Genetic testing.😫

Marci

I got a call from my doctor today stating that my testing came back that I am a carrier for Spinal Muscular Atrophy. I called and spoke with the genetic counselor and I am still not feeling the best. This is our first baby, my husband will be going tomorrow to see if he is a carrier. If he is there is 25% chance the baby with get this defect. If not it goes down to 1%.

I can't even begin to wrap my head around the fact that my baby could be born with something that is going to prevent him from living a beautiful life. Prayers for me my hubby and baby!πŸ’™πŸ™πŸ»

P.S. we found out it's a BOYπŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™
