For my cousin, her twins were kicking and rolling in there when she found out. Because of the type of twin pregnancy she had, the healthy twin wasn't in danger, so she decided to let her boys have that time together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-devastated-for-a-friend/page/2#post-638526 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 03:16:08 +0000 Boogs 638526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: I know someone's LO who has this. He is a couple of months old now! So you never know how much time you'll get with your LO, the doctors can be wrong.</p> <p>@Mrs Hedgehog: I know someone who used this for two of their angel babies, she had lots of fabulous things to say about them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-devastated-for-a-friend/page/2#post-638522 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 03:11:47 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 638522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found an amazing organization I am working to put her in contact with an organization called Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep whis has photographers who donate their time and talent to photograph terminally ill babies and families. Considering there is no telling how much time she has with her LO, I can only imagine how important those pictures would be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-devastated-for-a-friend#post-638520 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 03:08:39 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 638520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: She chose to leave it in Gods hand to decide when it was time for her baby to go. She wanted to spend as much time as possible with her LO, even if it was a very short time. And I can tell you, she has been absolutely amazing throughout it all. Just going back and looking at her posts, you would think she was having a perfectly healthy baby the way she talks about her love and excitement to see her baby girl and enjoy every bit of life she has. </p> <p>I also have personally never believed in terminating a pregnancy simply because your child isn't "perfect", no matter how long they life would be. I can't say anything against those who choose to. It just isn't something we, or obviously she, could do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-devastated-for-a-friend#post-636926 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 13:11:13 +0000 bunnylove08 636926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that is so sad.

Even if you haven't talked in awhile maybe a nice card or letter would be nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-devastated-for-a-friend#post-636795 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 12:35:57 +0000 birdofafeather 636795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How sad.

It's always appreciated in tragic times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-devastated-for-a-friend#post-636371 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 10:35:31 +0000 Mrs. Pen 636371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This song is heartbreaking, but it seems fitting for this situation... and kind of describes what I mentioned - wanting to love your baby while you can.</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJOSMB0QhFY" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJOSMB0QhFY</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-devastated-for-a-friend#post-636360 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 10:32:46 +0000 Mrs. Pen 636360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was somewhat familiar with anencephaly and it is devastatingly sad... I could not imagine going through your pregnant knowing your child wouldn't be able to live long. I am so sorry for her :( how absolutely tragic..</p> <p>@irene: because some parents want to cherish what precious moments they can with their children before they leave them. I, personally, wouldn't have terminated the pregnancy either. I would want the chance to love and know my child- if only for a few moments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-devastated-for-a-friend#post-636341 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 10:26:57 +0000 Mrsbells 636341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Such sad news... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-devastated-for-a-friend#post-636334 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 10:24:54 +0000 pui 636334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: Some people do not believe in terminating a pregnancy, even with such circumstances.</p> <p>So, so sad. :( My heart goes out to your friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-devastated-for-a-friend#post-636321 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 09:59:04 +0000 mediagirl 636321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so, so sorry for your friend.

I know we'll probably never be able to find out the answer, but that's what I'd do if that happened to me..</p> <p>Again, I am so thankful that we have healthy, well developed babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-devastated-for-a-friend#post-635815 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 06:03:45 +0000 swedishfish 635815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't comment yesterday because I didn't know what to say.
