I just wanted to comment that I have done ALOT of research on
anencephaly & found this is actually not true.The babies skull is
not sharp & there is no risk of the baby cutting the mother. Doctors
say alot of things, they arnt always true. Very sad that they do
this to people. I have also reserched many other things doctors told
women about carrying babies with anencephaly, most of those were
false as well. Any of risk to a mother carrying a baby with
anencephaly could actually be something that can happen in ANY
pregnancy, some have complications,but most dont.The major thing is
devolping poly(extra fluid) as long as this is monitored theres no
problem. I personally did not experiance any complications while
carrying my son Logan.

Im sorry everyone here has to go through this.You are all in my
prayers.
