[quote=Anonymous]17:44 here. OP, your update post was very thoughtful and although I would not judge you either way, it sounds to me like you have made a thoughtful and informed decision. Which is not to say an easy decision, or one without emotional conflict, but making a thoughtful and informed decision is the best you can do when you have to make a decision. I also hear you on the strong maternal drive, and I can sympathize with any sadness or conflict you might feel; decisions can be the right choice but still have emotional impacts. I hope you will be gentle with yourself and allow yourself to feel and process whatever emotions you feel.

And I hope you will not take the hateful comments above personally -- pregnancy should never be a punishment for a perceived lapse in judgment or an obligation you must assume for someone else's (sibling's?!) perceived benefit. It's amazing how much judgment comes out of the woodwork in situations like this -- even if you've walked a similar mile in your own shoes, you can never walk a mile in someone else's and if you've never been on that path in the first place, well, it's awfully easy to assume the mantle of priggish moral righteousness in a vacuum.

I wish you peace and happiness moving forward.[/quote]
