It was not down syndrome I will add and yes, you can determine down syndrome prior to 20 weeks. Anyway, they made the decision to terminate the pregnancy and I know how hard it was for them. since then, they have had a wonderful, healthy, very busy little girl.

It's called encephalocele. Like anencephaly and spina bifida, it's a type of neural tube defect. Nmnita, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure it was a terribly difficult time for your entire family.

There are 3 choices when a woman is faced with an unplanned pregnancy; keeping the child, adoption, or abortion. A responsible woman makes the best choice depending on her circumstances.
