I don't have expert advice, but I do know that the Bowen Therapeutic Technique clears lymph brilliantly and assists with oedema and all sorts of things. look up bowtech on net. aviva ----- Original Message ----- From: Tim and Katrina To: ozmid Sent: Sunday, November 17, 2002 11:33 AM Subject: [ozmidwifery] primary lymphedema Hi all, I have an inquiry on behalf of a friend who has primary lymphedema and would like to have children. She was born with too few lymph nodes and has (at times) considerable swelling in her legs. She is 30 years old and wants to know if becoming pregnant is likely to exacerbate her symptoms and put her completely out of action during that time. Have any of you wise women cared for women who have this condition and if so, what were their experiences of pregnancy? TIA Katrina Matthews-Flora Mother to Ethan (4) and Claire (2), aspiring midwife.
