Book excerpt: Finding out during pregnancy that your much wanted baby has been diagnosed with an abnormality is a traumatic and devastating experience. Deciding to end the pregnancy is a choice no-one should have to make. Gathered here are the experiences of 25 mothers who have lost a baby in these circumstances. Their stories, which are dedicated to the babies they have lost, have been written to help and support anyone facing a similar decision. All profits from the sale of this book will be donated to Antenatal Results and Choices (ARC), a UK national charity that provides non-directive support and information to expectant and bereaved parents throughout and after the antenatal screening and testing process.
