The agony of choosing termination for my baby who had foetal anomaly (article) » stories of prenatal diagnosis

We know that prenatal diagnosis is more common than many think. Yet, we rarely hear the stories of the people that have received unexpected news about the health, development or genetics of their unborn baby. We wish to change that so parents no longer feel hidden or isolated.

We have collated parents stories to share with the variety of reactions, experiences and outcomes.

Note:

  • These stories appear in random order.
  • Stories which help one person, may be unhelpful for another.

The decision-making category includes stories that reflect the vast array of potential experiences.
