AnyOne have a child diagnosed with Turner Syndrome in utero?

That they successfully carried to birth?

all I'm reading is that my baby girl has a 1 to 5% chance of making it, and I need to hear some positive outcomes.

I don't have any experience with this, but my thoughts and prayers are with you and your baby girl

Hi, I just happened to come across this while on the main board. A friend of mine's daughter was diagnosed in utero. It was very scary at the time. Her baby was born full term and healthy. It appeared she had a mild (not sure if that is the correct terminology) case, and she was completely within all normal milestones and developments. As she got older, it seemed that her impact from Turners would be very minimal if anything at all, to the point that their pediatrician recommended they stop discussing it and stop making it a "thing" for the kid so that it did not become part of her persona/define her as she grew up. The family really stopped updating people after that and I lost touch with them except for random updates and Christmas cards. From all outward signs, she does not seem to have any disabilities or delays. I do not know her (the child's) fertility status which I know can be affected with Turner's Syndrome. I wish you all the best in your journey.

As a woman with a mild presentation of TS I can not disagree with this approach strongly enough.
Having TS even a mild with no current complications presentation puts you at risk for many issues (Type II diabetes, hypothyroidism, spatial difficulties with things driving and Geometry) presuming fertility which is highly unlikely she needs to be aware and prepared for closer monitoring and the 50% potential for a daughter to have TS or the realities of adopting or 3rd party reproduction.
she will likely have to go on hormine replacement to develop and get a period.
And so on.
