Baby First at UNC to Receive Gene Therapy for SMA, Thanks to Early Check Newborn Screening
It was a pregnancy that went relatively smooth. No red flags. No urgent ultrasounds. But, for this one family of Charlotte, N.C., that sense of apprehension was always lurking. “It was like I was waiting for the other shoe to drop. After all that we went through with our first child, once we had our son, it seemed too easy to feel like everything was normal,” said the mom, who wishes to be anonymous.
Their first child was born with health issues that went undetected during the mom’s pregnancy, and it was a surprise at birth. “So, my pregnancy with my second child, my son, was super simple aside from the fact that I would consider myself slightly traumatized from what happened with my oldest. Other than that, the pregnancy was easy and enjoyable,” she said.
