My son was diagnosed with FVS about 2 years ago. Does anyone else have a child that has been diagnosed with FVS?

Akq08, Sorry to hear this! My son has Fetal Valproate Syndrome. He was diagnosed at 9 months. Right now he is 2.5. He is much better now, very active, catching up with his peers. But in the beginning it was horrible!!!!!!! Two surgeries, doctors were not familiar with this condition, hypotonia..... How old is your child? What problems does he has? What was your dosage during pregnancy? If you want to talk more about it, please, feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] Would be very nice to talk to someone who knows what you and your child is going through! Hope to hear from you! Natalya.
