“I can hardly even remember taking part in the initial SWS questionnaire when I was a young married woman who worked full-time and had no children. Since then I have had two sons, the oldest of whom is an ‘SWS baby’. He’s not much of a baby anymore mind you, he’s just started secondary school! I remember that it was great to have his ultrasound scans carried out by the SWS team during my pregnancy and I remember the SWS nurse coming to visit us on the ward at Princess Anne hospital to measure him on the first day of his life! Since then we’ve taken part in several SWS follow-up studies, most recently the ten-year visit when he was fascinated to see his skeleton on the DXA scan print out! We are both looking forward to hearing from SWS for future follow-ups. It’s great to have had detailed information collected about my son throughout his life and to know that it is part of a huge dataset that will help scientists to discover which lifestyles are best for children’s development and their health right through their lives!”
