    No matter what anyone says; you make the best decision for your family and that's it! Raising a special needs child is alot of work and stressful and will impact the relationship between you and your husband. And your typical children may or may not understand and will have to take a backseat.

    I'm so sorry. I once had an uncle who said, "Don't ever feel regret, because you'll always know you made the best decisions you could with the information you had at the time." That's always resonated with me. This is an impossible decision to make and I hope you're able to feel at peace no matter what.

    @winniebee: I am so sorry to hear your news and my heart hurts for you. I just wanted to share that my older brother has spina bifida. He is confined to a wheelchair and paralyzed from the waist down, but that hasn't stopped him from living a normal life. He graduated college, has a job, and lives on his own... He's funny, thoughtful, and I couldn't imagine my life without him. I am praying for you and your family and that you will have peace with whatever decision you make.

    I'm so sorry you are going through this. It's absolutely horrible. I can't imagine the decisions you will have to make. I recommend doing everything possible to get an appointment with a MFM this week. When I lost my first pregnancy, my OB was able to make a call to the MFM practice they work with and they squeezed me in later that day. It's worth asking if they can make the call because it is time sensitive (even though terminating is legal for several weeks, few providers perform it at this stage and there's a waiting list)

    My heart just dropped when I saw this post. I am so, so sorry to hear and you are facing an impossible decision. Regardless of the outcome, you love your child very much already and you have done the best for him that you can.

    Im so sorry ❤
    Know that its not your fault. Nothing you did or didnt do caused it, its just unfair. Do whatever is right for you and your family and dont worry about what anyone else thinks.
