Does any other pregnant woman on here have a fear of finding out their baby has some kind of chromosomal abnormalities or birth defect either before or after birth? That would be my biggest nightmare and all I want is for my baby to live the best and healthiest life possible and it’s scary thinking something could be wrong and we may have no idea until late into the pregnancy or after baby is born. I don’t know how I would feel or what I would want to do if I found out something was wrong later in pregnancy (I’m nearly 10 weeks now). I am an American currently living in Germany with my husband and I don’t even know what our options would be. If you’re going to say anything hateful or negative please just move on, I am genuinely wondering if anyone else feels this way.

Edit: My main concern is my baby having an extremely severe diagnosis that doesn’t allow them to live the life they deserve. Not talking about autism or XXY for example. I mean severe disabilities where they either lose their ability to walk, talk, take care of themselves, etc./they are born that way or having a life where they will never be able to even leave a wheelchair or have normal brain function to any extent. I’ve seen kids when I went to high school that were stuck in a wheelchair and had to be fed through a tube, couldn’t talk, or even comprehend where they are or who they are. That is no life to live and I wouldn’t want to bring a child into a world like that.
