Tegam, thank you for your kind words.

Nicole, I have been really feeling for you and hope you are holding up ok. In terms of 'questioning whether you will come to a place of peace with your decision' I understand what you mean. In my situation, I wasn't so much 'at peace' because making that decision as a women who desperately wants that baby goes against your natural instincts, but I did come to a place where I knew it was the best thing to do for her. What really helped me cope afterwards was knowing that before we made the decision, we saw every specialist we could, did all the tests we could and explored every option and took into account the 'solid facts'. Also, getting support & understanding of my decision from those closest to me was really important, as I needed them to reassure me after the event. My husband was very rationale about the decision as well, it took me longer to get there, but we did it together, which is vitally important.

It's good that you are taking this week to think & talk about it and to see a psch, all really good steps. If you have any questions at all, please do ask. Obviously I can only offer advise from one perspective, but there are some great ladies here who can certainly give advise from the other, which is important. Hugs to you this week
