Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi LN, I am so happy you are already looking at the future with the same hopes and dreams any parent has for their child. She will bring you so much happiness! On a serious note, just as all parents need to get their children physicals before doing dangerous sports so do you. With DS there is a condition called ATLANTO-AXIS INSTABILITY. It is a "looseness" of the first two cervical vertebra under the head. It will not affect your child in day to day life, but with flexion (such as in forward rolls in gymnastics) it can be dangerous for your girl. All our DS athletes are required to get an x-ray confirmation that this condition is not present before they can compete/train in gymnastics. It is a very important thing to know about your baby. I will look on here as my schedule permits to see how you and baby girl are doing.
