Default Sensitive issue... future death of baby.

I'm having a hard time finding my "place" here on SC again. Not TTC, pregnant with a baby who will likely die, but haven't lost him yet. Is there anyone who has continued a pregnancy knowing that they would not bring thier baby home?

My baby has Full Trisomy 13 and will likely die if he is even born alive. I am far enough along that I will go through labor no matter what. His "abnormalities" are extensive and I'm starting to get very nervous and scared of labor, birth, and death. This is our first baby and I have never given birth before, so that alone is scary and then to know that he will not live long, if he even makes it through labor, makes it very hard too.

I'm just needing a place to express my fears and concerns and grief over all of this. I'm sorry if this is not the place.

Our first baby, Nathan was born on June 24, 2008 and went to be with the Lord moments after. He had Trisomy 13, a chromosome abnormality, yet we believe he was made exactly as he was meant to be. To read more about our story, please visit my blog.
