I have a client who has taken a long time to conceive her second child and so there is nine years separating the births. She is wondering if the big gap will make the birth more like being a first timer again. What are your thoughts. Also she had a placenta prob last time I think it slowed down in function & baby was induced early, prob presented about 28wks last time. She is 27wks now, is it common for this to reoccur? > > Thanks in advance. > > Philippa Scott > > Birth Buddies > > -- > This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics. > Visit <http://www.acegraphics.com.au> to subscribe or unsubscribe. > -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
