Little Miss who is neurotypical? Not nearly the same amount of stress. Some, but not nearly so much.<br /><br />Of course there's my friend who is pregnant with twins after three miscarriages and long, difficulty attempts at getting pregnaant. And pregnancy issues galore. And work stress. She's 37 and been on the pill forever. So far, knock on wood, all tests for everything have come back negative. Each person has her own tipping point?Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07803503583347758969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-59836341779501457032010-10-15T21:01:41.151-04:002010-10-15T21:01:41.151-04:00I think God knows who he wants to give these child...I think God knows who he wants to give these children too. A woman is born with her full complement of eggs, the age factor, men can affect it too. I think it's an interesting theory. then I look at that cute little face and think what would life be like without him? Not nearly as interesting. Easier maybe but he adds a lot to the family.Karen Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892103639142471595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-73332882837256971412010-10-15T10:06:58.343-04:002010-10-15T10:06:58.343-04:00Oh yeah, I forgot...

I am sure I skipped lots and lots of days though. I also took Folic Acid while trying to conceive (with all my kids) and the first 2 or 3 months during pregnancy.JennyHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01016390364789296413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-78614814368636244302010-10-15T10:01:12.793-04:002010-10-15T10:01:12.793-04:00I am not the type of person that stresses over thi...I am not the type of person that stresses over things, generally. So I do not remember being under any stress. <br /><br />I never smoked and was 24 years old when I delivered mr Max. As for birth control pills.... I had been on them for around 6 years. I stopped taking them on our honeymoon as we were going to try to get pregnant. I had no problem getting pregnant!<br /><br />It would be interesting if it is ever found out what causes the defect in egg or sperm.JennyHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01016390364789296413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-37866192068263691702010-10-15T08:45:13.572-04:002010-10-15T08:45:13.572-04:00Stress can do so many crazy things.

If that's right (I'm not sure), then stress couldn't have made the egg "faulty", but it could have affected the way the cells multiplied at conception... Interesting theory though. Personally, I think it might have to do more with a plan bigger than biology.M.Hiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11241956439079629519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-82254934617752585282010-10-15T00:02:49.135-04:002010-10-15T00:02:49.135-04:00No stress here, at least not until late in my preg...No stress here, at least not until late in my pregnancy. I have a couple theories. 1. My husband inhaled more than his share of diesel fumes at work. 2. I had a B12 deficiency that wasn't diagnosed until after Goldie was born. I've heard there is research that links B12 deficiency to "sticky" chromosomes.Brandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704697731192764110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-72935811132541109442010-10-14T21:33:42.799-04:002010-10-14T21:33:42.799-04:00Complete stress.

And you're right about the...Interesting theory! And you're right about the affects stress can have on a body so who really knows what it does internally. I hadn't heard the other possible factors being smoking and birth control though. I have heard that it could come from either the mother OR father though; although I think it was something like 95% of the time its from the mother because of 'sticky' eggs (that's how I remember it being explained to me!)<br /><br />The only stress I really remember at the time we conceived Kayla was the stress of trying to conceive! It took us 13 months and I really wasn't anticipating that. So it became month after month of temping and charting and disappointment. I finally started the process of dr appts for infertility and was going to have an HSG done after the 2ww was over ... except that time the 2ww didn't end; I got a positive pg test instead. I know, more info than you asked about being stressed :) But there it is!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02441176684416139172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-67397673173181821022010-10-14T20:45:48.198-04:002010-10-14T20:45:48.198-04:00No, I do not remember being under any major stress...No, I do not remember being under any major stress with Nick. However I did conceive on or just after 9/11/01 so the entire country was stressed.Jen M.noreply@blogger.com
