anyone ever went in for genetics counseling?? .. the father of my child has seizures,tremors, barrets esaphougas and a stomach disease.. .my doctor had told me that the baby will most likely come out 99.9% healthy with none of his issues... so she scheduled me with a genetics counselor any idea what they will do??
Yea I'm a first time mom as well so I understand. Stay positive.
yeah just as being a first time mom I constantly worry if the baby's Okay. but thank you girls made me feel better! @carol0201 @kaygrig
I'm going because I'm 36. That's the same day as my consultation. I'm sure it's just a precaution. You and baby will be fine. Not all conditions are passed down
mines the 9th .. I just don't know how to feel about it because I feel like it's hurting his feelings.. my doctor already had my order for blood and I only have had one sono yet so idk what there going to do..
I have my appointment next week. I was told they ask a lot of questions at the consultation. The appointment they take a lot of blood and study the sono for visual abnormalities. When is your appointment ?
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...
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...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
I did. They ask you a lot of questions about your immediate family's history, they tell you wat they think baby might be at risk for, offer generic counseling, draw labs, and do an ultrasound. I didn't do much except for sequential screening and the ultrasound because we were low risk
