Awful MRI results - termination at 30 weeks

Last Monday we received awful results from an MRI scan. The scan confirmed worries that our baby?s brain was not developing. They have suggested this has been caused by a stroke. The outcome for our daughter is awful; she may not survive the rest of the pregnancy and if she did would need assistance breathing and medical intervention for the rest of her life. We could not make the decision to terminate and the hospital has given us 2 weeks to come to terms with things. We knew at the time we would not continue and have some to the heartbreaking decision of termination. This is likely to take place next week, when we return to the hospital.

We also lost her idential twin at 14 weeks and since then the health of our remaining baby has been in doubt.

I feel so lost/broken/angry that we are loosing our much loved daughter Rose.

Dear Allways, so very very sorry for you and your DH losing baby Rose and having lost her baby twin earlier. I don't know what to say but didn't want to let your post go unanswered. I hope you can draw on the support of your family and friends in these sad times and may God give you the strength to cope with it all. x
