Hi Christina!
It was a horrible decision to make, but, I felt it was the right one for me.
I knew that the baby had no chance and I didn't want him to suffer for an
hour or even one minute.
I don't know if the deformities cause pain, but, I do know that there is no
cure.
So, my personal decision was to terminate.
It was the worst day of my life.
We all have to do what is right for us. This was right for me.. It was right
in my heart and God forbid, if it were to ever happen again, the same thing,
I would terminate again.
Personally, in my opinion (not criticizing anyone) I couldn't stand to see my
baby suffer.
I know that I would love him while he was alive but, him not being alive
didn' t make me love him less. But, his little body was my baby and I loved
him just the same.
All I know is that this trisomy thing is terrible and unfair.
I am anxiously waiting the results of your amnio. I pray that all goes well
for baby thomas..or you got the results right? Either way, I wish you the
best.
You take care of you and the little Thomas inside you!
In the meantime, I am trying for my next little one
Say a prayer for me and send positive thoughts!
I am sending positive thoughts your way as well!!!
Your Friend, Betsy
