Emotional rollercoaster of pregnancy screening tests


My wife and I have a 16-month-old daughter.Everything is great.We found out that my wife is pregnant.We weren't planning for it, but great!The thing is.... When my wife was pregnant the last time, our OB saw something or thought she saw something, and we were referred to a specialist who scared the crap out of me and my wife.There could be a chance that your baby has down syndrome they said. We don't really know for sure they said and it put the fear of God in me like nothing ever has.It also strained our relationship, because I didn't want to go through the pregnancy. (Yes, I'm a insert appropriate adjective)Wife is 7 weeks pregnant now. We only found last week.I'm not F***ing ready for that emotional rollercoaster again.Once that specialist said everything is fine, we went back to our OB. She was like, "did everything turn out OK?"We were like, "yeah, they did something called a 'harmony test'".Then she was like, I do that for my PPO patients. (We have HMO.)And under my breath, I was like you bitch!!!!Any advice on how to handle the next few months. It's freaking scary. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/295A7un
