I am so sorry for what you are going through. I was in a similar situation as you are in now. At 16 weeks I found out my baby had anencephaly, a condition incompatable with life. Even tho she is living now, she will either pass during birth or shortly after.
I also had to hose to terminate or go on,
I chose to carry her. I am currently 38 weeks. I regret nothing and I am super scared, but I cant wait to meet her and hold her.

I dont judge anyone for thier choices. Its really up to you, and I hope the decision is easy for you, and you have lots of support for whatever you choose

  Hi...so sorry you are having to make a choice like this....but it is a choice only your immediate family and clergy should weight in on....

Yrs ago a close friend engaged to get married, asked me this question about her fiance's relapse of cancer...."should I still marry him, or not?"

My reply was this -" Will you be happy with not sharing his last days together, or will losing him to cancer if and when it may happen, will you be happier knowing you have had this time to enjoy and be together?"

Only you can answer the questions.....BTW- my friend married her fiance and he did lose his life, but she said she would not have changed a thing....the time they did have was wonderful.... <3
