This was a shocker to us, it all ended great, but heres the story short:
- A good friend of mine got pregnant with her husband.
- Doctors said child is gonna have problems - it showed on all tests they did, birth is going to be a risk for both mother and child, and child is definetly going to have anomalies - its a "risk pregnancy" and complications are bound to happen.
- They finally decide to have an abortion - but now its too late, they cant find a doctor willing to do it in Croatia, they have to go to Slovenia. Things get complicated and she eventually gives birth here
- Child born is ABSOLUTELY FINE. Perfect young boy, healthy, not a single problem
- Doctors explained that their test, like every other tests, cannot be 100% accurate
- Doctors also explained that in last week of pregnancy its known that womans body does the final adjustions and solves alot of potential problems with the child, adding that many of todays "problems" are a product of modern medicine being able to detect stuff.
So now were happy, celebrated, lil Leo is now 2 months old still shows no problems and smiles alot
I had no idea this could happen, but they talked to doctors after and found out its not that uncommon ( turns out exact thing happend to other couple they know ) with alot of problems child is supposed to have based on tests done during pregnancy, that they "solve themselves" in the last days of pregnancy. Also noted alot of todays "problems" are a product of modern medicine being able to detect such "abnormal" things.
Anyway, thats the story, just to put things in perspective. We were all shocked, none of us know this could even be a possibility.
Cheers!
Great news. Side note Tim Tebow's mom was told the same thing about him and grew up to win a Heisman.
