Facing a poor prenatal diagnosis?

Many pregnant mothers find as the New York Times reported November 2022 that most initial diagnoses for fetal abnormalities are wrong. Secondary diagnoses tend to be expensive, invasive, painful, and with risks of harming the baby. Most diagnoses are still experimental and many mothers expecting to give birth to children with severe headcaps actually give birth to perfectly healthy children. Those who do give birth to children who are severely handicapped or with ill health can still hold and comfort their baby and give them the best life they can have for however long these children will naturally live. Some children are able to receive surgeries in the womb or surgeries following birth. Many families would like to adopt a handicapped child. For children expected to die at birth, there are hospice programs to help parents through the grieving process. This allows the child to live as long as possible and provide comfort and care for both the child and his or her family.

Here are some animations of surgeries that may be performed on preborn children:

You may wish to contact your local pregnancy care center or church pastor for additional resources, support, and to talk through options that do not involve killing your child.
