This is a blogvisitor feedback mail after she sent in MY BOYFRIEND AND I ARE BOTH AS AND I AM PREGNANT...
Dear Stella,
I tried sending u a mail but I don't know what happened e no gree go. I made a post sometime back and you shared my story on your blog and I received numerous useful comments. I shared that my boyfriend and i are of the same genotype AS and AS and we didn't realise in time until I got pregnant and I was worried about doing the prenatal genotype test for the unborn foetus and not sure about what the outcome might be if I decide to go on with the test. I am happy to tell all everyone that I had the procedure done and my baby is not sickle cell, my baby is AS.
Thank you all for your advice and for other that offered prayers, God bless you all n for those believing God for a miracle like mine, He will answer y'all very soon. And to those that finds themselves in my kinda situation, if you decide to go on with it, pray really hard cos I believe I didn't do this on my own, God helped me and I also have an understanding partner that stood by me.
I had the test done at Sickle cell centre in Surulere lagos, and it was quick and painless. I wish you all the best. Thank you Stella for your blog, I am addicted.
Above all thank God for everything. Please forgive my typos, na happiness dey worry me.
Kisses y,all.
Congrats to you!

ReplyDeletePut a stop ke? With one kid? God that had mercy on the first child will av mercy again on the second one. And for those who aint married yet,pls know ur genotypes before u marry. Don't bring innocent kids to come suffer on earth. U av no excuuse o. Be wise

ReplyDeleteTnk God
ReplyDeleteAm happy for you dear.
ReplyDeleteThats really good news.
Did you have the CVS test or the aminotesis?
I had the CVS when I was 12 weeks exactly and my was it painful? oh yes!! I had read so much before going in for the test so I simply assumed it was more uncomfortable than painful but how wrong I was. My baby is also AA and just for the record my first child is SS.
Am sure you also know the sex of your baby now :)
God bless and please take care of yourself and your baby.
Your comment is quite mean anonymous October 23, 2013 at 9:04 AM.
ReplyDeleteCongrats and thank God for those tests.
Hmmm dear Lord as I get close to my due date I use this testimony as a point of contact for my baby.... Please dear Lord....

ReplyDeleteAm happy for you but I want to say that anybody who is AS and which to go into any relationship should find out the genotype of the person he/she wish to be involved with.
ReplyDeleteIf you are lucky now, it doesnt mean you will always be lucky. So if it was SS, does it mean you would have aborted it? You are doing something sinful and calling God's name inside. It is wrong.
ReplyDeleteUntil U̶̲̥̅̊ re in her shoes don't claim to know more! Stop trying to make her feel bad , U don't know how n what God has ordained for her
DeletePlease stop trying to make her feel bad,is it a sin to be AS....i av been dating an AS guy for over 3yrs...he has been the only constant thing in my life....Guys become mini-gods wen deyu find out u ar AS..dey act like jerks and her insensitive.......it is nt as easily as u all make it sound,i av broken of wif my AS boyfriend over 4 times bt get back to him after being hrtbroken....I remember one fool I met dat wanted. Me to worship him Bcos he Ws AA..God,being an AS is emotional stressful
DeleteHello Stella, can you please get in touch with the person that shared this story and ask her how much the procedure costs and how far along she was in her pregnancy? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteStella pls am interestes in dis info too...pls post it...tnx
DeleteCongrats poster
For medical reasons you can terminate a pregnancy. It's better than bringing a sickler into the world.
ReplyDeleteJust pray for long life......I have a friend who both couple was AS, they ended up having 4 children, 3 of them SS and one AS . They were so happy with the AS but sadly down the road, the AS was the first to die from ordinary malaria . The rest children have been in and out of hospital all their lives but are still with it ............. AS or SS doesnt really matter , people die regardless of their genotype.
ReplyDeleteFooooooooooool!!!!!!
Delete@Dare to be beautiful........yes people die but that shouldnt be a reason why people should put themselves into more risk and danger with their ignorance or "God is merciful" attitude.......what happened to this poster should be a lesson for all singles out there to know the basic things about their intending spouse......I am AA,,,but i still made sure my hubby and I went for all the necessary tests before tying the knots cos i cant imagine the emotional and psychological i'll pass thru having a husband with some kind bad health stories......its better to prevent ugly situations from happening than running helter skelter finding solutions to them when they happen,,,more so modern medical science lays more emphasis on preventive medicine than curative medicine,,,why put urself in trouble when u can actually prevent it??? am sure dis poster is just having rest of mind/quality sleep after she had her fetus tested and got a good result......The bible says WISDOM PROFITETH IN ALL THINGS........
ReplyDeleteCongrats Poster.......God bless ur unborn child,,,,,may u have more children with good health histories IJN....
Congrats
ReplyDeleteDear poster, am in this same situation. My All genotype is 'AS'.
ReplyDeleteAlmost all the guys I have met are all 'As'. I have jumped from one man to the other all in search of an AA guy. The few AA ones I have come across are not the kind of men I will like to spend the rest of my life with.
Marriage for me should be all about happiness, love, peace of mind, understanding and above all the decision and determination to make it work.
But I must say that this genotype thing has tried to make me throw away all of these attributes. While other girls were searching for love, I was searching for a guy with AA genotype.
I have prayed and fasted about my genotype and I have also asked God why he doesn't want to bring a guy with an AA genotype who is also cool my way.
Well, I have decided to settle down with a guy that truly and genuinely loves me, that I also love. I know that he will hold my hand all through the pains when it's time for babies.

All of you guys lamenting being AS and how hard it is to find an AA spouse, if you think that's stressful, trying being SS. Put yourself in your potential SS offspring's shoes. I assure you you would wish you had prevented it. There are few instances when love is NOT enough, and trust me, this is one such time. I would know, I'm SS myself and I left the best, for second best, because no child of mine would pass through what mama passed through. It's not worth the financial, psychological, emotional and physical burden that inevitably present with it. Congrats Poster, I wish you good luck with your other children.
