Did Everyone Do Genetic Testing During Pregnancy ? I Just Would Hate To Do Them And Find Out My Baby May Have Any…

I did it with my first because my mother has MD and nobody had any paper work to see if I was a carrier of it.. thankfully I'm not.... found that out AFTER all the damn blood work they did

no...

Im Scared Tbh 😭 I Pray Everyday My Baby Is 100% Fine .. And It Doesnt Help I Was Drinking And Smoking Before I Found Out I Was Pregnant

I did

I did the blood work only because IF there was something wrong I could learn and try to prepare myself as much as I could. Because feeding a baby with down syndrome is much different than other babies. I mean I'd love my baby no matter what, just helps you educate yourself and maybe find a local support group that can help as well. That's if it happens but it helps you in the long run.

I did them because my dr convinced me I should be prepared if something was wrong and I would be more relaxed if everything came back normal. I was terrified but after getting normal results it did help relax me.

I did testing.

I didn't .

Yes, I did testing. I was adopted & so was the dad. We have no clue what we were carriers of. I'm a carrier of one things but the chances of my daughter getting it is extremely slim. I felt so much better knowing since that way I could learn as much as I needed before she arrived.

@miminicole, if you were drinking & smoking before you found out you should be okay. If you were smoking marijuana though I wouldn't worry. There was a study in Jamaica with mothers who did & didn't smoke marijuana & throughout their pregnancies & up to age 5 the children showed no real problems & actually showed that the children born to mothers who smoked were socializing quicker & easier as well as a few other things. Look up Jamaican marijuana study during pregnancy. There's quite a few links to it.

Not me.

Yes. I'm Going On The 26 th To Complete Mine

I did with my first born, but this time around I didn't.

No. I'm not getting one done albeit they keep asking if I want one. No. My baby is fine and I trust God. Everything is in His capable hands. I am assured of this one thing. I think it's really up to you and how you feel about it. Sometimes the tests can come back that there is something wrong and really there isn't.

yes I did it and there were no abnormalities but found out I am having a girl

I did, but only to find out the sex early lol

I plan to, but honestly, I just want to find out the sex early. Any abnormalities won't matter (if that happens)... But, I'd rather be prepared than caught off guard on delivery day!
