What are your thoughts on terminating for medical reasons? Either because of the viability of the baby or the health of the mother.
Just a couple months ago, our daughter was diagnosed with anencephaly at 21 weeks. No senses and no chance to live. Without loving her any less, we immediately knew we wanted to terminate the pregnancy. It was that or a guarantee to watch her die a few minutes after birth.
I could barely find stories of other moms who went through this, couldn't find those terms in any support website. It made me feel quite alone. It's still very much a loss but apparently not talked about, so I guess very much a taboo.
