Abortion is a viable option for any woman that chooses to do so and this is a forum safe to discuss it. This is a choice forum and all will be supportive to those who want to discuss abortion as an option here.
So, have you spoken to a doctor about your baby?? Maybe it is premature to consider abortion due to a genetic condition when you don't know if this baby has that. When did you find out your babies had the condition in your previous pregnancies? How far along were you?
I understand that you are depressed and am so sorry about that. Do try to stay active, eat, drink and get rest. Important to force yourself to take care of yourself especially at this time. Talk to your doctor and let us know what they say. peace

You sound like your from the UK? I am an anglophile so I will side with you on that lol... In the US we have WIC (women, infants, children), which is a government assistance program that helps pregnant women and their children by assisting in the cost of certain food and infant formula. Foodstamps is another program for those with low income in order to help buy basic necessities and food. Medicaid is health insurance provided by the government for those below a certain income level. All of these things are funded by the taxpayers of each state.
I'm not meaning to jump down anyone's throat, I am merely voicing my opinion. O personally am not against abortion. Having had one myself years ago I am a very prochoice individual. As for the original poster, I too would've made the same decision. I've seen children suffering in hospitals every day of their life with no sign of going home in sight, and parents who's medical bills amount to more than the cost of most homes. There is a such thing as quality of life and that really needs to be considered on these instances.
To the original poster-
Doctors will very very rarely quide you in the wrong direction, as I truly doubt your doctor has. It's there job not to give you any false hope, or any white lies. Like some ladies say, T Major is much more complex that what you can learn about from a WebMD post, if you could do that, doctors wouldn't be necessary right? I'm confident you and your doctor have made the right decision. Try to keep your head up. Stressing won't help, although I'm sure it's hard not to do. You can feel free to message me at any time to chat. You aren't alone in this fight, there's plenty of lovely women on this app that make wonderful company :) I'll keep you in my thoughts.

First of all to the momma who posted, keep your head up and think positive! Things can always turn around 4 the good. Try to eat something, I had really bad morning sickness all I could do is eat soup,crackers, and drink water and ginger ale.
Secondly, I don't agree with abortion but the doctors gave her little to no choice. Who really wants to watch their child grow in pain, and not really have the life it deserves? I know it's aganist God's will, but I don't think she was wrong in this case. She was trying to be a good mom.

Thank you everyone.
Thank you Jessdrag. My sis friend give birth to a girl without knowing she got thalassemia major. She say if she know her baby girl got thalassemia major. She say if she know she will give up her baby too. coz she everyday see her child cry in pain. Now her child is 8yrs old but cant find suitable bone marrow. doc say the precentage to find suitable bone marrow is low. Most doc will suggest abort because they say baby will live in pain. I really dont wish do make the choice. I dont want my child to live in such pain. Because will have 75% having healthy baby. Therefore my hubby and I didnt give up hope and try again. We really hope to have a healthy baby. We really love and want to have a baby. A healthy baby is what we only ask for.
You have to think positive! :) try to limit stress, it wont give You anything good.
Im epileptic, during first pregnancy doctors actually forced me to taking my medicines which caused some developing problems for my daugther.
Now I resigned on medicines, but on my own risk, which means that during attack I can miscarry, very dangerous, but I believe everything will be okay and stress wont help me :)

I pray too that this baby is healthy......and don't let anyone tell you it was wrong to abort the previous two babies. I'm sure you have all the facts on what this disease is and you made the right decision for YOU, and you took into consideration the quality of life those babies would of had. I can only imagine how heartbreaking that decision would of been, and once again, I hope all turns out well with this pregnancy, try to stay positive x
While I do not agree with aborting a baby, this mom actually thought about her baby's quality of life rather than her self. She / everyone knows that with this disease this child will only have a few years to live and will be hospitalized for 75% of it being subjected to horrible pain, tests, and procedures.she did what she believed was beneficial to her unborn despite the depression on pain she feels after two losses.
Honey you have done the right thing for your baby don't let any one tell you different. You made a SELFLESS decision and for that I give you propes. You are not some one who simply did not want their baby , but someone who wanted their baby more than ever but knew for their child's sake it was not ment to be. Both of those children known their mothers love because she has done what a lot of mother's cannot , given them peace with the lord. I pray for your third pregnancy to be happy and healthy good luck and god bless.

If I got choice I sure will keep my baby. But Thalassemia major baby will grow in miserable state. They cant walk or talk properly. They cant live in this world long. Every few days need to hospitalization and blood transfusion to keep their lifes. In this world got 50% people got thalassemia minor which pass down by our families. Thalassemia minor can lead to a normal life.
Each pregnancy I got 75% chances of giving birth to normal baby. My gyne and phychiatrist know these. My first two baby got thalassemia which gyne say baby life wont last long and need blood transfusion every now and then after birth. Therefore if the baby got thalassemia major the only way doc give is to abort after knowing the test result in between week 12 to 15 of pregnancy.
Thalassemia is a blood disorder passed down through families (inherited) in which the body makes an abnormal form. The disorder results in excessive destruction of red blood cells, which leads to anemia. Thalassemia major causes stillbirth (death of the unborn baby during birth or the late stages of pregnancy).
Children born with thalessemia major are normal at birth, but develop severe anemia during the first year such as Bone deformities in the face
, Fatigue, Growth failure, Shortness of breath, Yellow skin (jaundice).
