Hi my name is Tegan, i live in a country town in South Australia, we recently lost our 3rd child after he was diagnoised with spina bifida, we chose to
termiante the pregnancy at 18 weeks. I had to take tablets that made me go into labour then i gave birth to my beautiful boy that we named Max. I held him and
touch his tiny hands and feet and i feel extremly guilty that i had to chose to end his life. This was the hardest decision we have ever had to make. Two weeks
have pasted and i am starting to feel comfortable with the decision that we have made. I am wondering if there is anyone out there that has had the same thing
happen to them. I can't seem to find much information and i thought that this would be a good place to look.

Hi , i also lost my 3rd child. He had a cyst on his neck which was taking over his little body. I still cry till this day and its been 2 years. but my other 2
kids are my world. It was hard making that decision but i think of my other 2 and it helps me cope. I also had to take the tablet and the procedure is a
D&E. Stay strong!!!

Tegan,
I wish you continued peace and healing. We also had a spina bifida diagnosis, and during those many months of wondering, looking for acceptance, and just needing someone to care ...I found that here and I hope you will be able to do the same. We are 9 months pass our ahc and even though I have peace with the decisions we made, there are still days that you just need to talk to a friend who understands and really doesn't judge. Thinking of you and your family. Sheri |
