First off your daughter is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! I am 22 weeks pregnant with my first child and my husband and I were told at our 18 week doctor visit that our daughter most likely has a form of skeletal dysplasia. After sending us to the Children\’s Hospital in St. Louis and doing ultrasounds and a CT scan they narrowed it down to achondroplasia. Although they won\’t say 100% or not if she has it because we opted out of doing the amnio since she didn\’t have any other chromosome disorders. When were you told or diagnosed that your daughter had achon? We are just worried and scared and don\’t know where to begin since neither side has a history of skeletal dysplasia. We go back to the doctor April 23rd and will hopefully learn more then, but I am wondering if you could give me any advice or suggestions on what to do to help prepare for a child with achondroplasia. I have read that achon children will have problems with sleep apnea. Also I have read that it is advised not to put your child in a bouncy seat or swing. I am wondering what I should register for at our baby shower. I appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks in advance for taking time to read my email.
Thanks again,
Ashley
