19 weeks pregnant and found a brain tumor...what to do??? Options???

[javinjen]

I am 19 weeks pregnant and I had a level 2 ultra sound and was told my baby girl has a large brain tumor.  The tumor is 20% of her brain and is pushing the ceribellum down.  My Down Syndrome test results came back abnormal .5% 1 out of 175 chance.  Therefore they did a amniocyntisis, should have results monday.  Then I did an MRI to take a better look at the babies brain/tumor.  

The doctor told me chances are slim she will live after birth and told me I have the option for terminiation until 24weeks.  

Now we just wait.  I don't see much information on the internet regarding this.  I don't think many have experienced this.  We just are waiting for the results now.

I'm praying for a miracle in hopes down syndrome is negative and the tumor is something less serious.  Is there any other possibilites other then a tumor???

That is a relief but I'm sure the unknowns are still terrifying. Thinking of you.

God does work amazing miracles!! My nephew was born full term but was put in the NICU at birth for fluid in his lungs. His lung ended up popping, his body quit pumping blood and it pretty much reverted back to as if he were still in the womb and the dr came in and said that he didnt think my nephew was going to make it. We started praying and calling everyone we knew at 4AM saying pray pray pray and within a couple hours he was already doing better!! He is a healthy 6 year old now and you would never know it happened to him. There are many things that an ultrasound can show but they are not always right. This is still your baby and even if you deliver and your baby does not make it you will still meet them and get to hug and love on them. Praying for your family that things start looking up for you and that you have a peace about what is going on and that the Lord will look over your whole family during this trial. But all you can do is ask for prayer and wait on Him. It really does help and God does truly work miracles and its amazing to see. There are lots of babies born that people said should have been terminated and have grown up healthy and perfect!! People adjust to situations however they need to. You can too!!! There is a little boy in my town who his mom is trying to raise money for a playground because he is in a wheelchair due to a tumor on his spine that paralyzed him. They are very close to reaching their $50k goal to put in a playground. She never could have done it alone but with the help of friends family and a community a dream is becoming a reality for her 4 year old to be able to play like the rest of the kids.
