We are in week 18 of our 3rd preganancy, never did the CVS or amnio in our 2 prior healthy pregnancies. Now that we did the tests, we are in a very difficult situation. Our test result revealed chromosomal abnormalities in a male baby with only 45x,46xy mosaicism.
We are seeking genetic couseling for more education, but findings state that the child will be abnormal even though we have had normal sono/ultrasounds. Should we abort and safe this child from the chance of being abnormal throughout its life. We fear that when this child is 15-20 yrs old and is in a locker room of guys, and he reveals his female characteristics, or no gonads, or mild retardation, etc..he will be personally embarrassed for life. is this fair to do to anyone knowing that you could have prevented it before they were born?? is this test result even considered an abnormality that one could not live with?? please help.
