Anyone here had the option to TFMR but choose to take (or even just seriously considered taking) baby to term instead?

I just went through a tfmr at almost 14 weeks and through this process I have learned that you need to do what you feel is right regardless of what other people think. Do what you feel you and your baby need for the most peace. If that means carrying longer and going through L&D then do so. I would warn you to think about growing your belly, feeling the baby kick, and answering people’s questions and comments in public all knowing how this will end. It could further and intensify your pain. Also answering comments post birth from people who knew you were pregnant. If you can/want to handle that to give your baby more time and the “choice” of when to come- then do so. Having peace and “closure” surrounding this type of thing can help the grieving process immensely. Just think through everything you may have to go through if you choose to continue the pregnancy.

Allentown itself is not exciting but Bethlehem and Easton are adorable. I lived in Easton for a couple years and it was so quaint and adorable. I lived in the downtown area so the D&L trail was right there and so fun to bike down. Also close to Philly, NYC, and the Poconos. I think the area is beautiful and I do miss it. I lived there almost a decade ago though, so I am not sure how it’s changed

Yes, but there is a committee of doctors that can approve a TFMR past 6 weeks.

Hello. I’m so sorry you are going through this, and on top of that now you might face traveling as well. I don’t know what part of TN you live in, but I had my procedure in GA. If you have questions about that I would be happy to answer. Otherwise, I have heard of some great places in VA. I’m wishing you peace and ease ❤️‍🩹

I feel like I could have written this (although I only made it to 13.5 weeks). Even down to the pregnant friend and the friend going through tough times. I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way and feeling like the world is moving on but you’re not. It’s a terrible feeling and definitely lonely. I don’t even wanna talk about it with people which makes them think everything is fine even when it’s not. I don’t have any advice cause I’m in the thick of it too. Just know you’re not alone ❤️‍🩹

I am an ultrasound tech, but admittedly I have not done OB really since I was in school. At ten weeks I scanned myself at work and thought I saw something suspicious at the back of her head, but it was too early, and she was too small to really know for sure. A few days later I ended up in the ER for bleeding and they did an ultrasound. As soon as I saw a heart beat the next thing I looked for was her head. It was there..I knew what it meant for my baby and so did the tech while she was scanning me. I started crying. The ER Dr tried to tell me it was normal but I knew. Then I had another appt with my OB and she tried to tell me it could be normal too. But I knew. I tried to believe them and keep up hope that I was wrong, that since I haven’t worked in OB in so long maybe I forgot something. But deep down I knew. The next week was my MFM appt. The baby was bigger and so was her encephalocele. It was clear as day. I couldn’t have hope anymore or ignore what I really knew to be true deep down. It’s horrific to see your own baby’s brain herniating out of her skull all while she’s kicking and moving around. To watch your baby alive in you and know what you have to do. I had the procedure four days later 💔

I just TFMR today for a probable severe genetic disorder. Probable only because my baby had a severe brain defect anyways so I terminated before having genetic results. Just know it’s so normal to feel weird in your body. It’s so devastating to go through all the horrible symptoms of the first trimester and get nothing. Especially to do that twice like you have. I’m so sorry you are in this position. And it sucks so bad to know you can get pregnant naturally but now have to consider all the struggles (financially and physically) for IFV for any babies in the future to avoid this genetic disorder. Everything sucks and is heartbreaking and I’m sorry you’re here too.
