[…] I view those videos and wonder how this whole event is even possible. How is it that a woman has a right to choose this any way? I actually don’t have hate for the moms who abort their babies, although I can not understand that choice. I can understand how heavy of a burden motherhood can be at times. I can understand how the responsibility of becoming a mother when you are not ready for it can make you wonder if babies can be bad news? […]

I loved this post. When I was pregnant with my second, a blood test showed a possibility some abnormalities, so the doctors were pushing me to get amniocentesis, etc, etc. I had to decline further testing like 20 times and they still were asking, "Are you SURE?" My thought at the time was, "Cool it guys – it's a baby, not a science fair experiment!" It was great to know that there might be a possibility of the baby having some type of abnormality so we could prepare a little if that turned out to be the case, but it wasn't necessary, really. And we didn't care about further testing because it wouldn't change anything – and to us, definitely not worth the small risk of miscarriage for amniocentesis!

It can seem like the docs go a bit test-crazy for sure. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Heidi. Your girls are blessed to have you!

I'm a mom of two girls…when the gynaecologist offered to have a genetic test, we refused. it didn't matter to me if my baby would have a certain illness or genetic predisposition. he or she would be my baby, and that was all that mattered. an opinion not really appreciated by our doctor, but it was our baby, not hers
