Like to hear from any mums who have had this and had healthy children?

Hi,
I had it in both my pregnancies and have 3 healthy children now (illness initially unrelated to ABS). I was lucky as I had an OBGYN who knew a lot about it and actually had a sister who had lost 2or3 toes as a result of the condition. She monitored it very closely as I believe it can cause devastating damage to a growing baby. Mine was low with my first and as it was over my cervix prevented a premature birth and they had to break it for baby to be born. My second was on the side and it disappeared at some point because she couldn't find it at 30 or 32wk scan and the problems I had in this pregnancy had nothing to do with it at all. Close monitoring is the name of the game and they told me they could laser it if there was an risk to the babies.
I hope this helps and good luck with the pregnancy!

My gorgeous baby girl was delivered by emergency c-section at 34 weeks as i had ruptured membranes and got an infection. when she was born the doctor told us that she had amniotic banding to the tip of her left fingers, a band around her ankle and a small cleft in her hard pellet (back of the mouth)the banding caused amputation of the tip of her fingers where the band is, she will most likely have surgery to seperate the fingers when she is a little bigger. her ankle band is no problem and just looks like a ittle fat crease. The cleft was also caused by the banding but it is no major problem and could possibly close over on it's own or she might need minor surgery. we had no idea about this untill she was born. it is unfortunate that it happened but we are so thankful to have her in our lives and she is perfectly healthy in every way.

Congratulations on your little bundle of joy!!! It's amazing how such a little person can bring so much happiness, joy and love. GL with everything sounds like there will be a little bit of hard times ahead but all worth it in the end....smile
