Hi,

So sorry for your losses Debmac, it must have been so difficult delivering your little girl. No personal experience of this, but my mum lost an anencephalic boy at 22weeks before she had me. She was 41 and the docs made a big noise about it being her age (this was in 1979) but she went on to have me at 42 (a month before she turned 43) perfectly normal and healthy.

One of my friends had her pregnancy ended at around 18 weeks as the baby had anencephaly, 2 years ago, she was told "it's just one of those things". I know that's no comfort as this is relatively rare and you've suffered it twice, but i think it's very important that you don't start to feel it is in any way your fault. It's not.

I hope you get some answers soon. Hugs.

Hana
