Hi there congrats to all the mums and mums to be!! i'm not sure if it's on the list and i've over looked it but i'm 37wks pregnant and my baby girl has a limb deficiency, her right arm did not form fully and it seems 2/3 of her forearm and hand is missing on that side. i won't know anymore until she's born but would like to get in contact with people in a similar situation with a child who has a limb deficiency or if you yourself do. Any information would be greatly appreciated, thanks  )

I went to school with a girl with a limb deficiency. When we were little she has a hook (this was in the 80s) and then she got a prostetic (in the early 90s) but most of the time she didn't wear anything. She could do everything we all did and she even played softball in HS. Her arm ended just below the elbow (had the crook of the elbow and then maybe 2-3 inches below the joint).

That's awesome thanks for the response!! I do worry about my bubs quality of life amongst other things and I'm so glad that others get on well without the 'missing limb', it's so encouraging  ) There is a support group up at the Sydney Childrens Hospital which we'll travel to and attend but also good to know you can jump online and have a chat about these things.

Sometimes the internet is just fantastic   She's in her early 30s now and has a pretty awesome life. She just got married in the last year and is doing something environmental (something she was always interested in). We'd lost touch for a long time but recently reconnected on FB.

My name is Bethany. My son, Eli, has Cornelia de Lange Syndrome. He was diagnosed at birth. I don't know enough about the disorder to tell you much yet but he doesn't have his right arm from the elbow down and his left arm goes into a point where one of his fingers grew. He has feeding difficulties and wont be able to come home until he gets a G tube.

My daughter is special needs. It's called Biliary Atresia, I think there are only 3 of us on the site maybe 2 that have little girls with this disease, it is fatal if they can't get a transplant.

there is a link with some information. Riley is on the liver transplant list and is 6 months old. She weighs only 10lbs 7oz she was 7lbs 5oz when born. This disease is congenital (born with it)

I'll keep you and your daughter in my prayers. I hope she gets a transplant soon!
