I can assure you it is sadly none of it matters now my son passed away this week turns out I had a bacterial infection which made my body go into labour after all of this I saw my son & loved him more than anything and now reeling with heartbreak/shock .. I guess the world has a cruel way of showing us what we really wanted all along :/

@sharonJJ25
Read the full thread.
This is not a thread the OP wants to come back to.
And its months old so your opinion would be completely invalid by this point.

Have you considered adoption? As you are 20 weeks pregnant you will have to give birth in the normal way to a baby that is no longer alive. You will need to make the decision as to whether to see the baby or not. If you do, you might not see an unwanted baby but a son or daughter.

Would you be able to cope with this? I know that I couldn't but we are all different. Whatever you choose I hope things work out for you.

Probably should have read the thread Wheat Sad

Mothers of stillborns what to hold, see and touch their babies after they are born. So they have to induce labour and mother has to give birth.

A surgical abortion under anaesthetic is removing baby bit by bit, I don't know how else to put it nicely. They cut and remove with tools bits so it's not a whole baby coming out.

I think you will be traumatised by it, things look bad right now, but they won't always be. Adoption is an option x

You clearly haven't read the thread as the OPs baby died so no adoption wasn't an option.
I agree with Bart.

This is an old thread from several months ago. We've made a few deletions, and we think it's kindest if we close it now.
