my husband of 7 years and i had been trying to get pregnant for many years. when i finally saw that + on the test i was so happy i cried. it was not soon after that we started to get abnormal test results back. finally, we had an amniocentesis done at 16 weeks…we found out that our son was “non-viable” only after our doctor dragged his feet for another 3 weeks before giving us our results.

it took us another 2 weeks of soul searching before we decided to terminate the pregnancy. i have never felt as much grief as i did knowing i would never see my son, but i am so thankful that we were able to save him the unimaginable agony he would have been in for the short time between birth and his inevitable death.
