You should avoid boards or people who try to spout off or place any negatives on you as an expectant parent.  I had three perfect pregnancies with no problems and my third child had a cognitive disability which was completely random chance.  Interestingly given the high performance of her two older sisters, she has done really strongly given the skills set she was born with.  Our oldest daughter turned out to have a severe anxiety disorder diagnosed in college where such mental health issues come up when one is beyond the structure and general support of the family and she went on to have a serious cancer before marrying in her late 20s.  Upshot was that Lexapro was recommended by an experienced psychiatrist whom she chose to see her through her pregnancy for just that expertise in judgement as opposed to a male psychiatrist who as she said would have given her anything she asked for without a second thought.  She delivered two healthy twin girls and there is just the natural difference between them with one learning at the rate of her mother and the other more typically learning to read etc.  The point is that each Mom's and do not forget Dad's health history is unique as is each pregnancy.  You do your best and sometimes health issue just come along.

It also seems to me that if one can diagnose certain health issues in utero that would cause one to consider ending a pregnancy, you still have to admit that there is no definitive way to predict what health challenges might befall a son or daughter in the future and just how far out and how perfect would one really want testing to go....Focus on your family, enjoy your pregnancy and welcome your baby when he/she arrives.[/quote]
