How AS couples can avoid SS children - Twitter user reveals

The kind of red flag one gets from parents or family members when you, as an AS carrier, bring home another AS carrier to show off as you finacé(ée) could oftentimes be described as extreme or irrational. It could seem like the whole world comes crashing on you after a lot of emotional investment has been made in the love affair just like the Titanic ship did in 1912.

Well, all that is about to take a dramatic twist after a Twitter user dished out shocking revelations on tricks you can play to avoid what the world of medicine revers - having an SS child.

Medically speaking, AS couples risk chances of having a child with SS and medical practitioners always advise intending couples with AS genotype not to get married in order to avoid giving birth to babies with sickle cell anemia.

@haddassah_x in a series of tweets on her Twitter page said she has devised a means that could help intending couples with AS to escape giving birth to a child with SS.

She tweeted:

“So I came I. Twitter and saw Genotype AA I’m an AS myself and so is my boyfriend. We found out recently and I started panicking. We went right to Google to check compatibility and all. We found that even tho is not the best combination but there’s a solution to it.

“If an AS and AS get married they would give birth to AA,AS,AS, SS. It’s a 25% of having an SS.

“And there’s an option (mostly at sickle cell centers) for the couple to Carry out a test within 9-11 weeks to check the genotype of the foetus and abort if it turns out to be an SS therefore saving themselves and the child the future pains

“This post is getting longer than planned but what I’m trying to say is intending couples shouldn’t panick as there’s a solution. You just need to carry out more research and consult a doctor. You shouldn’t give up on your potential relationship because of the AS and AS genotype.”
