[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got testing done. CVS.  I found out that all was  good with health and also the gender of the baby.  I had a very compassionate and DCUM-famous doc in shady grove.  I would have aborted if I knew of any disability. I could not subject my child to a hard life deliberately.

I was also super strict about my diet and adhered to a strict diabetic and nutritionally balanced  diet from the very first days.   I ate a whole lot of veggie and fruits, frequent small meals, whole grain, minimally processed, home made food,  organic everything, lots of water.  Not even a bite of junk or a sip of anything other than water.  I have a lot of will power.  My DH really helped and a big champion.  I had a healthy beautiful baby boy. Our pride and joy!

Oh, I was 42. Had a 2 previous GD pregnancies.  Hard to manage even with insulin injections.  Really hard labor and tough recovery in both. Healthy kids.  I would have had to wait for amnio but not CVS. I did not want to wait if the result was not good. At that point, I was not feeling pregnant. I was mainly feeling very ill.  I had not allowed myself to be emotionally attached to the baby until I got all clear. [/quote]
