    No movement and doctor wants me to terminate
    Helo everyone I am 23 years old and I am not 19 weeks pregnant with my first child. This has been a very heartbreaken pregnancy because if it isn't one thing it's another. At 11 weeks they found 6mm of thickness behind the baby neck, and a CVS was performed and down syndrome and other birth defects ruled out. A week ago during my second trimester ultrasound at 18 weeks they told me that my baby arms and legs did not move through the entire ultrasound and that skin started to grown around my baby feet. Everything else was fine, but just a little fluid in the lungs. After I was told the problem they saw in my ultrasound the first thing they told me was to terminate my pregnancy like it was no big idea. I am against abortion and I'm really against it now that my baby is a actual living human being. They told me that there were no further test they can do and they wanted me and my boyfriend to make a decision at that moment.

    I was very angry and frustrated at the fact that they just told me to terminate so fast. The doctor only told me bad things that could happen to my baby if I was to conmtinue the pregnancy. There is so much going on right now with this pregnancy that its breaking me down, I do not know what to do and how to really handle this situation. I have until 24 weeks to decide what I want to do. The doctors didn't even set a next month appointment for my OB OR ULTRASOUND. Has anyone came across someone with similar problems with there pregnancy as I am having? Please help me out because I don't know what to do and it's a GIRL WHAT ME, MY BOYFRIEND, AND FAMILIES BEEN WANTING.

    I know its not the same thing, but my sister in law was told that her baby had Down Syndrome and told to have a abortion, she chose not to. Her daughter just turned 13,and she is fine. Pray and trust your heart.

    I can't even go through the thought that I will have to deliver a dead baby.

    Yes the father is very much involved. And he's wants a second opinion and he also is for whatever I decided. He said he's going to love our child no matter what.
