I knew several people (worked in an OB office) that had a prenatal diagnosis of Trisomy 18. Only 1 continued to term. Baby died a few hours after birth. [ Reply | More

Did the couple that carried to term use Perinatal Hospice? How did they choose to remember their DB? Thanks. [ Reply | More

OR. They site religious reasons. I think they think it's their child and they would be harming it if they didn't carry it to term. They are going to have some type of funeral and name the baby. I probably would not make that decision, but I can follow their thoughts. [ Reply | More

One more reason to avoid religion. More suffering is better? For whom? [ Reply | More

There was a possibility of this at 5 months for me. I had amnio and turned out otherwise. Had it been diagnosed, however, we would have terminated. Carrying to term, labor, and the emotional connection that occurs in those first minutes was not "worth it" in the end for us. Either way - early termination or carrying to term - would have been devastating. Honor the baby however you find necessary. Some name the baby; some have something very special engraved (necklace, ring); some mourn in other ways (planting a tree, etc...). I am so, so, so sorry. There's no way to guide through grief other than time. [ Reply | More
