We always welcome new members whether you are a mother or father of a child with restricted growth, a professional working with someone who has restricted growth, or you are a person of restricted growth yourself. Visit the 'About the RGA' Section for more information about how we can support you.
Health
As with anybody, there are some health complications that may reveal themselves with age. This section is a brief introduction to some of the more common complications that can occur if you have restricted growth.
Pregnancy - most restricted growth conditions do not prevent a woman from carrying a successful pregnancy. If one or both partners have a restricted growth condition, genetic counselling is usually advised. Your obstetrician should be able to arrange this for you. If you are considering a pregnancy or are pregnant, the office can put you in touch with someone who has already been there. Please also see our page for RG Parents
Spinal Injuries - there is a discussion/support group for people spinally injured with RG. Links to the group will be given in the Members' area or can be obtained from e-mailing the office.
Weight gain - most people put on a few pounds as they go past 30, it's even easier to do if you have RG. If you've found a healthy way to stay trim or found a diet group where you're happy - e-mail website@restrictedgrowth.co.uk and share your experiences with other members!
