We were worried about many of the same things you talk about. I did stress quite a lot. I got through it with prayer. I also received counseling from my Pastor. I work in labor and delivery and so I have seen many life changing birth defects even to healthy mammas who followed all medical advice. The awards of being a parent (too me) outweighed the potential risks. I prayed for the health of my child all along. My sister is handicapped from a birth accident. I knew I could handle a child with special needs if I was called to do so.

My daughter is healthy and attaching well. She has blossomed since her arrival. She is loved by so many people. If something arrises I will get through it, because no matter how hard it is for me I KNOW IT IS 100 X harder for the one it affects.

By the way - I would not trade her for the WORLD!!!
