I'm above mid thirties, finished NYSC 2015 and i just secured a government teaching job after spending more than 3 years teaching in private schools. I met my wife earlier 2019, she was in her final year in school, we dated throughout the year and planned to get married after she graduated. She graduated and we make a move for our introduction, then we suggested to have the marriage before she go for her Nysc so as to enable her serve in our home state as I already have a rented apartment to start a small family.

As we were planning for the marriage, we were also planning her NYSC. She was required to have a medical certificate for the NYSC which of course required blood test including genotype. She came back with the result of her genotype as AS. That was the only time I remember to take genotype issue serious. Even if I have some little knowledge about it before, I decided to research more about it on the internet and also met some of my friends who are medically inclined. I came to realize my own genotype test is also important at that moment. I might have done the test in school but I didn't pay attention to it usefulness so I don't remember the result.

I don't usually fall sick except for normal malaria when there is mosquito bite, never had a drip line in my body for once, never slept in a hospital bed, I don't have any reason to take note of my genotype or blood test.

Her results then prompt me to have my own test done too which came out to be AS also. By these periods we have convinced our families to choose a date for the marriage so that we can have the wedding before her NYSC. Marriage is to hold in a week time when I got my own genotype result.
From my further findings about AS and AS couple, I discovered how risky it is for their offsprings. I tried to explain to her but she turned a deaf ear, she alleged me of trying to break her heart at that critical period. She reported to her sisters they tried to blame me but I make them all realized it's not my fault because throughout my visitation and introduction to their family nobody has ever ask us about genotype. I am an orphan, I don't have any closer family to guide me except for my sisters who can't wait for me to get married because of my age, they also had never thought of it as well.

My wife sisters gave us some examples of older couples who were both AS with only one or no sickler among their children. My wife also made a threat of killing herself or she kill me if the marriage didn't hold. She even suggested we proceed with the marriage and break up after few weeks of marriage because of the shame that may follow if we stop the marriage or maybe she was desperate because of the marriage certificate, I don't know. I maintained my stand of backing off the marriage but she reported to my sisters also. Her sisters and my sisters later tried to encourage us to go ahead with prayers since we have chosen the date. We were advised not to disclose our genotype result to anyone again because people will discourage us.

Even though I was skeptical about the marriage, it later commenced with less spending because the Nikkah was held in a mosque and a tent for refreshments.
After the marriage we tried to talk about it, and she told me, she was afraid, may be she was pregnant before the marriage that's why she insisted on going ahead with the marriage. She also revealed to me that she was not happy with the decision as well, means she also know the implications but she have to avoid the shame of stopping the marriage after inviting guests to the occasion.

During these period genotype before the marriage, my love for her reduced drastically because of her desperation and her refusal to understand the risk we are about to take. I tried to avoid pregnancy from our first month of marriage but I later gave up and she conceived immediately. Now she is closer to her delivery. We hardly talk or play together inside. We only discuss about feeding, maternity and things to get for the coming baby.
I discovered we quarrel over little things that can be over looked by lovers. I'm not happy in the marriage, I spend most of time watching TV or stay outside all day because of unresolved issues.

I'm planning to arrange for a divorce after she delivered the baby because this is my first baby and I would love to have 2 or 3 kids more. I can't take the risk of allowing any of my children to be a sickler.
Advise is needed if my plan for divorce is a good one and do I stand a chance of loosing anything?

I thought there is now a test that can be done at a stage in pregnancy to determine the genotype of the foetus, and know what options are there before birth if it turns out to be SS.

andyanders:
Op, listen. A good friend of mine had just same issue like urs, both AS, and he is the only son. Both young graduates. They never knew until both of them had to go for test after the wife took in. When he told me, I counseld him to show his wife more love and allow God take control. The baby boy came and came with AA. The second child came, a daughter- AA. The last child came aa.

Just shower your wife with luv and don't heep any fault on her alone 'cus you're part of the blame. The mistake has been made.

More luv and don't seek for any divorce.

Cancelling the marriage when you discovered your genotype incompatibility could have save you a your spouse from the heartache you're going through now
But all the same, the deed has been done already, you have to face it together.
You have a 25% chance of having a baby with SS genotype, let's just pray it turns out your first baby isn't SS.
Just try and support your wife now that she's pregnant.
As for this, there are tests that can be carried out to determine the genotype of the foetus in utero..
Amniocentesis and Chorionic Villus sampling.

Yoighaman:
@OP; If that child turns out to be SS, he or she would never forgive you or your wife. How can you both be so cruel.

newdawn2017:
op re u marrying because of love or just to ve children? can't u just be married with no children & be happy in love with ur partner. Na was for African men o

Nitah1:
The cost of the test is 200k my brother.

Boredasf:
I'd advice you to run a DNA test on that baby after she delivers.
I don't trust that your wife.
She probably manipulated you to marry her quick cause she wanted to put another man's baby on your neck.
My uncle recently discovered his 6 month old baby isn't his after I encouraged him to run a DNA test.
Women can be very manipulative, please be smart

Sweeetheart:
I think that's on the safer side because birthing SS can be so challenging, if na only money it would have been OK



na real depression

ghettochild:
Not here in Nigeria but abroad n even if it will b here in Nigeria, it will b expensive

Sweeetheart:
How much does DNA test cost in Nigeria?

4xplore:
Advances in Science has long solved this As As problem. Save up $7000 and travel to India with your wife. Perform a medical procedure call PGD and case is solved. None of your kids will be SS..

Na me you wan take drag dis dull thread to reach page 3?

Getting emotional indeed. Over an over-flogged, drrrrrry topic?


Please buzz of my mentions and keep your “funky genotypes“ off my ID.
Thanks.


*like me dey come NL with uselesss recycled tory about ancient, genetic, blood craw-craws from cyber nonentities phew*

lamidi21:
What you need now is thinking on how to support your wife and your child to have a good life in this our challenging country ,not thinking of divorce , unless you are telling us you don't love her before now.
From your narration it seems you are Muslim , if you are desperate in getting divorce its better you discuss with her and both of agreed.
Then get marry to your wish.
May God be with us all.
