>>>>>>>>>>>>, a new colleague at work has been having a
similar conversation with me. She chose to terminate due to severe
abnormalities where as I didn't. She thinks that my decision was harder
whereas I think she is the stronger one of the two.
The rest of the team at work think we are both mad.......we both think we
are quite normal :-)) depends on which side of the fence you're
standing.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<,
you are both right, both roads are hard to fallow
this is why even though I agree with the right to terminate a pregnancy that
I don't participate In the process as I don't believe the families are
given all the information, they are not told of the Rebecca's or the Alex's
ect ect ect, they are told their kids will die. Which in the end is true as
Paige is the oldest Known living T18 and died before age 50. The reason
I know people are not given the info is that I have worked in Labor and Del
and some of the doc,s knew her Dx they still do terminations and not one
has asked me to speak to a family, only once in the 17 years since 'Rebecca
was born has a Dr ever asked me to speak to a patient ( and I have been in
Maternal newborn, L&D all those years so that has to tell you something
