Thanks! The thing is to me, while obviously its a huge thing if the twins were to be permanently in an awful quality of life- I had a condition as a newborn that my Mum was literally told, and I quote "let her go and have another baby, she's just going to suffer" and I turned out great. Yes I have lifelong health issues but they didn't stop me living a full and happy life so far..and are not likely to stop me appearing pretty normal until I'm like 80 or something. She begged for the treatment knowing I could have been in pain and suffering and disabled. I was actually in very traumatic care for 2 years and hse must have wondered if she'd done the right thing, but now we know she did (at least I think so!).
So I'm loathe to say "their lives aren't worth living" even if we knew what problems they faced, and when we only know the possibilities its even harder.
I guess I feel I don't fit on the termination board just because I have such a limited view of when its even appropriate to talk about having one - I suspect a lot of women on there are very pro-choice and I just don't see choice as appropriate word for a medical procedure, let alone this one.
Has anyone had a full caesar? Would you share anything you were told about them? I know I have to factor in my med history as well but even knowing what you were told would be great.
