Amniotic Band Syndrome

My daughter, Savannah, was born in September. All of the ultrasounds showed a healthy baby, but when she was delivered she was missing her right arm below her elbow. I was wondering if anyone else knows about this or if a parent with similar issues could talk to me about this. She is perfectly healthy otherwise, but I do not really know how to handle everything.

Sarah,



I don't have a similar experience, but wanted to offer my thoughts and wishes to you. How wonderful that she is healthy otherwise, and I am sure that the hospital should be able to refer you or at least help you in finding the support you need. I would also recommend tapping your pediatrician for help. Good luck and congratulations on your baby girl!!
