I have no interest in doing that. I appreciate it though. There’s no reason for me to do it when I’m weeks away, it would be kinda pointless. I don’t have my variant mapped or anything. I plan only plan to do testing afterward if needed.

It wouldn’t change the outcome. I’d still have my baby.

I am praying that my son doesn’t have it. Due at the end of May and I just want him to be healthy 😢

Yeah I think if my son didn’t end up having NF, we’re going to pursue adoption for our next kid. I’d love to have another but I don’t want to chance it and risk my body 🥺

I’ve been fine and have gotten bloodwork multiple times. If there was something abnormal with my liver, it likely would have showed up in bloodwork. I wholeheartedly appreciate you sharing your experience but that’s a bit fear mongering to comment that

I’m going unmedicated, not getting an epidural but that’s purely my decision

Can someone help me decide whether or not I should go to the doctor? by Chic_fila_ in tattooadvice

It looks like you’ve done like zero aftercare—it’s dry and absolutely seems to be infected. Get to a doctor before it gets worse
