Hello to everyone Well like most of the stories I have read on this site it came as a big shock to us both to recieve the news that our baby has alobar holoprosencehaly. I am approx 15 weeks pregnant and the doctors have told us there is no hope. They have said that the chance of carrying this baby full term are very slim and that if i do the baby will die very soon after. We have just recently been married (5 months ago) and this news was very unexpected. I think it is the unknown that scares us so much and the negativity of the medical profession. We both believe in a God that can do miracles and it is such a relief to read some stories and hear that the impossible is possible. We are both looking up and would love to hear from anyone who is experiencing or has experienced this.
