I hope your health is OK, and I hope you find a way to grieve this loss because it is a real loss.

Many women grieve when terminating a pregnancy, even when it is the best decision for them and their life circumstances. Your feelings are valid and it is perfectly okay to have them. I'm so sorry. Do you have someone IRL who can go with you when you go to the doctor's?

A lot of to you, mama.

You know, sometimes doctors just really don't know what they are talking about. Sometimes it's their interventions that cause problems.
I personally know two women who were told that it's very risky for them to carry a baby and they may die and yet both of them ended up being pg twice having healthy term babies. You just really never know if the doctors know what they are talking about, yk.
Maybe if you could post and describe your condition on few MDC boards (for example, "health and healing", "I'm pregnant") you could get some very good info since many ladies here know by far more than doctors do.

This has to be so hard. I would grieve too, but I'd do the same - my existing children need me.

Sending you peace, mama.

There is every reason to grieve over the loss of your child, mama. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise and try to take care of yourself.

Sounds like she's already made her decision. Perhaps we could just support her in that, yk?

Please don't feel like you have to justify your choice. Sending you peace and love.

i am probably going to be the first to ask this, but if you have the abortion, are you ready for the thoughts/emotions/etc that will occur with that decision?

I know you're not on an easy journey and the fact that you're posting in the grief and loss area makes me think you may not want to go that route and want someone to speak up on the baby's behalf.

so i'm doing that.

i didn't really understand your post - so am not sure if you're in need of being on bedrest now or if that's just what happened during part of last baby's pregnancy. keep in mind every pregnancy is different.

is keeping the pregnancy and option at all if you were healthy now and able to work - and then give baby up for adoption if you don't see yourself in a place where you can keep the baby?

i would really encourage you to see if there are other options to abortion - only because again, you did post here in grief and loss and it made me wonder if you don't want to do this. . . .

((hugs)) on whatever decision you go with.
