Talia, we were told that we would have to make the decision whether to terminate our pregnancy or not as Trisomy 13 is not compatible with life and Emmanuel had full Trisomy 13. It was definately the hardest decision we have ever had to make. We did decide that we would terminate as we didn't want Emmanuel to suffer any more but I actually went into labour naturally and delivered Emmanuel after 15hrs of labour. A very high percentage of babies with Trisomy 13 don't survive full term or if they do pass away not long after birth.

Regards,
Dianne
