hey everyone im new to this site and i just wanted to share my story ...
I am 22 yrs old and fell pregnant for the first time last year in june i was very excited , i had a healthy pregnancy and all my scans returned nothing out of the ordinary after my 18 week scan i recieved a dose of h1n1 to protect from swine flu as recommended by my doctor, everything continued as normal until 26 weeks i had some bad cramping so my partner drove me straight up to the nambour hospital where i spent the night under observation , the next morning i felt fine but the docytors suggest i have an ultrasound .... the result was my baby girl had a small head about 4 weeks too small so from there i was sent to the rbwh where i had more scans and eventually a mri on my baby by this stage i was 31 weeks and on christmas eve received the worst news possible my baby had a stroke or something of that kind and had schizencephaly with bi lteral clefts ect it was terrible . i was told her quality of life would be nil and that she would be lucky to survive birth ... i had a stilbirth 6 jan at 32 weeks ..specialists i have seen say it could of been the swine flu injection but will not comment they have no other suggestions i have seen a geneticist an he said that it was neither in mine or my partners genes for this to occur ... i believe h1n1 is not safe
