hi, I am glad to have found this site where people can relate (unfortunately) and not make judgements. I am 7.5 months pregnant and have just been told that our son to be Noah, has a terminal fetal disorder where there is no hope of survival. I appreciate reading stories that are shared by others to know I am not alone. If one chooses the route of immediate induction using vaginal misoprostol, I am wondering the process, affects/effects, speed of it working, discomfort, pain, average total amount of hours from start to finish, etc. I was told that you would be able to monitor the iv pain killer and wonder if this too has side effects and is it effective for reducing the pain significantly- or any other pointers to alleviate the pain. I would appreciate any feedback of your experiences with this. I did not have a good labour for my first daughter, who is fine, and am very nervous and want to prepare myself. As well, if there have been some parents or partners who had difficulty seeing baby after it was born, whether stillborn or while it was born alive and surviving for the few short hours or minutes? I am unfamiliar with how to check any responses. If you prefer to email me directly, I would appreciate it asap to my email [email protected] within the next day or so as we have to notify our doctor about our decision before I get too far along. thanks for sharing.
