Baby James Maxwell MacCuish was born on 16th December 2004, weighing 8lb 2oz.

We would like to thank everyone at Cradle for their support throughout our pregnancy and for all the beautiful cards and gifts sent for James. We would also like to congratulate James and Angela on the birth of their baby girl Holly, who weighed in at a healthy 7lb 14oz on her due date.

This is why we keep trying.

Best Wishes and Good Luck to Everyone.

GLASGOW INFORMATION DAY

An information day will be held at the Glynhill Hotel, Paisley Road, Renfrew on Sunday 13th March.

The day will consist of talks by local health professionals and others with an interest in infertility, as well as breakout sessions, which will give delegates a chance to explore some issues in more depth. One such session will cover “welfare of the child” issues which many of you will have noticed taking headlines in the news in recent days. We want to give you as patients the chance to air your views on this subject. Speakers and topics will be announced soon so watch this space.

There will be an exhibition area that will include pharmaceutical companies and clinics, where information will be readily available.

The event is free of charge to anyone with an interest in infertility issues and morning coffee and lunch are included. Bookings can be made by calling Sheena Young at the Scottish Regional Office on 01294 218868 or email sheena@infertilitynetworkuk.com
