[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, sending you strong and positive thoughts. The waiting and the uncertainty are the worst.

You probably already know this, but you will have time once baby's born and you see what's what to figure out what, if anything, to do and when to do it. As long as baby is healthy, you will have time to find the right experts, run the right tests, do the in-depth research, and make an informed decision when you are ready to make a decision. As long as baby can pee OK, and there's nothing life-threatening, you have time.

Your baby is just going to be a baby and it won't matter what's underneath the diaper. Your baby is going to need what all babies need -- your love and attention. Please take the time you need to feel better after baby's born, get your feet under you as a new parent, and settle in to life with your wonderful baby without feeling like you have to spend those early, precious weeks and months in the throes of medical decision-making and stress.

Big hugs.[/quote]

OP here, thank you for this reminder. Part of me knows this, and I think I'll feel a bit better when I have this actual little person in my arms and can get to know more about her (? sigh) as a complete person, rather than just this one issue, which is kind of all I know right now. In some ways I feel like I'm experiencing a bit of what people go through with gender disappointment before birth (though obviously a bit more complicated and worrisome), like since you haven't met the baby yet all you can do is project worries and stereotypes onto the one piece of information you have, but then once the baby is born most people grow to love their child no matter what.
