Shirleen said:DYJHIW you get a text forwarded to you from your niece, that you barely know basically asking if all her pregnancy health problems are genetic so she can blame our side of the family!
Apparently we're to blame for Thyroid, Anaemia, and SPD!!! Then she's saying that one of these things (Her text was mispelled and text speak and even mispelled text speak!) is going to cause her baby to die or be disabled.
Googled the thyroid thing and it says it doesn't affect foetuses after 12 weeks (I could be wrong though), Anaemia is part and parcel of pregnancy and treatable as far as I know and SPD is common too I had that in 2nd pregnancy.
personally I think she's being a Drama queen!
Thyroid problems are not an issue if the mum was/is taking the correct medication and the pregnancy was planned and appropriate drug regime alterations made. Anyone who says they weren't anaemic in pregnancy us lying or didn't have a blood test and SPD is unfortunately normal just varying degrees of severity - your joints have to slacken to let birth occur !! - drama queen diagnosis seems appropriate.
