I carry fatal genetic disorder. Prob 50/50 of passing it on but less than 1 in 8 of actually getting to birth. Then chances of sb v high
I have 1 dc affected by this. DC has loads of medical / physical / developmental probs and has limited life expectancy
I have 1 unaffected dc
Haven't planned to get pg. Had a coil and was hoping to be referred for sterilisation.
Was fully expecting to mc and haven't. Now am agonising about the cvs
I don't want to have another child with this disorder. Am not seeking to rule out all disability - biggest fear is burying 2 dc. And my other dc loosing all their siblings. As vile and scary I find tx I prefer this option over the former scenario. At least I wouldn't 'know' that child so much and only dh and I would have to deal with. Not my existing dc.
Still - am terrified and desperately uncomfortable with whole thing. Couldn't care less if it hurts me but so scared of mc as a result of procedure. Have had it before btw so know what I'm facing.
Anyone else been in similar situation?
