My name is Valerie and i have sticklers but didnt know it until my daughter was
diagnosed. I had an epidural with her and everything was fine, me and my family
have all the symptoms of sticklers but the heart condition. I actually have two
kids my daughter is now turning 8 and i have a soon to be 15 year old. Both of
my kids have it, the worst part we have is the joint problems and eye problems.

Me and My sister both have sticklers. My sister is trying for a baby,
she was wondering if anyone knowingly had sticklers and has had a
baby. Her main worry is labour and giving birth. Did anyone have a
epidural or similar. Obviously because of our joint problems and risk
of detached retinas, she realises that a natural birth is probably not
the best move but would like to find out about other peoples
experiences. thanks for reading and look forward to hearing from some
of you. Emma, UK
