Hi all,
I am a 33-year-old carrier and have known for just over 10 years that I am a carrier. It has been in our family for as long as I can remember and have been around both males and females, children and adults who have suffered at the hands of this horrible condition.
For the last three years my husband and I have been going through PGD to ensure we do not pass this on to future generations and after three unsuccessful attempts we finally got pregnant with a carrier. We’re obviously delighted to be pregnant and having a girl but my worry has now started on how and when do I tell her she is also a carrier? I would like to try and talk to her about it as she grows up so she is used to it and so it isn’t a big shock when she is a bit older. Does anyone have any experience or advice with this?
Thanks
Leanne
