I am 22 weeks pregnant... when I was 17 weeks along, I had an ultrasound. My partner and I decided that we really wanted to know if the baby is male or female, so that we would be better able to prepare for his/her arrival. We...

ashes2ashes83 I think it's terrific that you love your kids enough and are concerned enough about their education to go to their parent-teacher interviews. I am a high school/junior high school teacher in a small, isolated community in Canada and it is very disturbing how...

ashes2ashes83 I also chose not to have the testing done. I agree with you completely - this baby is already so much a part of me. It really upset me to think that at this stage in pregnancy, a test could convince someone to abort the baby. I think that you're right in that...
