Hello everyone my name is Michelle. About a month ago i had an
ultrasound done at about 12 weeks into my pregnancy. The next day
me, my mother, and the baby's father got called into my doctor's
office and she told us that she was more than sure that my child had
exencephaly which as you know comes to be anencephaly. I had to make
a decision on what i wanted to do about this. We went to get a
second opinion and the doctor told us the same thing. The decision I
made after doing nothing but thinking about everything was to
terminate the pregnancy. I really didnt know what to do because me
and the baby's father are not together any more and i was alone
basically in making this decision because i barely got to talk to
him about anything. I went to the hospital on Thursday and they
induced by labor in order for me to just have the baby now. (I am 16
weeks.) By Friday I had not dialated at all so they sent me home and
said to come back Sunday and they would try again. Well after hours
of crying and considering every other option I realized i wanted to
wait my until full term and just have the baby so if i could spend
any time with my child at all i would. I finally talked to the
baby's father and he wants to do the same thing. The only problem is
that i never get a chance to talk to him any more and i have noone
else that is there for me to talk to because a lot of people do not
understand why i want to do this. If there is anyone out there who
would like to just help me get through this i would really
appreciate someone to talk to about this. My screen name on yahoo is
mimib17 and my screen name on aol istant messenger is justalil2crazy
or lovemimi1717. Or you can email me at mimib17@...
Thanks,
**~Michelle~**
