I'm not pregnant yet (TTC in 3 weeks), but today I found out that as soon as I am UTD I will be referred to the ADHB Maternal Fetal Medicine Clinic, as I have an auto-immune condition, which means I will need to be closely monitored during pregnancy.
I know nothing about the ADHB Maternal Fetal Medicine Clinic, and was wondering if you lovely ladies who have had experience with them, can share with me a bit about it... anything really :) Thank you so much!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I don't know about it. Do you mind me asking what it is that you have? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hopefully a few people in here are able to tell me a bit about it
It is a condition called 'Systemic Sclerosis', I believe it is relatively rare. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

We were partly under them as DS2 was considered high risk for cardiac deficits - so he was the patient rather than me. We only saw them for extra scans. We found them great - staff were really professional but friendly, well organised, clear prompt communication.
I have several friends who have been under them and speak really highly of them. Try searching OB for "fetal medicine" or "high risk", and you might find some stories. GL ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

thanks fire_engine.
Sounds great :) so that's good news! I had a search for 'fetal medicine' and even just 'fetal' and couldn't find anything... maybe I'm using the search engine the wrong way! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

We were under three teams there when our daughter was in my belly - she is the sick one though not me. I would imagine that regular scanning would be part of your process - and referral to the appropriate team if neccessary. Very proffessional , higly skilled team from what we have experienced.
Many high risk teams either run from there or have regular clinics - hopefully you will have no need to see anyone in particular - other than a midwife who will ensure your scans are booked and your health is good All the best ------------- http://lilypie.com]
