Sorry for the off-topic:
I am under a lot of pressure because I am worried about what will be at the
end of this pregnancy. I kept getting told that 2% birth defects is no big
deal. Yes- no big deal if you're not the one with the kid that's in the
2%. Most of the defects can't necessarily be found on an ultrasound.
Also, the people around me including my husband and my "best" friend act
like I'm being neurotic.
Does someone out there know WHICH defects can be found on an ultrasound?
Apparently the US showed some cysts on the fifth finger. "CP CYSTS" to be
exact, and I don't have a doctor's appt for two weeks. My GP didn't think
it was any big deal. I don't exactly feel reassured.
I made the doctor doing the US look for cleft, but I didn't know if
cataracts could be sighted so I didn't bug him.
I didn't tell my parents I was pregnant until just this past Sunday, and
now my mother's practically jumping to make my appt for an abortion.
(Makes me wonder why I'm an only child)
I didn't tell her in the first place BECAUSE I knew she would behave this
way. (Which is why I live 6,000 miles away from her) I feel emotionally
molested.
I'm more than halfway through and I'm still scared to death.
