Thanks for the recent messages. As they say time is definitely a healer. I think having xmas and summer holidays was actually a blessing in disguise - great distraction. If anyone else goes through something similar and wants some support, I am happy to talk.]]> Tue, 24 Jan 2012 13:52:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41138&PID=1425172&title=termination-for-medical-reasons#1425172 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41138&PID=1422460&title=termination-for-medical-reasons#1422460 Author: tigger,roo

Hi MandzG - I had a medical termination @14 wks in 2010. www.inspiredbyjack.formumotion.com is a great forum for mothers who have lost babies in any situation. Its nz based and the mothers are really supportive. Also try sands - the ladies that admin inspired by jack and william are involved with sands too.
Huge hugs and glad you have supportive friends and family.]]> Fri, 13 Jan 2012 09:42:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41138&PID=1422460&title=termination-for-medical-reasons#1422460 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41138&PID=1421447&title=termination-for-medical-reasons#1421447 Author: Aims11

Hi MandzG - I've only just seen your post, so sorry to hear about the loss of your baby. I had a termination for medical reasons in August at 14 weeks due to a serious neural tube defect. I found reading the posts on babycenter.com helpful, they have a termination for medical reasons group - and it's nice to know you're not alone. Big hugs, it does get easier. xx]]> Mon, 09 Jan 2012 21:13:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41138&PID=1421447&title=termination-for-medical-reasons#1421447 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41138&PID=1419407&title=termination-for-medical-reasons#1419407 Author: spanky77

I'm sorry you went through this, it is a horrible decision to have to make and I can only imagine how hard its been. I have joined a yahoo group for balanced translocations - I don't know if either of you have been karyotyped or whether your little girls chromosomes were a new event. Either way if you want to pm me I can send you the link if you can't find it(I don't log on OB very often but get email note if I have PM).
I get emails from the BT group as they come through and quite often read about women who have terminated for medical reasons - heartbreaking stuff. And its something you hear about usually once in a blue moon, or not at all, unless you're running in chromosomal anomaly circles - more of a reality for some of us.

I wish you peace and healing, all the very best of the best to you both]]> Sun, 01 Jan 2012 20:35:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41138&PID=1419407&title=termination-for-medical-reasons#1419407 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41138&PID=1415164&title=termination-for-medical-reasons#1415164 Author: MandzG

Thanks ladies. I have been talking lots to friends and family so I think that will help me get through, but I will have a look at the two suggestions as well.]]> Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:41:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41138&PID=1415164&title=termination-for-medical-reasons#1415164 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41138&PID=1414264&title=termination-for-medical-reasons#1414264 Author: Genie

I'm so sorry for what you have to deal with. I too had to terminate for medical reasons at 21 weeks, 8 years ago now. I remember how hard it was to find help too, it was a long time after someone told me about http://www.thelostones.co.nz/
Hope that helps :)]]> Tue, 06 Dec 2011 21:37:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41138&PID=1414264&title=termination-for-medical-reasons#1414264 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41138&PID=1414260&title=termination-for-medical-reasons#1414260 Author: kebakat

Have you tried SANDS? They are apparently really good. I had a medical termination at 22w for severe spina bifida. Support groups is something I've not felt comfortable with myself so I've not looked into them. I hope you find one that suits you!]]> Tue, 06 Dec 2011 21:27:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41138&PID=1414260&title=termination-for-medical-reasons#1414260 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41138&PID=1414246&title=termination-for-medical-reasons#1414246 Author: pikelets

I am so, so sorry MandzG!

I dont know of any support groups here - my only experience of Trisomy 13 was when a friend lost her baby (also around 16 weeks) but she is not in NZ.

I'd recommend searching Yahoo groups or Facebook to find other people in the same situation.]]> Tue, 06 Dec 2011 13:07:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41138&PID=1414114&title=termination-for-medical-reasons#1414114 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41138&PID=1414112&title=termination-for-medical-reasons#1414112 Author: MandzG

Last week I sadly had to have a termination at 16 weeks of my baby girl who was diagnosed with Trisomy 13. Over the last few weeks I have been looking for support (online I mean, I have amazing support from my husband, family & friends) and couldn't really find anything. There seems to be plenty of support for miscarriages, and also for losses after 20 weeks. So I guess I just wanted see if I have missed them, or would like to start one so people can share their experiences. ]]> Tue, 06 Dec 2011 13:04:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41138&PID=1414112&title=termination-for-medical-reasons#1414112
