Hi! I'm dealing with something difficult. I have a hereditary disease that my son also has now. In his case, it hasn't developed too severely yet; he has his little quirks, uses a logo, and has an adapted chair due to his height. The disease is called NF1. Now I need to think about whether or not I want to do an amniocentesis. If the baby has it, we want to keep the pregnancy, but it's purely for our peace of mind and preparation. What would you do?

    Hi Liz, oh wow, that's so tough! I'd say go ahead and take the test, since your son has it and unfortunately there's a chance the baby could have it too. I totally get that it's hard for you because you're already happy with your baby, and also because the chorionic villus sampling isn't completely risk-free, but luckily the risk is small. Try to think of it as being better prepared and having peace of mind, because being prepared is really important. Good luck with your decision. Warm regards, Eline
