I could never pretend to know what I would do...it's just too much. I'm forever grateful for my healthy daughter, but my heart still aches for the baby I miscarried before her. I'm amazed at the people who choose to give birth to a child who will most likely die. They are far stronger than I!Kim Woodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453865880498528069.post-89876594382373523052010-04-27T13:05:20.240-04:002010-04-27T13:05:20.240-04:00In my heart, I know that I would choose life... an...In my heart, I know that I would choose life... and although, I've never experienced a BFP.. I know I would choose to continue with the pregnancy, because I couldn't bring myself to donate our embryos to science research or destroy them (if we had a successful initial tranfser that resulted in multiples). I (and by I.. I do mean WE) choose to donate those embryos to an infertile couple... to give the couple a chance at parenthood and the embryos (our biological children) a chance at life. Alas, our initial transfer resulted in a BFN, and of our remaining two frozen embryos only one survived the thaw for the FET cycle, so we didn't have anything left to donate, but we would have in a heartbeat.. just as I know we would parent that child to the best of our abilities should they come into our lives. ♥Hurdles of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07689864896914421050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453865880498528069.post-45624989968993863402010-04-26T22:10:42.841-04:002010-04-26T22:10:42.841-04:00I fully believe that each life, no matter how shor...I fully believe that each life, no matter how short, has a purpose. It is not up to us to decided between life and death. Our fate lies in God's hands, and he will call us home when he is ready, whether that's 2 hours or 100 years of life here on earth. Each child born is special. As a mother, I would fight tooth and nail for my child, even if that meant I only had a few days with him or her. What an awesome story of strength and love.Desihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03107108775051076332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453865880498528069.post-28291867006231613542010-04-26T11:10:59.462-04:002010-04-26T11:10:59.462-04:00I read/watched both.

Though at least having a baby and losing it, people would acknowledge the loss. Some people don't acknowledge a m/c as a loss. <br /><br />Any way around the whole situation would suck. I don't know what I would do... besides grieve for what "could/should/would've" been.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239799916404126735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453865880498528069.post-62561321444736244592010-04-26T09:40:08.172-04:002010-04-26T09:40:08.172-04:00I have to say that before Bennett and all the many...I have to say that before Bennett and all the many blogs I follow (especially the ones that have babies with anencephaly) that I would have seriously considered terminating. And I'm pro life but if a doctor told me that my baby wouldn't live I would think well, that's the right thing to do. But after reading about how these mothers have changed and how people around them are touched by there unborn child and their story, I see the purpose of it. God has a purpose in everyone's life no matter what a doctor tells you, I feel you have to give it God and let him take care of it. So now, although it would be emotionally straining and very difficult I would not terminate. I think terminating would be 100 times worse and living with that for the rest of your life would be awful in my opinion.Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803241505573440439noreply@blogger.com
