I’ve fell in love with a Man that has the sickle cell “Trait” just like me. As time goes on I can only think about what it will be like when we our ready to have that conversation to have a little one of our own. I just want to start off by saying I will always love this man despite what traits we have Inherited, something we had no control over. But not saying I won’t take in consideration that if we do bring a child into the world knowing there’s a 85 - 100 % chance the baby will have the sickle cell disease and will be sick more often then it wont be , and will need special attention or hospitalization most of its life. I need help and answers. I want to be able to carry a child of my own and be able to experience motherhood like everyone else but I also don’t want to risk my child having a unhappy life being in and out the hospital . Mothers of Sickle cell babies please speak out and warm my heart some kind of way.

Also do you think it would make a difference if I freeze my eggs that has less of the trait?
