Possible birth defect?

Post by StephenPeachey »

Hi Everyone

Just wondering, I asked my mum and I was a difficult birth two months before I was born my mum was hospitalised due to toxaemia. I was born and was an ill child got diagnosed with tonsillitis (aged 5) then during the operation my blood pressure was sky high and my mum was told I would have died within the year from a massive stroke. just thinking maybe kidney researchers etc. would want to look at certain factors etc. for research purposes but maybe that's just me. I'm sure theres genetic factors for instance I have mortons toe. I just want to ask these questions maybe I'm bonkers but I'm sure there's certain problems and causal links.
