Hello Rohaizah I am so sorry that you are facing this difficult decision. We had our baby Ava Grace last October and she is doing really really well-but she did have heart surgery at 3 months. My experience was that the doctors are not very hopeful in these situations. We had an amniocentisis and they found that our baby is "mosaic" trisomy 18 so not all of her cells are affected. Attached is a picture of our happy little girl. You may want to check out this website for support and a lot of answers it is www.trisomy18.org There is a lot to consider. I highly reccommend that you go to the other website too. It is full of parents facing the same situation as you right now. Some go on and carry to term to meet their little one and often say goodbye. Some say goodbye early and terminate their pregnancy. I think it will be very helpful to read the stories of others.

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 ____________________________________________________________________________________ Need Mail bonding? Go to the Yahoo!
