[tri-wings] Re: Screening

When Brendan was about a year, I found out I was pregnant, I was not really 
happy to find myself in this condition and was trying to come to terms with it. 
 John and I discussed the likelyhood of having another child like Brendan.  I 
personally didn't care if there was anything wrong with the child.  I was 
living through it already.  But he didn't want to do it again and pushed the 
issue of having the CVS test.  I made the appt for it and then about 2 days 
before I miscarried.  I know at that point in my life it was not right for  me 
to have another child.  I think other forces  were thinking the same thing.  I 
am grateful for the time I had with Brendan and if I could do it all again I 
would. 

I think it all depends on what you believe is right for you.  I was shocked 
when Brendan was born but I would have never wanted to know about it before 
hand.  But then again that is just me.

Mom to Michael(11) home from camp but too bored at home so is staying at my 
mom's who will take him golfing, Caitlin(8) at sleepaway camp for another week 
and half and loving it, got a postcard already, Siobhan(5) the only child at 
home and loving all the attention and sleeping in my bed, and My Sweet Angel 
Brendan T-13 (08/02/05-01/25/05) who has been in heaven with God for almost 6 
month and would have been 4 very soon.

I just found out that I'm 8 weeks pregnant. We are very excited.  Our 
Gabriella had T-13 and passed in December. I don't know if I should have  test 
done. 
(Like CVS ). My genetic consoler doesn't think we should. I need some  advise. 
Did anyone else have test done or not done? We didn't know anything was  
wrong with Gabby until birth all ultrasounds and blood work came back normal. 
We  
just found an extra digit on our 20 week ultrasound. But, my doctor at the  
time don't think it was anything because her heart and brain looked  okay. I  
don't want to risk anything happening but, I still want to  know. Which I know 
this doesn't happen twice with T-13 full. What does everyone  think?
