Thinking of you!

@LabradorLover: Thinking of you and hoping your ultrasound brought a lot of answers and clarity.
-
Yesterday we had our ultrasound and everything looked normal. They said we should do a fetal echo of the heart in 4 weeks to confirm no heart issues even though they didn’t see any today.
My husband and I discussed last night and we are still at opposite sides of this decision. He is very worried about his quality of life and how it will affect our lives and just wants a “normal” child. I can’t even begin to tell you how mad it made me. We ended up fighting and going to bed without talking to each other so it wasn’t a very good night.
I can’t fault him for feeling that way, part of me does too but the other part of me can’t even think about the possibility of giving up this child. We worked so hard for him and finally have him and are just going to give him up? I guess I do need to think about the bigger picture but it is very hard for me to separate my feelings from the decision.
I decided to take the day off from work today because I’m a blubbering mess and can’t stop crying. I just don’t know what to do but certainly don’t want a rift in our marriage over this either. I’m so afraid that we won’t get pregnant again and this was our one chance or something or this was the only boy we were going to have, etc.
I’m just stuck in a tough place.

@LabradorLover: that's so hard. I don't have any advice, but sending you lots of love.
-
@LabradorLover: I can't even imagine how hard this is. Whatever you decide will be the right decision for you. Support is always here if you need it
-
@LabradorLover: I'm sorry you guys are having a hard time and hope you can come to some kind of resolution. Sending you love and light today
-
@LabradorLover: I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine how hard it is. We all certainly fight over much lesser things. I hope time can bring you closer together in whatever decision is right for you. Sending you lots of love and hugs
-
@LabradorLover: Such a difficult situation. I messaged you.
-
I'm so sorry you're struggling with that to do and aren't on the same page as your husband. Sending you lots of hugs

I'm so glad the ultrasound didn't turn up any issues, but oh, what a tough position to be in. I think that in general, dads feel less connected to the baby before it's born because they're not the ones physically carrying the little one. It's easier for him to picture a potentially difficult future and make decisions based on that without as much emotional connection getting in the way. I'll wall you in a bit
-
I am so sorry you are in such an impossible place and on top of that not feeling the same way as your husband. Just sending you so much love

After talking with my mom and again with my husband, we have decided not to proceed. I think getting past the “I feel like an asshole for even considering termination” feeling is something that was majorly holding me back. We just really feel this will be for the best because we don’t want him to have a life of struggle.
I appreciate everyone’s love and support. The doctor was able to get me in tomorrow and my procedure will be on Thursday. I’m so heartbroken but know this is the right decision.
-
@LabradorLover: ((hugs)) and ((hugs)) and ((hugs)). So much love to you

Not an asshole, thinking of you during this very difficult time.
-
@LabradorLover: just because someone else could make a different choice doesn’t make this decision wrong and you are definitely not an asshole. I’m glad your doctor was able to get you in quickly and I wish you a lot of peace and comfort in the days ahead.

Thank you to everyone who has posted on here. I really contemplated writing this post originally and then of course posting about our decision but it is truly wonderful to see how supportive everyone is.
This is undoubtedly the hardest thing I have ever had to do, especially with something I have wanted so badly for so long but I know it’ll be the best for us and him.
Thank you so so much
