Normally don't do this? BUT I am asking for prayers

I posted earlier about a call I got from my drs saying I tested positive for carrying the tay sachs trait. I am asking for prayers and positive thoughts that my boyfriend will test negative for it. I have been a complete wreck since 9am so if any of you ladies can do that and help me put my mind ease I will be so thankful.

Thank you I really appreciate it. I went a little crazy with all the stress worry and anxiety and he went and got it. But I wasn't very nice to him today so he isn't very happy with me. He was supposed to come over and spend some time with me tonight but he ended up falling asleep and didn't come. Im just glad he got it done and I hope to get a NEGATIVE in a week. Again I really appreciate all this support. Such a scary thing to have to worry about it, I feel like I might lose my mind.

Get the test anyway. Deal with the bill later. you can make a payment plan. I am praying for you and your little one. Hang in there! He will test negative (speak it into existence). Best wishes!

Well now I dont know what is going on. My boyfriends insurance doesn't cover this testing and the only price he can find is 500 at hospital. Im stuck at work right and trying so hard to not burst into tears. This is really just a huge nightmare.

It has to do with the brain and spinal cord. Babies with tay sachs will seem normal up to about 3 to 6 months. They then start to lose muscle control, loss of vision, loss of hearing, have seizures, and become paralyzed. Most babies die around or before 5 years old. If my boyfriend tests negative we dont have anything to worry about. Both parents need to test positive and then there is a 25% chance the baby will have it. If he tests positive I will have to go in for genetic testing for the baby. It feels wrong to bring a life into this world knowing nothing but pain and suffering. That is no life for anyone.
