nancy i also had a baby with anecepaly and we decied to teraminat the pregnace and at the time my daughter was one and she to wanted her sister but what i told her was that gad need her little sis to help with the rain. little ons that are under the age of 4 only understand god and hevan so i you tell him that his brother went to be with god in heavn i think he will understnd you but, be prared for lots of ????? from him . i am a nuse and have seen this before i had our bethany 1-20-05 and it is a decison that as a mom you just don't want to face and feel the life is unfair to you . the mothers that i have help moust of them do teraminat the baby just because there are some many problums that can come up .like you being at risk becaus of the babys head not being formd and he could cut you inside and you could bleed to death. this is the reson that we chouse to teramanat . the main thing i can tell you is to put it in gods hands i know at this time that you probly
don't want to hear that but just put it in gods hands hun he knows what is right for you and would not give you some thing that he din't think you could handle if you ever need to talk just email ok hun like i said i am a rn in the obygn unit as well in the nicu i have to get back to work now so i am going to close wiht i have you in my thoughts and prays and my god keep you and bless you .

Nancy, I am very sorry to hear your little one has anencepahly. This
is such a heartbreaking thing to have to go through.My name is Nicole
& I lost my son Logan to anencephaly about 9 months ago. After much
thought & research I decided to carry Logan to full term, so as far
as giving advice on early induction i have no experiance. I was very
pleased in the end that I made that choice.I was able to have LOgan
in my arms for over 33 hours alive.
My only advice would be to read others personal stories,think about
it & do what you think is best for you.Everyone told me that they
thought I should induce labor because they thought it would be too
hard on me, & it was hard, but I know either way things would have
been pretty hard.I mean either way my baby was going to die, but I
personally wanted every second I could possibly get with my little
man. I have a six year old son & he was able to come meet Logan &
hold his baby brother.
I know that most mothers do go on to have healthy babies. Just make
sure you take the 4mg folic acid for at least 3 months before
conception. I have not gotten pregant yet since Logans passing, Im
bot sure when I will be ready either. Possibly after the first of the
year.'You will be in my prayers
Nicole
