everything she does, what an incentive for him. And he wwill always

have a friend on HIS side.
