hello there luckymom
i have to tell you as you can already imagine
it is and will be difficult for you and any other parent to make a choice for their babies welfare,especially if friendly doctors are very sure about the operations success
there is no easy way of starting to say what i want to say here...so:
1: its going to be difficult because
a)you want your child to be as "normal" as possible
b)the doctors seem to know what is best for you and your child
c)any action you take,you will have to be responsible for,for the rest of your life
d)when you choose to tell your child about their birth,it will be a catch 22 situation
i feel for you but greatly like your attitude
you will do your best
at least you didnt abort!
because many babies that can be termed intersex
are more and more being either aborted or cut or sewed
you obviously will do your best to look after your loving child
i cant have children because i have xxy chromosomes
called klinefelters syndrome
but dont learn everything you read
we are all different......
and you are as you say lucky...lucky to have another baby...half you and half your partner.....and half of each gender.....that is a gift...as i know
so the first reply couldnt be topped in its politeness
i think sooner or later we have to allow more babies to be allowed have their genitalia that they are born with...there are so many more cases like this that are un-reported
its not that unusual at all
especially seeing as doctors are so complacent about the whole procedure
---who knows how many are born that way a day!?
---or how many xxys there are !
interesting
and thanks for your story
