My wisdom and patience carried me through. It is important to get support, seek out your family , friends and even the internet for help. Genetic testing can help ease fears that older women experience when they become pregnant. These tests are used to detect genetic problems with the fetus. One added benefit, is having the chance to find out the sex of your baby way in advance.
Some couples choose wait until delivery day, but for many the suspense is too much.
Genetic testing, was a positive experience for us. We got to see our daughter as she was growing inside me and even keep some photos of her. The test is not terribly painful, and most insurance plans cover it. The results are not immediate but are well worth waiting for. Knowing in advance that your child is developing normally is a great comfort.
