[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think it’s guilt talking.

Most of us would have made the choice to terminate. And while we know our logic would be sound and we are still good people, we also know our choice would not be the kindest, most maternal choice. Your decision makes us question our ethics and the conditionality of our love, and that causes some to lash out with inexcusable rudeness. [/quote]

+1. I made that choice and think about it often, and I think less of myself because of it. Still, if I have to make that choice today, after all those years, I would choose the same. 
I do not lash at others and admire them for choosing differently. 
OP, enjoy your child and ignore the noise. [/quote]

OP here.  I hope you aren't too hard on yourself.  Getting a prenatal diagnosis is traumatic, and I have the deepest empathy for anyone who has been through that.  We had to make life-altering decisions under incredible stress.  Ultimately, you did what was best for you, and I did what was best for me.  That's why these decisions are best left to the people most impacted by them.[/quote]
