Quick happier baby update...

dairygirl19dairygirl19 member
in 2nd Trimester

The genetic counselor just called to tell us that Dh and I both have normal chromosomes, so what's wrong with our baby is just a one time thing.

Then of course she starts in on how there's this rare disorder that can affect eggs and sperm but they can't test for it. Please shut up lady. I don't need to know that.

I already fell into this trap last night and today about being depressed/sad/angry/upset about the situation. This was good news I needed to get through today, so crazy genetic counselor didn't need to add any more detail than necessary.

That said, I'm partially upset because I can't shake this feeling that someone screwed up somewhere along the line with this baby diagnosis. And I don't know where to find more answers...we'll keep working on that I guess.

    I'm thrilled that you have been getting better and better news.  I am sure that it is frustrating to deal with the inconsistencies and the unknown - particularly the people who clearly DON'T know what is going on but tell you their incorrect theories! - but hopefully the specialists you've been working with more recently will be able to fill in more gaps.  Good luck!

    I'm so glad things are getting better.  I can totally imagine being infuriated at the people who gave you the doom and gloom diagnosis and I don't want to think about what could have happened if you hadn't listened to your motherly instincts and gone for more information!

    i'm so glad you're gettin better news. i can totally understand you feeling mad, i mean someone did screw up, to the point that if your baby's ead had been in the proper size range, you may have terminated the pregnancy based on that diagnosis. it wonderful that you ot a second opinion and that the doctor you saw was able to ive you much more info about the it being a more physical deformity than anything else. but the Lord works in mysterious ways huh, baby's head was too big and you got a second chance to meet him/her.

    This is good news. I wish I knew what to tell you concerning what you've been told in the past, but as long as you're with a dr. who isn't a complete dumbass I think it'll be fine! I hope to hear more good news from you!!!
