Yes, I wish we could meet too. I'm sure I'd learn a lot from you during the course of my medical practice
Whenever u are done with your Medical Education in Nigeria or you feel tired of the practice there, you can challenge the USMLE & come over to the US.
More still, the PLAB is there & doable.
Although the exams will require a lot of financial input for someone writing from Nigeria, most especially now xchange rate is hitting d ceiling.

My partner and I are aware of our genotype situation both of us carry AS gene we both have a child together my first daughter who is AS genotype PRAISE THE LORD.

After finding out that I am also AS my partner after the birth of my daughter has told me he didn’t want to continue having children with me and would rather we both raise the child and get new partners. we want to let that connection go and 1 year later currently I’m pregnant with a baby boy who is now carrying the SS gene.

My partner has moved out of house ,, Paid me money to abort the baby and he went to start a new life far from me and the baby. I’m not sure if I should use the money abort the child and start my life or keep the child and pray for Gods forgiveness!!!!

Don't train a child only to loose him eventually to sickle cell and go through more emotional torment... just do it now and save yourself then eventually and more torturous moment
Knew someone who had a SS child in church, after 23 years the child died and she couldn't control herself
There is no guarantee when he will go, it can happen sooner or later
Just save yourself now

As disgusting as it is for me to say this, abort that pregnancy if you can, you are definitely not prepared for what’s to come if that baby comes.

I have a simple question for you and it goes;
How did you know the Baby in the womb is SS?
Where were you informed of it?
And how did they arrive at such?
With this I can advise you..
Mind you, I hate Lies a lot!

It’s detectable, called amniocentesis and chorionic villi sampling and very much available in Nigeria. So it just might be true

codemaniacs:



they are not always sick, what you call always sick is in reality been in pain... there's a difference between been in pain as a result of internal blood clots blocking the circulation of blood in the body which leads to the shutdown of vital organs in the body which then leads to death and falling sick as a result of cholera or malaria...

most sickle cell patients are lean not because they don't eat but because due to their SS genotype their bones don't naturally grow big ...

You saw only one sickle cell patient and you're using that to judge all other sickle carriers... that's very ignorant...

your comment is very ignorant...
Bros I'm ignorant thanks but I know all of these things you are saying, I'm just being blunt and factual about what may become of most of them, I knew about others that were males that died, they weren't really falling sick but still died, one of my sister's friend also died while in labor, it's mostly one complications to the other. I don't want to be perceived as a negative person but the reality on ground is that they eventually die if you don't have the means to altar the effect since the drugs are very expensive.

USMLE isn't for me. I don't have energy to start reading pre-clinicals. Besides I don't really plan on doing anything that involves US...the place is overrated
I'm thinking of doing PLAB. It's much easier and mostly clinical. By God's grace, the finance shouldn't be a problem

This is not a true story , though I’m not ruling out this type of event .
All I’m reading here is awareness of sickness cell anemia as regards to partners of both AS or AS , SS , pregnancy and child bearing .
Thanks for the awareness. Let those who have ear hear .
At least I’ve learnt somethings from the write up .
1) Determining the genotype of a baby in the womb.
2) The name of the test to be carried out .
Good luck to all the AS and SS genes . Nature happened to you .
Till now it’s painful whenever I remember the death of one of my relatives . He died at 27 of sickle cell.
RIP Tochukwu.

Everyone will eventually die not just sickle cell carriers..

You can say that sickle cell carriers that don't manage their crisis episodes can pass on earlier than expected.

I had went for a newborn screening and a report on the baby health. I told the midwife and my doctor of my situation with my partner and I wanted to be safe. They took tissue sample from my pregnancy and tested it
Did you do this test in Nigeria?

Nature didn't happen to AS and SS..

It is due to lack of government regulations against the birth of SS babies.

Due to a man and woman who know that they are both AS deciding to have children and hoping on luck that they don't have SS children.

Everyone will die but we are being realistic here, the pain and the eventualities of them dieing is more painful, tormenting, expensive than a normal human being, they don't usually live till old age. It's just a mere probability if they do.

You are almost entirely Correct.
The preparation for USMLE is beyond rhetorics.
The exam does a lot to both the body & the soul.
Not just preclinical but the depth of stuff is just mircocellular.
PLAB is better for someone who wants to integrate as quickly as possible. However, I just learnt the UK wants to adopt the USMLE standard.

Contrary to your opinion, the US is not overrated as purported. U can't be outside the shores of a country & term it overrated. You can only pass such verdict after firsthand experience.

Finally, Practicing in Nigeria is not easy especially when you know what to do & how to do but the materials are not available. This is unlike the advanced world wia dey seek for interesting & seemingly insurmountable medical mysteries.

NIGERIA would have been paradise on earth if the whites had stayed longer. The Independence came to early. Then only a few people were enlightened & exposed to formal education.
Then we had our Traditional Governments who were our Traditional rulers. We barely had idea of what democracy is, not even till this moment.
So, immediately they left, the MILITARY took over. & these military men were not put through on rudiments of leadership & they have led till now.
Imagine someone like BUHARI as the Head of the supreme military council of a country yet he couldn't provide ordinary WAEC..

OBJ did fairly well by educating himself all through his leadership career as president. Meanwhile, these men occupied positions meant for the BEST BRAINS. So, the situation can get better, but it's going to take a long time.
(My Opinion Though)

why didn't he wear a condom or go for a vascetomy? They are both stupid and irresponsible.
Re: I’m Pregnant With A Sickle Cell Baby - Help by CSTRR: 10:14pm On Apr 22, 2022
You are a very useless and callous woman and your husband is equally useless and hopeless.

Because of your inordinate lust for pleasure, you want to sentence a child to a life of pain and struggle.

This child should never have been conceived.

And it's not as if you guys did not know.
You just decided to risk it.

May Jehovah punish both of you in his own way.

Seek the face of God

Tell God, let your will be done


Hand it over to God

And if you don't have miscarriage till you give birth, keep going to the house if God, let him keep hearing the word of God.

The word of God dose is stronger than anything, watch dove any channel that's talking about the word of the Lord even during the pregnant

But first give God option

Watch the video below and then make up your mind. The lady in the video was a sickle cell patient and at the height of her pain, she made a passionate plea for people to stop bringing children with the SS genotype into the world. She died about a week or two after recording this video unfortunately.
