>Hi Nancy, I'm sorry 2 hear about your baby. The decision to carry
full term or 2 terminate is a difficult to make. I chose to carry
full term. The memories of carrying my precious little girl for
nine months I shall cherish forever. Eventhought she was born still
born I dont have any regrets. I didnt have any complication with my
pregnance or delivery. Many people are going to give lots of advice
on what 2 do, mine would be just to listen to it but make the
decision base on what is best for you and your family.
