30% chance?

Question

If you had a 30% chance your baby could be deformed or mentally I’ll what would you do would you risk the 70% chance you could deliver a healthy baby or terminate now? Please help!! 🙏🏻😭

Answer

Personally I would not terminate, but that's just me. No one can answer this but you. Think about whether or nkt you have the means and will to raise a child even if it has a disability.

Answer

I would do further testing to make a better decision. Maybe do the CVS or Amnio to confirm

Answer

That's a very personal choice I think.  I would carry. I had a friend who was told that she couldn't have babies when she did get pregnant they told her baby would be very mentally and physically deformed. They urged her to terminate they were very very sure. Fast forward baby was born perfectly health with no deformities at all and is now a normal 4 year old. However 30% is still a chance. Im sorry you're struggling with this I hope you can find peace in whatever you do

Answer

Personally I did not and would not. I had a 100% chance my daughter would not survive birth and unfortunately she did not. My daughter was diagnosed with anencephaly at 20 weeks and I carried her until I was 36 weeks pregnant. She was alive until birth and as much as it has hurt I would not trade the time for the world.
But ultimately it is your decision. You know what you can do, emotionally, physically, and mentally.

Answer

Personally I would take the 70% chance of a healthy baby. You’re baby is a gift and though everyone would be over the moon having a 100% healthy baby, sometimes life doesn’t work that way. It depends on your personal beliefs. And if you can live with the termination. Personally, i would regret ever not taking the chance. There are so many resources out their for mentally/physically handicapped, mentally ill children, they’re no different than a happy bubbling baby. They just have a little something that makes them extra special .

Answer

I have heard many stories of diagnoses being incorrect.  I would take the 70% chance and keep it. I hope you have peace with your decision.  Babies are such a huge blessing.

Answer

I would take the chance but then again I work with individuals with disabilities so I also know how to deal with.

Answer

I had a 100% chance of non- survival with my BRA baby, we were induced at 21 weeks and he was alive until birth. I would look at your odds as positive, there’s a 70% chance that your baby would be perfectly healthy and those are good odds. Even with my 0% chance in the back of my mind I still think what if I had carried to term.

Answer

I would love the baby just the same – every one is a gift from God.

Answer

I would keep my baby. Even if there was a 1000% chance of a physical or mental illness. I believe God never gives you situations you cant handle. You never know how much of an impact your child will have on someone else. And just because life will be "different" really makes no since. Because everyones life is different to everyone else but "normal" to that person. Idk if that made since lol
