Five and a half years ago, during my second pregnancy, my child was
diagnosed with a Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH). All I was told by my OB was that there was a hole in her diaphragm and that she would need surgery. I went home and searched congenital diaphragmatic hernia and I found CHERUBS. Almost everything I learned about CDH was due to CHERUBS. Through their website and their information packet
I recieved in the mail. This information gave me guidance as to what to ask the doctors at and what I need to know about CDH.
There also is a need for research. The fact that the medical community does not know what causes CDH shows there is a definite need for more research.
