Tough.

I was looking forward to completing my family. I have a little girl who is 17 months old and am pregnant with a little boy I am 26 weeks along.

At our 20week scan we found babies long bones to be 4 weeks behind. We found out he was a boy and couldn't be happier but scared

At 24 week we went to see a specialist they told us he not only had short limbs but clubbed feet and an abnormal shaped head but still didn't know exactly what we were dealing with

26 weeks well yesterday to be exact we saw another specialist who told us if we go through with this pregnancy the best case scenario for bubs was to spend the next 3 years in and out of hospital, if the head gets worse he will need surgery for his skull and have to start treatment on clubfoot as well as having back problems for most of his life as well as other problems and worse case he dies after being born.

So we have been given the termination talk. I don't want my baby to go through pain for most of his life. My husband and I both have depression and anxiety so mentally and also financially we aren't equipt to have a special needs baby and I'm struggling to come to terms that this is what we will have to do for the good of our family and the good of this little boy that I can still feel kicking inside of me.
