After nearly driving myself insane, I emailed the lovely midwives at Tommy's yesterday, and had a lovely email back which has put my mind at rest IMMEASURABLY! I was concerned about a number of thibgs. Firstly, the history of disability in the family. My uncle died at three days old from Spina Bifida. My brother has numerous disabilities including Pierre Robin Syndrome and hydrocephallus (that's a fun one to spell, bet it's wrong!) I was also worried about my ME/CFS. Emma, one of the Tommy's midwives got back to me with a lovely long email, putting my mind at rest, giving me great advice and generally being fab! My top tip is if you are expecting, and not able to talk to your GP/Midwife, these guys are brilliant. They also do some great free publications... I've ordered a couple myself and will pop a review on here when they get here!
Right, better go , hamster is going nuts and my bath's going cold!
