[tri-med] please help me to decide (edward's syndrome)

Hi,
I am a new member to this group.  I am from Malaysia.  I am 19 weeks pregnant 
and I was told by my doctor 2 days ago that my baby is having edwards syndrome. 
 The doctor told me that the chance for the baby to survive is very minimal.  
She asked me whether I want to continue the pregnancy or just terminate the 
pregnancy.  I am so confuse right now!  I might feel guilty if i terminate the 
pregnancy as i can feel the baby moving in my tummy ; i already feel the bond 
between me and the baby and of course I love him so much!  But at the same time 
i also don't want the baby to suffer after his birth.  
I know some of u might have baby with the syndrome.  may I know how is it 
dealing with this baby during their birth ... does it mean that my baby will 
have to be in the hospital for the rest of his life?  How do u feel to see your 
baby suffer with many complications? ... please share with me your experience 
as it might help me to make my decision. 

The doctor gives me 1-2 weeks to make up my mind.  I really need your response 
and advise.

Thank u very much.
 
Rohaizah Salleh
