I'm 44 and 17 weeks pregnant with my 4th. I have 3 older boys.
I've just found out that my baby has Triple X. I'm devastated. I can't get my head round this at all. There's a string chance that she could be ok with not too much problems but its the unknown. What if she's not ok. I can't bond with my baby. I don't want to be pregnant anymore. I just don't know what to do. I've been offered a tfmr if I decide I don't want to go ahead with this pregnancy.

No one can tell you what to do, but the Wiki line
"the vast majority of Triple X females are never diagnosed"

suggests to me that it's normally very mild in effect. No one else's choice is necessarily right for you, but my tuppence is that I think would terminate for most chromosome abnormalities, but not this one.

I hope you can find a way thru soon.

Do you have a partner or family you can talk to? It may be worth using a website like this www.cafamily.org.uk/medical-information/conditions/t/triple-x-syndrome/ to speak to a family who know what you are going through? Maybe even put a now on one of the special needs boards on mn?

I think the key thing is there is no right answer, just what is right for you and your family Wine Flowers
