Re: has anyone had more than 1 child with pmg or liss?

[Guest guest]

Hi - sorry for the late post.

My second child was diagnosed with PMG at just over a year old and

is now 3. When we saw Dr. Dobyns when she was 1 year and he

diagnosed her, he indicated a 3-5% chance of recurrance - this was

in 2005. We are now pregnant with #3 and I am 25 weeks along. You

can see my earlier post about my recent emails with Dr. Dobyns

regarding ways to diagnose PMG during pregnancy. However, in sum,

Dr. Dobyns told us that in his opnion, PMG cannot be diagnosed

during pregnancy with any accuracy prior to 32 weeks. The technique

that he would recommend is fetal MRI and he specifically mentioned a

doctor at UCSF who we should have read the MRI as he didn't trust

anyone else to diagnose PMG from a fetal MRI except this doctor.

When I inquired aboutt recommendations for where to get the scan, if

we decide to do that (as I know they are readily available in my

area), he also indicated that the scan should be done with this

doctor at UCSF, if you want to go this route. He has not indicated

any other means of diagnosis during pregnancy such as ultrasound.

To your question about other options offered by our OB/GYN practice,

I was offered the standard " first trimester screen " that is common

for women over 35 although we didn't chose this as abortion was not

a consideration in our case. We will instead do a level 2

ultrasound during the third trimester, if we chose not to do the

fetal MRI. We are just hoping/praying for an uneventful delivery as

the pregnancy has also been uneventful. Good luck with your

prenancy and try not to worry too much - Sara

> I am now pregnant with our third child. Our second was diagnosed

with profound PMG and did not survive past 4 1/2 months. I am

currently 11 weeks and am meeting with the genetic counslor

tomorrow. I know I'll be the one providing all the information since

even my OB has never heard of our daughter's condition. Dr. Dobyns

told us their could be a recurrence of 5 to 15% This sounds high to

me. He also said her form of PMG was not as typical although she was

not the only one. Has anyone had more than one child with PMG or

Liss? What kind of tests did your OB/Gyn offer while you were

pregnant? Also, She had microcephaly as well, is this something that

usually occures with PMG?

Have a great day.

My first child Dylan (now aged 3 years) has quite severe PMG, he was

diagnosed at age 1 year, he also has epilepsy. Dylan now has a baby

brother, , aged 7 months. I was very carefully monitored during my

second pregnancy, in addition to an ultrasound every 4 weeks up to 30

weeks, several MRI scans were carried out on the fetus specifically

looking at the brain during the latter part of my pregnancy. You might

want to suggest this to your Consultant.

Thankfully, turned out to be a perfectly healthy little boy !

I thought it might be an off chance but I worked with someone a few years

back who was named , who had 2 children with the 1st husband and

got remarried and had a baby but then moved out of state……..

It matched too much for me not to ask! :-)

Well good luck with this pregnancy, I am sure everything will work out for

you.
