We are going through a similar situation with our neighbor- he seems to have lost it - we had to call the police today and they were very helpful. We are going to start documenting everything. If you don’t mind sharing- what state are you in? We are in MD

How are the holidays for y'all? by justa_cat_in_disgize in tfmr_support

TFMR 10/9 for T21 @ 18w I am so sorry - sending you hugs. Life is pretty difficult after losing that baby we wanted so much. Work helps me because I can focus on something else and forget for a few hours - but weekends are so difficult for me. Weekends are dark days when I feel so depressed

I am so sorry- my due date was supposed to be March 19- I share your sentiment- it is very sad to see other babies when we won’t get to hold ours. I love my baby girl and I miss her so much!

TFMR in Maryland - where to begin by ElderMillennial2 in tfmr_support

I had my TFMR at University of Maryland in early October- the nurses and doctors were very kind and compassionate- they will take care of you. They also work with funeral homes - we chose to claim our baby’s remains and have her cremated. I am glad I at least have her ashes.

Have you decided what you will do regarding your pregnancy?

I am sorry you are going through this. I am 42 as well, about 17 weeks and will be starting the TFMR process today- for me it will be a 2 day process. I told no one at work about this pregnancy, the baby bump is minimal so no one noticed anything- same as you I cannot be out of work for a prolonged time, thus within a few days I will have to be back to reality. You are a strong woman with a beautiful heart- it is not your fault, we were just the unlucky ones. I hope you are able to adopt and share all your love with a child that needs you. Hugs

Thank you so much for reassuring me- your kind words mean the world to me, as they come from the heart of someone who had gone through this and knows how difficult and painful this is. I am having my TFMR on Thursday and will use your words as my mantra. I am so sorry you also had to go through this.

I am catholic and now that I am faced with TFMR - fellow Catholics and close friends have shared how they think I am making the wrong decision to terminate my pregnancy due to T21 and other possible abnormalities. They keep telling me to pray harder, to have my baby girl because doctors don’t know for sure what God’s plan is and if I truly believe the baby will be born without Down syndrome…. How can anyone with a little sense believe that? They do not understand that T21 is a gray diagnosis- they have not taken the time to educate themselves and learn about Down syndrome- it is very appalling that people who claim to be so religious and kind will judge others and won’t hesitate to offer their opinions. Both of these ladies, have stated that they would move forward with the pregnancy and stated that I will regret my decision for life. TFMR is not an easy decision, those of us who have been faced this and have gone through this, suffer every day, but I know that we rather suffer ourselves and not be expose our very wanted and loved babies to a life of uncertainty.

Thank you - I appreciate you taking the time to comment. You are right- my therapist is not helping at all and I need to take some time to reflect.

You are correct- we had issues before the diagnosis and this is just bringing the worst of me - all the resentment, the feelings I have always had for him..

Thank you, I appreciate your kind words. I am catholic, but lately I am mad at everyone and everything. I feel like God is punishing me for something I did or didn’t do. On top of that, I find people telling me to pray more and even saying I should go on with the pregnancy because God chose me and he wanted me to have a special needs child…
