It would be something I would have to accept!. When I was little my parents found out that Ihave a genetical disorder that causes me to bruise really easy!. They took me a to a specialist every 2 or 3 years so the dr!. could keep tabs on how I was doing!. My parents let me be a kids and tried not to limit me in what I could do!.
If you just got news that your baby has a genetical problem that must be hard!. You need to accept the fact that this problem may not go away and try to lead a life as normally as you can!. Wait until your baby is ready and old enough to understand what she has to tell her!. I was eight or nine when I learned, it was scary, but I learned how to live with it and accept it!. Good luck, if this happened to you!. Try learning all you can about the problem and what treatments are available if there are any!. Talk to your doctor or a specialist about all your fears!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have two other children, one older than Grace, one younger!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I was told that my child had a problem long before he was born
I was upset frightened and I felt alone because we did not know just how bad this was going to be
he is 17yrs old now and he is doing just fine he attends main stream school he has friends etc
would I have had an ab**on no way that goes against my own beliefs
however you would have to know what or how this would impact on the CHILDS life before making a choose like that
this is my opinion only!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I guess it depends when I was told!.
Before I gave birth to my babies I refused all tests which would potentially tell me if there was a problem with my baby!. The reason!? I knew that no matter what, I would go through with the pregnancy, and so finding out something then would have made my pregnancy less joyful!. Maybe that wasn't wise, but it was my way of dealing with it!.
I have deafness in my family - both my parents are profoundly deaf (I am not) but as soon as the hospital found this out!.!.there they are whizzing through the checklist of questions and I suddenly answered yes to one of them!.!.!.they look at me as if the world had stopped!. They began pushing me for all sorts of testing and my answer was always, 'why!?'
My grandmother told me when I was a teenager that she was so glad she didn't know my mother was going to be born deaf - because if she had known she would have been so scared she would have had an abortion!!!! I was sooo shocked when she said this!.!.!.My beautiful lovely Mum wouldn't be here today!.!.!.I WOULDN'T BE HERE!.!.!.my kids wouldn't be here!.!.!.!.what a terrible knock-on effect that would have had!
I always knew that with my children there would be a strong possibilty of them having a disability, and I will be honest - I hoped they wouldn't have problems!.!.!.!.what mother really wishes a disabilty upon her kids!.!.!.!.but I knew I would love my children and that they would love me!.!.!.together we would conquer the world!.!.!
I know what it is to love someone with all my heart and see people look at them 'funny' -I pity people who can't see beyond a disability!. My life has been enriched in every way by the inspirational lives my parents have lived!.
I'm not sure if I have actually answered your question - sorry if I've waffled!! :-DWww@Answer-Health@Com
