Hi everyone!  I have a question for those of you who have a congenital limb defenciency (sp).  A few months ago I found out that I am pregnant.  My husband and I are very excited but I am also very concerned about the possiblity of passing down to my child my birth defects.  I have read and read and read on the topic, but was hoping to get some insight from all of you.  If you were born with a limb defiencency from birth, and you've had children, were the defects passed on to your child?  They are unsure exactly what caused my defects, theres 2 possible causes, one being my mothers gestational diabetes, the other being that she took bendectine, which was a drug giving in the 80's for morning sickness and was taken off the market shortly after I was born for causing birth defects in children.... either of the two could have caused my problems.  I am just curious for any feedback.  Also for any women that are bk amputee's that went through a pregnancy, what type of impact did it have on your leg? 

Thank you for your input!! 

Hi everyone, It has been a long time since I posted I know!  Hope this finds you all well!  I have been extremely busy lately which is why I haven't been on much lately... I have a question, I joined a gym a few weeks ago and I'm having a time w/ my leg sweating inside the liner, which causes a whole new set of issues for me.  My leg loses suction and I'm having a difficult time holding it on.  I called my prosthetist and she told me to use spray deoderant (Sp)... but that hasn't helped at all, half way through my workout, I have to go to the bathroom and dry out my leg b/c I can't hold it on anymore... then go back out again... has anyone had this issue and is there anything you use for it, I've tried powder... but that just makes the liner loose suction also.... I'm up for any suggestions you might have... Thanks! 

Christie!
