terminated baby for downs syndrome

[sairam88]

Recently I had terminated my pregnancy after finding that my baby had downs syndrome based on cvs test and 12 weeks scan. My husband and myself are totally devasted cz we had lots of dreams and excitement about our baby as this was our first pregnancy. I had prayed to almighty so much before our cvs results but He also let us down. We cried a lot and even now crying and unable to come out of this trauma as all this happened in a span of ten days. Passing every day is so difficult as we keep thinking about our lost child. We want her back now. So I just wanted to know if anyone has had healthy babies after terminating previous baby with downs syndrome.

OP, I'm sorry for what you have gone through. It must be difficult for you and your DH. If I were you I would give myself a bit of space for a while and give myself a chance to process everything you have gone through rather than racing into thinking about future pregnancies. Look after yourself and please don't second guess your decision. You made the right decision for your family

Moomazoo. I've reported your comments. They are nasty and heartless. The thread title is perfectly explanatory - Why would you deliberately open the thread if you knew you were going to be offended. Do you get a kick out of being so cruel?

In Dont think this is the place for a debate on tfmr vs carrying to term/continuing.

We each make choices that are right for us. Please can we respect those choices. I consider one of my 'friends' on mn to be someone who had a Dd with almost exactly the same diagnosis as my dd2, we made very different decisions about our pregnancies. We still support one another though.

I dont think the op meant to offend anyone by saying God has let her down. I often feel my body had let me down and crapped out on my, I know it's not true logically but after an antenatal diagnosis and having to make a decision we often feel things that aren't logical. I doubt she feels that those of you with children and babies with Down's syndrome have been let down by God.

Please let's be supportive.

Kitty speaks sense, as usual

I am really thankful for all support n comforting replies. I hope i get my sunshine soon and I am able to share my joy with you all.
Also. I am sorry if I ve hurt anyone's feeling. I was totally hurt ..lost and helpless. Jus wanted to connect with mothers who ve gone the this so that they give comfort n solace to overcome my pain. I understand every baby is precious for their parents and I respect it. I ll make efforts to move my thread cz I m new to mumsnet.

Sairam, the thread has been moved. Sorry if you felt jumped on. The reason this topic exists is because you can hide a whole topic if you want to...so the lady who was upset by your post won't see it in this topic. And you can get the support you need.
Sorry for your troubles.
