My "work" mate is 16 weeks pregnant, they found a pocket of fluid in the babies tummy, they did more testing and found that the baby has downs in a bad way and will probably not survive the pregnancy or birth, she and her DH have decided to have an abortion, I'm so sad, there are three of us who are pregnant, I only don't really work much anymore due to study but I drop in every couple of weeks to hang out (its not a conventional work, more of a hobby) I'm just so sad for her, she fell pregnant quickly and was so happy

Sorry, I just had to get it of my chest

My 1st pregnancy I had my ex husbands friends GF have a still born at full term the funeral was so heart breaking, I'm just a bit emotional today I think, its just so sad

Actually, I don't think a Down syndrome diagnosis is a Mum-to-be's worst nightmare. I imagine there are things far worse.

Very difficult time for your friend OP. I feel for her, and hope that she's confident that she's making an informed choice.

I think the PP probably means being told your precious baby is unlikely to survive pregnancy let alone birth is a mothers worst nightmare - not the Downs diagnosis.
I am so sorry your friend is having to go throught this.

I took the worst nightmare part to be that the baby was unlikely to survive and being placed in the position of having to face that.

I can see why it might sound offensive but I think you might have misunderstood what the PP was referring to bees-knees.

That's very sad news for your friend OP.

I think the previous poster was talking about the fact the baby won't survive pregnancy/birth...

Sorry to hear about your friend Op, hope they are doing the best they can.
