I'd be interested in hearing from people who gave birth to babies with birth defects.

Recently, there was an article listed in the news section of this site that found a relationship between obesity/birth defects. I had a child with both heart/eye defects at birth. He is 18 years old and it was not routine to do a glucose tolerance test at the time. My son weighed 10.5 pounds and had major problems. Anyone else with this scenario. Just curious. Maybe we could help science out with our observation. By the way, while I was pregnant, I felt awful. Wouldn't surprise me the least if I was diabetic and didn't know it.
