Yeap.....I want to have children so bad but don't want to pass down my sickle gene. If I have kids with someone they will have to have normal hemoglobin.

I can't speak on the topic because I do not have children. However, I will offer my two cents. I wanted to have children, but was advised against doing so. At 42 years old, I am very sad about this. I would suggest that you have genetic counseling with your partner prior to conceiving. In addition, you should consult a perinatologist. This specialty cares for the mother and fetus under high risk circumstances.

i told myself a lie growing up: that i wouldn't get married or have children. now i think i shouldn't have done that. everyone should be positive and think about living life normally; get married, have kids, e.t.c. i am 43 and still not married but i am going to get married (with the right person: AA ) and have kids by Gods grace.

I have 3 boys. Only one came out with the trait, but they are all well.
