Re: Tests while being Pregnant...
Yes Ahmadjee, thats SUCH a tough question. All we can do is make the best choice for ourselves and our situations. And not judge others who do the same - but make choices that we THINK are wrong! These things are just too personal, to each couple, to their lives, to their families...no one should interfere with decisions about this, it needs to come from yourself, from your heart, without interference and without worrying about the jugdement of others.
I mean, would I have a child if told that the child was severely handicapped? I'd absolutely want the child. But IF I were to die, then who takes care of this child? I'd not be able to provide in that case so what then??? Do I have the right to do this to a child? And to whomever this child would go to??? Is it better to abort this child in early pregnancy when the child has no concept of life and death? I thank the Good Lord that I never needed to answer these questions in a serious manner. And I SO respect and bless those who addressed these questions and decided to go ahead anyway. But my heart also bleeds for those who have had to make the ultimate choice for their unborn. It is NOT up to us to judge that choice.
