With serious medical issues, would you still have a child, or terminate?

Question

Liver disease, heart condition, steroid induced diabetes, many medications

Answer

Would get rid of it if I had it I would feel so guilty and wouldn't want to keep a child that is gonna be in and out of hospital and just suffering in general I have serious issues with my respiratory system but my mum didn't know this until I was about 13 months old cos that was the first time I ended up hospitalised because of it but when I was born I almost died due to not breathing .

Answer

Only reason I say "Terminate" is because I wouldn't want my baby to suffer and live off of medications and be in and out of the hospital.

Answer

Well I have a slew of medical conditions and my husband and I still wanted kids and it is possible with a little bit of sacrifice or changing my meds to ones that are safe   ..... We wouldn't have it any other way.  Currently 11 weeks pregnant and overjoyed.

Answer

Since I have type 1 diabetes, there is a lot of possible complications that can come with pregnancy for myself and the baby. So if I did end up pregnant I would most likely get an abortion.

Answer

My aunt was about 20 weeks pregnant when she found out that her baby girl would have Spina Bifida. She was told that she wouldn't live past 3 years old & would be in excruciating pain every day of her life, not to mention would never be able to walk, talk or function properly. My aunt & uncle made the difficult decision to induce labor & deliver their baby girl at 23 weeks. Their baby girl lived for about an hour before peacefully passing away in her momma's arms. It was awful, but they felt it was the best decision for her.

Answer

I know terminating sounds unfair and cruel. In my opinion I wouldn't want my child to be born with any medical conditions that I could have prevented and if my medical condition was life threatening then I think it would be unfair to bring a child into this world and then leave it behind to grow up without a mother.
