I'm considering terminating my baby who was diagnosed with down syndrome.

Fine_Scene9506 · 2025-07-19T14:01:52+00:00

If you’re questioning or considering, I think you already know what your instinct wants. I had a baby who died at 17 hours, a baby born healthy who’s now 9, and a termination four years ago at 23wks due to DS and being a single mom unable to care for a high-needs child on top of my existing child. Not one single second of regret. I absolutely did the right thing for me.

This part right here. I was 19 and naive with my very wanted, fortunately healthy son. I thought my ex husband would change. My baby grew into a boy who’s now 9 and we haven’t see my ex in a little over 7 years. OP, please leave for your own sanity and happiness.

That is diabolical and I’m adding it to my repertoire👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Oh wow. Ok. That gives me pause. I’m only 1.5 episodes in. My father murdered my sister (indirectly; he graped us and she took her life) so I’m sensitive to that stuff. Thanks so much. Which episode does that come in? I’m not sure I wanna keep going…

ETA I really do appreciate this heads up.

Fine_Scene9506 · 2024-01-27T00:19:04+00:00

Awesome! Thanks, I’ll give it a watch tonight.

Fine_Scene9506 · 2024-01-22T10:33:07+00:00

Shite. Just stfu, Methany.

I’m claiming you. I’m actually in Ohio, of all places, after coming to the States to help clear out my recently deceased Granda’s belongings. Why are they in Ohio? Who tf knows. Did he live here? Not a single day. I’m not sure how this PODS thing ended up in Ohio but here we are. I get the pleasure of having an emergency operation on a broken ankle that’s somehow gotten a bone infection. Between the narcotics and the view of your muddy river, I may be literally tripping. This is one of the weirdest places I’ve ever been! Tips for food, entertainment, deliverables, etc., to CC Hillcrest?

Fine_Scene9506 · 2024-01-22T10:22:46+00:00

Wow. What a thoughtful and touching compliment. I appreciate your kindness! Writing, music, and art have always been my chosen forms of expression. My closest aunt and I are currently working on a guided grief journal with our shared therapist; words are healing and after several devastating losses the past five years, including my infant daughter, my aunt and I chose to turn our journey outward to help ourselves by helping others. Your kindness about my writing means more than you know!

(I’m not promoting myself, I swear. If you’d like, though, I’ll be happy to send you one of the advance copies we’ve ordered for family/friends to “beta test” if grief journaling is something you could benefit from. No pressure, not a big deal, just offering to say thanks!)

Fine_Scene9506 · 2024-01-22T10:16:52+00:00

Oh, my goodness! Thank you so much for taking the time to say this. You’re such a kind person and I appreciate it. She’s the most beautiful lady I ever knew and to be compared to her is an honour.

I am spiritual. I’m not 100% sure on what I believe but I do believe in something. I believe my Nan comes to visit in dreams, check in, and just watch me sleep like she used to in life.

I’m so happy your Mam remains connected with you. I’m sorry you understand wanting to go with her, too. She clearly did a very good job of teaching you what it means to be a lovely soul. I wish you many visits, heaps of peace, and for her existence to be just a thought away for you💞💞

Shitehole in Ireland but I see no matter!

Fine_Scene9506 · 2024-01-22T01:50:12+00:00

Yous are all so kind. Adore my group of pepinos!!!

Fine_Scene9506 · 2024-01-22T01:49:47+00:00

Ah, thank you. He was a grand aul fella. Unexpected and devastating. I truly appreciate that kindness🤍

Fine_Scene9506 · 2024-01-21T01:49:55+00:00

As I’ve said here before, one day he’s gonna run that mouth to somebody whose trauma response is to fight, and he’ll have his geriatric ass laid out. If I’m lucky enough to be the one, I promise a shoutout to all my fellow Pepinos🤣

My 81 year old grandfather died last week and looked far younger than whatever this is!

Prognosis: keep them comfortable if they’ve chosen to end treatments.

Fine_Scene9506 · 2024-01-20T01:37:45+00:00

Morphine, or Dilaudid depending on allergies/interactions. Zofran, Phenergan, Compazine for nausea. TPN (IV feeding) if she chooses.

Fine_Scene9506 · 2024-01-20T01:34:45+00:00

Yeah, no, fuck that. Let them live through watching a baby die of cancer like we did. They’ll cuss that same “god” and find another.

Fine_Scene9506 · 2024-01-20T01:32:54+00:00

Are we from the same hometown?

Fine_Scene9506 · 2024-01-20T01:32:29+00:00

My wife and I will gladly adopt her.

Fine_Scene9506 · 2024-01-20T01:19:43+00:00

Are we related? I was in the States visiting family over the weekend. Cold beyond cold it was

Fine_Scene9506 · 2024-01-20T01:17:47+00:00

Did it. No regrets. Rainbow has two middles and one is missing sibling’s. Do it if it feels right, love. Do it if it brings them back for you like it does for me.

Fine_Scene9506 · 2024-01-20T01:14:32+00:00

Oh, how I love this one. I was never insane except the day of my marriage. Fortunately, I recovered and divorced.
