[quote=Anonymous]I would talk with your husband (and yourself via a therapist, confidant, or pastor) about how you feel about termination for medical reasons at both early and later stages. Testing is extremely accurate now such that you would know pretty early about almost all chromosomal issues. That said you kid could be colicky, have adhd, odd, or any other personality issues that will obviously affect your family dynamic and older children. Or they could be the light of everyone and bring everyone closer together. But If your dh is worried and hesitant I would be reluctant to add a third. I had a surprise pregnancy at 45. My dh was thrilled and did not want me to tfmr but I was prepared to consider that depending on the issue. My kids have become more independent and were always close to eachother and their dad so that has worked out while I am in baby mode and have had to detach from them more. But both parents have to be all in obviously. [/quote]
