My Still born Baby Diagnoised with NF1

I miscarried in Oct 2007. My fiance and I know the risks of us having kids together. If i am able to carry the baby to full term, we know the risks of what could happen.

We are going to lose that child no matter what.

You need to ask yourselves this question. Could you really live with yourselves if you did terminate the pregnancy and the child had turned out without any complications due to NF.

Like i said before there is a 50/50 percent chance of how serious the child's case will be.

Mine is fairly mild. I only have a learning disability because of it.

I don't mean to seem like i am lecturing you or anything.

I am very sorry to hear of your dilema. Although I don;t have NF, my daughter does. I have thought alot about the decisions she will need to make, especially whether to terminate or not. Either way your decision is hard. The worst thing about this condition is the unknown !!!! as you know , no one can tell you how NF will be apart of your childs life. Unfortunately its one of those decisions you wish someone elso could make for you, What ever decision you make, you need to move on with life and believe that at that time in life and for YOUR right reasons you choose that path. So don;t have guilt with your decision , you didn't ask for NF to be a part of your life, you are only trying to live with it the best you can. GOOD LUCK, I shall be thinking of you.

i thought its not neceasrily deadly and most cases aren't deadly???

But only we know how stressfull was/is the past few months.... still when i write this am emotional and i ....

I Thank u all for the support...
