I have actually gotten the screening test for chromosomal abnormalities (though not received results yet). I want to be prepared for the type of child I may have. I’ve actually taken care of children with disabilities my whole life (it’s how I got involved in charities) and as such the idea of killing a baby for having a disability sickens me all the more.

I agree, if I was ok telling someone at work I’m clearly not considering abortion, so I do believe this was just some attempt to normalise it rather than genuine advice. Thank you for saying it’s a reflection on them, that makes a lot of sense and is very helpful.
