A mother's Japanese account: the doctor names her hereditary blood disease, and she learns her own diagnosis after her son's birth

Prompt

The next time I went, the doctor (the one I had met at the obstetrics and gynecology clinic) said, “You have hereditary spherocytosis. It’s a condition that’s inherited by one out of every two children 🥲.” I learned the name of my condition after Daru was born.

次に行ったとき、先生(産婦人科で会った先生)が、『お母さんの病気は、「遺伝性球状性赤血球症です。子供２人のうち1人に遺伝する病気です🥲。』と。私は、ダルが生まれて、自分の病名を知った。
