Thanks, Manda, we went to the genetic counselor today and we have made the firm decision to keep our baby girl. With all the unknowns at this point we are remaining hopeful. Best of luck to you and your son, too! --Previous Message-- : Like you I too have recently found out : my son the deletion only he is two, : we did however find out that he has : Spina Bifida during my pregnancy. We : were asked several times if we : wanted to abort and I do not regret : for one minute choosing to have my : son. It is a very personal decision : and you should go with your heart. : It was very hard and we cried alot : when we found out our baby wasn't : "perfect", but reading : inspirational stories helped, a book : Called "You will dream new : dreams" was very helpful. Good : Luck! : : --Previous Message-- : Hi, my baby has been diagnosed with : Tetrology of Fallot and now with the : ch22q11 deletion from a prenatal : FISH test. So now we are penciled : in at the genetic counselor's : office. Has anyone found themselves : with a prenatal diagnosis? I don't : see any stories online from parents : who knew about this before their : baby was born. Is prenatal : diagnosis new or are parents : encouraged to abort? I don't think I : could do that, she is so lively : already. : : :
