**I created this page to be an educational resource on topics related to Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH). Whether you are a parent of a CDH survivor, expecting a baby with CDH, a health care professional, or have never heard of CDH, I hope you will learn something here.
When my daughter was diagnosed with CDH, I was familiar with the diagnosis. However, I still had a lot to learn. The internet can be a wonderful resource, if used properly. It can also be a scary place to go searching blindly. There is a lot of misinformation to be found. As a health care professional, I had the advantage of being able to sift through the "good" (a.k.a reliable, peer-reviewed) information and the bogus information out there.
That being said, this is merely a collection of information; not advice. What I write here pertains only to my personal experience as a parent and should never be taken as medical advice. The first thing you will learn about CDH, is that every experience is unique. No two babies are the same, and no case of CDH presents in exactly the same way with exactly the same outcomes. The comments made here are my personal opinions as a parent and are in no way to be used as medical advice. Please consult your physician with any medical questions.**
