Since we are at high risk for lupus and sickle cell has anyone's doctor talk to them about the possibility of baby having it lupus runs and our family and my doctors worried now I'm worried anyone else in my boat???
I don't carry sickle cell trait either but I will ask too about the lupus all my gentic testing came back normal I just have that nasty glucose test next time I ago and get my shot
My first child has a trait of sickle cell. With this pregnancy I was extremely concerned that this baby could have sickle cell. So I was tested I dont have sickle cell or a trait but my fiancee has a trait so it is possible this baby will have a trait as well.
@mybabe I've already done all of my testing and all of my results came back good but I don't remember her saying anything about lupus. No one in my family has lupus but I'm still going to ask about it.
@kfigueroa the child is ok if they just carry the trait it is just when they grow up and have kids if they meet someone else who has the trait and produce then the baby will automatically have sickle cell my friend died at 22 of sickle cell because both parents had the trait and were not prior tested
@ Mybabe nothing was done any different I didnt even find out til after my daughter was born. Any time she goes to the hospital or changes doctors I must inform them of the trait. But other than when she decides to have children she must be careful of who she has kids with because if they have a trait or have sickle cell her child will more than,likely have sickle cell.
@jodimama I'm not certain because I see not every doctor talks about certain health issues and I'm pretty concerned about that I haven't been tested for anything but my second appt is Friday so hopefully I will be teseted instead of her telling me she is worried...
@mybabe I was first tested for it in college so I knew I didn't have it but i did full genetic testing blood work for myself including HIV screenings and other stds and the full work up diabetes cholestrol and more....they took over ten viles of blood from me...all came out good except my blood type rh- but I already knew that too
