[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I clearly was very uninformed. I hadn’t followed data closely nor had anyone in my core circle or extended circle seemingly had difficulties or abnormalities.  [b]Most of my group is Masters educated, middle class African American, Puerto Rican, and Filipino. Raised and schooled pre-college in PG County. [/b]Which may be a much smaller data point than Caucasian women.

I am in no way offended at the remarks here nor my doctors - I was simply shocked at her blunt push to start immediately. [/quote]

We're getting to some loaded questions here, OP. Do you think the bolded is a factor in being knowledgeable about a wide range of medically-important topics?

I’m black and educated (a doctor) and struggle to conceive my 2nd at 33 after getting pregnant easily at 29. I had a two miscarriages due to chromosome abnormalities and have a 18 month old now. I’m not out there advertising my miscarriages. You probably just see me walking around with two kids and don’t realize the pain and struggle that went with it [/quote]

Ditto. Another black, educated professional with a struggle to share. Three miscarriages, 2 live births at 32 and then 12 long years later at 45. Second kid is on the spectrum (high functioning). [/quote]
