My son is now 3 and a half years old with no problems what-so-ever! After his original surgery at birth, he had another at 3 months to repair a slight hernia. Other than that, he's a normal boy fighting with his older brother all the time! Don't give up on the pregnancy... having my son was soo worth that fight.

no it isnt really a 1 in several thousands of babies that can get gastroschisis, when our daughter was born around 2 years ago, there was about 10 other babies with the same thing. just gotta be strong for ur babies dont give up the drs. all try get u to terminate ur pregnany n tell u that the baby wont live passed 3 months or so. our daughter looks like a baby that was born normal she just has a feeding tube comeing out under her shirt but when she has her breaks no one would even know.

I probably is 1 in every 5000 or so births like the statistics show. Just think how many births there are in the world. In 2006 there were about 4,265,555 births in the US alone which would be about 853 estimated cases with the only the US. The clinic you went to probably specialized in high risk births (with perinatologists who are specialized for them) so it should be expected that more cases would show up there.
