So got back my daughter newborn screening and it said she was diagnosed with sickle cell trait. Anyone other mothers know someone with this. I know it's the disease but still I hate that she has this. Cause i know I have sickle cell anemia but my other children didn't get this. So how come it passed them but my newborn has it.
Ok thanks ladies you know as a mother anything from a cut to them being sick we worry and over protect our children @mommyofaking @babydavis915
@babydavis915, said it best 👌 my bf & I got tested. I have the trait he don't so we knew it was 50% chance out son would have it
I have the trait. & now my son have it. He's fine. It's just the trait not sickle cell. My mom have the trait as well. It's nothing to worry about.
@sunshinelovesu he could be carrying the trait and y'all didn't know. Since I told them about his family history they tested me for it but I don't have the trait. I know from his sisters that both of you have to have the trait in order for your child to get sickle cell.
No I just found out today through the mailed so I know I have to take her back for her second newborn screening
Totally understand I was so pissed that my mom never told me that she & I had the trait I was so worried
