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
Do the father have the trait? My fiancé carry the trait but I don't. He's niece and nephew has sickle cell bc his sisters and their kids father carry the trait. Did your newborn father get tested for the trait?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Totally understand I was so pissed that my mom never told me that she & I had the trait I was so worried
