Thank you so much for your reply. As much as I don't want anyone else to have to go through this it's nice to know I am not alone. I am so sorry to hear about the injuries your DD has because of it. DS had movement in his left shoulder when he was born, but it was very weak and when he got older he couldn't crawl becase of this so we did physio and it improved, but he still couldn't crawl and just went straight to walking. Because it's his left shoulder and he is right handed it's hard to know for sure how strong/weak it is now. I guess as he get's older we will have a better idea if there is any permanent weakness/damage. DH's dream of producing a star football player have been shattered


DS was 4.6kg born and with very wide shoulder's so I doubt there will be an OB in Aus. that would allow me to have a vag birth this time around. I am going to go now and check out the website.

Thanks again you have made me feel more 'normal' and accepting about having to have a csectoin.
