They've already named the baby....and she has made no mention if she plans to terminate or not. I honestly don't think that she will but could never hold it against her if she did. She's very far along now, so I doubt it's much of an option.

Quoting meta:

if she aborts, she cant and wont have closure. she will have regret. giving birth to a stilborn is horrid, but the parents can still hold that baby and say goodbye, for myself, i would have that baby, i would give him/her a name,

ive been working in a md office for 20 years, i have seen lot. i still remember my 1st pt who had a stillborn. i went home and cried. you as her friend encourage her to talk about it, sometimes family memebers and friends can be cruel. my prayers are with her nd her baby

The group of us that are supporting her are letting her come to us when she is ready to share information. We have asked a few questions, but are not pushing her. She has shared some ultrasound photos with us, just so we could ooh and ahh over baby. She has only told a select few about the baby's condition....I cannot imagine how some people would react or what they would say to her.

I just want to say....thank you for putting my post up on Facebook. Any prayers whatsoever that can be said for my sweet friend is so appreciated. Muchas Gracias Mamas Latinas!

Mi opinion en el caso del bebe enfermo, yo selo entregaria a Dios y que fuera su voluntad. Me imagino el dolor de esta madre teniendo que decidir una cosa o la otra. Mis oraciones son para ella y dejarle a Dios la su decision. Dios sabe mas lo que combiene y por todo lo que se pasa en esta vida El nos da conformidad.

Hopefully she will let God make her decision. The worst part is the guilt she will feel. And as a mom who has gone through the loss of her son, I know she will need a a very strong support group whether it is her family, friends or women who also have had a loss because sometimes if you haven't gone through it you just don't get it. A maternity photoshoot is a beautiful idea. I would also contact Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. They do beautiful work. If and when it happens, and I pray she doesn't have to go through this, I would love to send her a package to help her.
