<t>Congrats! I too just posted on this topic a few weeks ago. We are pregnant with our 2nd child first with ROBPI. I am extremely scared and nervous but am arming myself with knowledge this time. My NEW OB and I have talked about many options we can take and he said ultimately the decision is up to ...

<t>Hi I am about 9 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child. My daughter is 20 months old with a ROBPI. We are thankful that she has gained alot (but not all) of function back but am scared thinking about labor again. I meet with my NEW ob today and hope he is understanding of what we went through. From wha...

<t>This is so great to hear. My little girl is having a very similar story. She did not have any arm movement until about 3 1/2 mos. and we actually got it on tape too!! We were seeing the specialist quite frequently because she was right on the line for surgery. However she keeps on improving!! At ...

<t>I have the perfect picture of Ava for her 1 year pictures. I was trying to get her attention with my cell phone, I was kind of dangling it in front of her. Anyway when the pictures came back she has both hands straight in front of her reaching up. When I looked at the pics at the photographers, I...

<t>In reading your post it really got me wondering. I know now that my childbirthing experience was in no way normal. I had to go home with a cathedar for about a week and half after my child was born and it took me a while after that to not have "accidents". It now is time for my yearly check up an...

<t>I didn't do this as a fund raiser but several people asked why i didn't...I got those silicone bracelets made up saying BPI AWARENESS and the other side had my daughters name on it. They cost us less than $1 a piece and you could sell them starting at $3 or donation (which people usually give mor...
