So I refused the down syndrome test the other day bc my husband and I talked it over and we feel that it would just cause more stress and heartache to know ahead of time if baby possibly has downs. Either way I will love this precious life just as much and chose not to know ahead of time! What's everyone's thoughts on this??
We only had it done with both babies, just to be aware of it, I'd love my babies no matter what but we want to know ahead of time instead of being hit with it all at once on the day they were born or something, and so we could know how to take care of them better ahead of time. We did non invasive testing though, so it wasn't a big deal, just took some blood.
I did all the testing. It felt good to have everything come back great. I guess it was reassuring for me to know baby's cooking perfect.
I had the test because I have no idea how to care for anyone with special needs, so I wanted to know ahead of time so my partner and I could take classes and do our research to be prepared in case our child did need extra care. I would still love my baby no matter what, but we wanted the test so we could learn how to take care of her in advance.
Same here I had no of the testing done for any of my boys I will love them no matter what!
Ob doctors ask/discuss this issue to all pregnant moms.
I felt the same way...the test has so many false positives and being high risk as I was I turn down the blood test as soon as my Dr asked if I wanted it. he said I made the right decision and I knew I would worry more than I already was and I didn't need the extra stress...I would have kept her either way so if she had it it would have been noticed on my 20 week scan.
I did all of the noninvasive testing, but we decided not to go any further either way. Same thing, downs or not we will keep and love this baby, but it might be nice to prepare more and do more research if baby is high risk
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!!

I will be 41 :/
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
I had all the testing done either way I would.of loved my baby no matter what but if baby did need special care I wanted to know ahead of time so I could prepare and I discussed with my ob the odds of a false positive the procedure following a possible false positive and having it done put my mind at ease
