I'm reading a book that has me thinking a little bit. I realize this is a tough question, but I'm just looking for honest opinions, not an argument. I'll give the poll a couple days (plus me some time to finish the book) then I'll elaborate.

It would depend on the severity of the defeat for me. If it's a condition that the baby could survive I would keep it and just go on with life as normal as possible. If it were a terminal defeat I wouldn't abort or induce early unless it's absolutely needed for my health/survival(say for example the baby dies inside me and is causing me extreme health concerns) I would carry the pregnancy until I went into labor and just prepare to say goodbye to my baby afterwards.
I also said it depends on the severity. If the baby was not going to live outside the womb I probably would keep going and let God decide. There are however conditions that can affect the mother too and in that case I would have to let the baby go. Reason being is that I have a baby here already who needs her Mommy.
Are you reading Handle With Care? I love that book. For me if it was something like that, I would abort. I couldn't handle seeing my kid in pain like that all the time. If it was downs or something like that, me and Rob agreed we would keep the baby.
Amy - you guessed it. I'm a huge Jodi Picoult fan. But I'll save my opinion until I finish it, because I'm only halfway through and I'm sure she has more twists coming. I will admit that I made the mistake of googling OI, and I wish I hadn't.
Oh she definitely has more twists coming. She said she had the end of the book planned before she even wrote it so just prepare yourself. I made sure not to ever look up OI. I don't think I could handle that :( Which is how I knew I couldn't ever handle having a child with OI.
Yeah...I should have known better than to google it. But I didn't. And I did. And I cried. A little bit profusely. In fact, I'm almost finished writing a paper on it for my early childhood class.
