I’m back... took a short break after finding out my baby’s diagnosis.
Always in my prayers hun !! Have you found out anything else about it yet ?, welcome back.
@zaka851 it's easy to blame ourselves when something goes wrong with our pregnancies because were the ones that carry the babies and are responsible for taking care of them while we carry them but you have to know that this isn't your fault and not blame yourself for it, though I know it's a hard thing to do and there are alot of well if I would have just done this, or not done that, maybe things would be different. I get it.. But this was out of your hands love, there's nothing that you could have done to prevent it from happening. You're doing the best you can for you and baby. Alot of women don't take prenatals before conceiving, I was one of them with my first pregnancy as I wasn't ttc, I was only 16. I didn't start taking them until I was after 2 months pregnant , when i found out that I was. So I'm sure the prenatals wasn't the cause, or the green tea. I'm assuming you didn't get the genetic testing done earlier on in your pregnancy?
@angikay, i did the first trimester screening and everything looked good and they took blood but I don’t know what it was for. Everything looked good. The blood they took wasn’t like regular from veins it was just a finger prick on piece of paper.
@zaka851 that's really weird, when they did my genetics testing they took lots of vials of blood from my veins, not a prick in the finger. Maybe that's why they said everything was good then?? I don't think they done it right, tbh. I could be wrong but that just doesn't sound right hun...
@penelope127, @milnera2014, thank you 😊
We did more tests that confirmed the neural tube defect. Currently waiting for amniocentesis results to see if its genetic. And praying we qualify for fetal surgery in a few weeks 🙏
Dont ever blame yourself mama, i never took prenatal with my 4 kids and i am a tea drinker myself this did not happend, soo please stop blaming yourself mama and lets just pray that little baby girl can have her surgery 🙏🏼♥️
