I can only say what I say because I have been blessed with 4 healthy children, so I don't know exactly what I would do. What I wouldn't do is get an abortion, I believe all life is precious and I have some friends who have children who do have disabilities and the children are happy and a pleasure to be around.

A very very difficult issue. In the UK women get scanned at certain points in pregnancy and sometimes things are picked up there. Often terminations are available. Some take them and some don't. I've never personally experienced anywhere near this but I did have an experience that is somewhat relevant. My sister was pregnant and her relationship was terrible and she asked me for money for a termination as she didn't want to go the NHS route as the experience is not that great. After a lot of thought I said I'd pay but eventually she decided not to go through with the termination and I have a 9 year old niece. Even that fills me with guilt as I could have paid for a procedure and she wouldn't exist. I do think about that quite often. These things need a lot of thought and whatever decision is made will have ongoing issues.

Count yourself blessed because you are gifted with an angel. Cherish your babys existence while it is still in your womb and when it will be born. Soon you will give birth to an angel.

Thankfully with the advance in technology, we can now learn a lot about an unborn child. It would be a very hard decision to make whether to continue or terminate the pregnancy ..But if I was in that predicament, to help me make that difficult decision, I will imagine me as the one who will be born with deformity .. and I definitely don't want to live in this world with physical or mental dysfunction . It's no one's fault when things like this happens, but life is meant to be enjoyed ... not to be spent in suffering ..

This is sad. Though I haven't been in such situation, I can still say that this is truly a heart-breaking experience. I know that it is a happy feeling to expect a child and prepare for his/her future. But life is unpredictable as always and unfair most of the time. Still I believe that time heals all wounds.

Life is unfair, truth hurts but whatever I am going to say is personally entirely my own perspective and I am NOT advising that you follow my line of thoughts here. Fairness in one particular sense has eluded you but I am sure you are well compensated by all the love that is shown around you supporting whatever decisions you have made and will make ahead with regards to this unfortunately uncontrollable incident. One thing you need to remember that whatever decision you may make is one entirely yours and no one has the right to say that you are lesser than whatsoever or whosoever for that matter. It will be viewed with the due respect of someone going through such an excruciating and tough situation. On the question posed on your title, let me say that I will not hesitate to abort and terminate my pregnancy. I felt that if I am going to labor the entire term and let him or her die from the defects then I am sorry I will make this fatal decision and explain myself when I get my chance to explain it to him or her. To me, it is cruel for him or her and very flesh cutting painful for me to go through and watch this with my eyes. It will also affect the love ones around me both emotionally and physically so I am sorry but I will not hesitate to terminate my term. Please know that I am NOT suggesting that you follow my decision because my life and surrounding is very much different from yours. But the body and baby is mine and I have the right to choose and decide the path ahead.

@leslyn_joy I am really sorry to hear that he did not make it, I was too fast here. My sincere apologies and condolences. I hope that the both of you will be able to move forward from all this and start anew again. Again, I am sure the bond between your husband and you would have increase manifolds after this ordeal. Take care and remember the fact that the both of you are still young with much to go for.

in understand and respect ur decision dear. but in my case, i didnt terminate mine because im looking forward for the miracle and at that time i cant believe what truly happening. the OB's even told me to terminate but i refused because i can feel him so alive (he's very active .. kicking here kicking there..) i deliver him via c-section at his 38weeks and he lived for 10 hours.. im so thankful that my husby was able to hug and kiss him and able to say goodbye as they were pumping him .. helping to breath,, ... he looks like his dad .. now , im pretty sure his living happily right next to Jesus ..

Dont get me wrong. I know it is the most difficult situation anyone can ever get into. But be practical and thoughtful. Doctors might have suggesting you getting the fetus aborted. And probably they are right. Yes, I know this is a controversial statement I am making, but please do consider all factors. Your pain today is only yours. Not the baby's. But once the baby is born, I am sure you would find her problems more hurting and her sufferings more painful than yours.
