    My eyes filled up with tears reading this. I am so sorry that you and your husband are going through this. I am so thankful that you are sharing your struggle so that other couples can also share their experiences. I wish you and your husband much healing and tons of hugs.

    @Mrs Hedgehog: I understand your opinion, but the OP has shared a decision that is undoubtedly the worst thing that's ever happened to her, and was looking for emotional support, not to be chastised or judged. She did not start a debate or ask what you think about her choice. She is simply someone struggling with a horribly tragic situation and looking for support. It's not appropriate for you to post your (unsupportive) opinion about her choice. She did not request it.

    @sadbee: I hope you find peace & comfort during this time. I do not judge you for the dession you have made. No one can rightfully do so with out having been you, without having lived your life, & without having to make the choice you are having to make. To each their own. You have been in my thoughts are prayers hon. I wish nothing but the best for you and your family.

    ETA: I have edited my post. By no means did I mean to be unsupportive. After rereading it I realized my PSA was insensitive to the op & I appoligize.

    If anyone would like to raise additional issues, please open a separate thread. I'd like to keep this thread focused on supporting the OP.

    I am so terribly sorry you're going through this and having to make such a difficult decision. My heart breaks for you and I hope you both find comfort soon. You can only do what you both feel is best for your family. In a million years I would have never guessed how difficult being a parent is, and honestly, I don't feel like I could handle a special needs child at this point in my life. Lots of love being sent your way.

    I'm so, so sorry that you and your husband have had to go through this. I've been through something similar (trisomy 18 markers discovered at our anatomy scan, then confirmed via amnio), and I know how truly awful it is. It does seem completely miraculous, having been through this, that *anyone* manages to have a healthy baby-- the hardest thing is trying to wrap your head and heart around what has happened to you. Lots and lots of love to you.

    PSA: Words mean things!
    While I'm sure it's not the intent of many of the people that say they'll "love their baby no matter what," I think it's important to consider the other side of this. Do you think that women ending much-wanted pregnancies didn't love their babies? (Not trying to start an argument, as I know that everyone is being generally supportive, but I think it's valuable to be thoughtful about your words.)

    I just want to offer you tons of support! I think it's really brave to post about controversial topics because you are helping others in the same position who are too scared to talk about it. I'm sure this has been extremely hard and traumatic and I hope you and your husband are doing ok!
