[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is fake.

No way a 56-year-old would say "none of our kids were planned.  We just go with it."

No way they wouldn't have been pushed to do a CVS/amnio/Maternit21 by 15 weeks.

OP, if you're for real, did you have a nuchal test?  Where was it done?  What were the age-adjusted percentage results?[/quote]

Well, none of our kids were planned. We got pregnant naturally. Yes there was a period of about 4 years where I went on BC because finances were terrible and we couldn't afford to have another child. We were "asked" about the testing, but we chose not to have it done. We had a blood test at 10 weeks and the result was "low" chance for DS so we have not had more testing. Also, we were informed about having a test in the 2nd tri to check on neural tube abnormalities, again we are opting to not have any unnecessary testing. It is our belief that if something such as an illness can not be healed, there is no point in becoming concerned about it. We are concerned about the increased risk of birth defects, but that obviously comes with the territory. [/quote]

I can respect where you're coming from. However, giving the potential birth parents as much information as possible about the baby's health will help them prepare for how they can best raise the child. Are you planning on doing the anatomy scan at 20 weeks and are you willing to follow up with additional testing and medical treatment if anything is discovered? Are you hoping to find an adoptive family before the baby's birth? Are you willing to take their concerns into account about such things as the pregnancy proceeds? [/quote]
