Sickle cell trait
Aww Sad face..I just learned I have Sickle cell trait... now they will draw blood from BD to see if he has it too. We have high hopes since Sickle cell trait is more common in african americans than caucasian! I talked to my mom she said her mom told her she had sickle cell trait when she was a child but I do not think my mom was advised to tell her childern the trait will be passed on.

@btrflyqt85 High hopes!! My BDs mom said she is 99% sure they do not carry the trait!
@newmomma13 oh snap that is awsome..I might have to visit africa now that was one reason I would not go! lol so happy to hear things worked out for you!
@mamaoftwo0511 I can definetly see that seeing how I've had the trait my whole 23 years of life and had no issues!! but I will be sure to inform my child if they have the trait so they know!
