| I am Liz Robson, a principal lecturer in midwifery at De Montfort University. I do not have osteoporosis YET, but my aunt does. I have an academic interest in this subject related to pregnancy and have written a chapter on osteoporosis in a textbook that I am co-editing with a consultant obstetrician. The book is "Medical Disorders of pregnancy: a manual for midwives" The second edition is underway and I wonder if any members of this forum have any points they wish to raise about midwfery care? Was any care received good, or were there omissions? Could midwifery care have been better? I would value your opinions and experiences. Liz Robson

Please do more research on Osteogenesis Imperfecta. It is inheritade. In type ll, there is the possibility of infant death. In type l, here are risks and to protect both mother and child there is usually a ceasarean performed. Type l, a person can live as near a normal life as possible, in type ll, child isusually born with broken bones. Look at Pediatrics info. Surgeon Generals report on OI. You will find it interesting. Surgeon Generals report provided info that will help to protect all. Now there is more information coming into the media, hopefully this will prevent families lives from being ruined by false accusations. Good luck with your research. Look for Safe exercise NOF.

| Hi Liz, I'm happy to help, but I'm not sure what type of info you are requesting. I had pregnancy related osteoporosis with my second child but I wasn't aware anything was wrong until my child was 6 weeks old and I ended up with 4 fractures of the spine. I don't see how the midwife had any impact on the outcome, as I had a 20 min birth and no complications. My condition has no known cause. My problems started after the birth, when backache at 6 week check up was dismissed as normal. This is when my nightmare started in trying to get diagnosed. If you reply back with what kind of info you are looking for, I will happily help you as much as I can. Suzy Q
