Product Description:
This sensitive book offers a comprehensive discussion of the options available to prospective parents after hearing bad results from prenatal testing. The pros and cons of both termination and continuing the pregnancy are presented in a non-judgmental way, offering families information and reassurance that they must do what is right for themselves. Quotes and stories from people who have both continued and ended the pregnancy are included, clearly showing that neither choice is easy and neither one offers a short cut. Both are painful and life altering. Too often family, friends and even medical caregivers may put on pressure about what they think would be best. The big question is, 'Which decision is the one that you can live with for the rest of your life.' Excellent resource list and bibliography are included. Families are encouraged to read this guide at the time of their decision-making, before they make a permanent choice.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating: - Helpful, sensitive, accurate
This book should be available in every perinatalogist's office. It is a short, yet comprehensive book that could help a couple make a heart breaking perinatal decision. No decision is easier than another and this book provides non-bias key points which should be considered before a decision is made.
Rating: - Very big help when dealing with our loss.
This book was given to us by a genetics counselor and it was a great help and comfort to us while dealing with the loss of our baby.
