If it was a dangerous pregnancy, then I would have to terminate. I sincerely hope I never have to make that decision because I feel like it would kill me to choose that.
I don't object to other women making that choice for themselves...but for me personally? I couldn't have an abortion unless it was absolutely necessary, and even then the guilt would be huge.
So by 'reducing' you mean to have an abortion for only one of the babies and let the other one continue to develope and be born? Seems a little morally questionable to me, but then again the same could be said for abortions in general.
It's a procedure that does take place in, as far as I recall, high number multiple pregnancies, or pregnancies where there is risk to mother and fetus by the high number or less healthy fetuses. The lesser amount allowed to reach term, the greater the survival of the other(s).
...I honestly think it'd be a harder choice to make than a straight out abortion :/
That's why I learned too; that it is a more difficult choice to make than a total abortion.
The parents, who have desperately wanted children for quite a while before becoming pregnant, must choose which foetuses to keep and which to terminate. It's extremely traumatic for them.
And like you mentioned, the pregnancy is extraordinarily taxing on the mother and many of the babies end up with severe mental and physical disabilities, which they would not have if they weren't sharing a womb with several other foetuses.
It's sad.
In all honesty, just thinking about being in that situation, or any situation where I would be pregnant but not able to keep my baby, makes me tear up.
Which is precisely why I don't like to judge women who do get abortions. I don't know what they went through to come to that choice...
I would think so too, but then again i'm a guy so my opinion on this matter is very little. Lol.
How would you get so many babies at one time? Is it natural or artificial. If its artificial and think that the doctor who added all the extra eggs should be held accountable shouldn't they? I do not believe in abortion unless necessary. If it means that killing one will save the mother yes.
It's hard to say...
If I was in that situation literally right now, I'd get rid of them...
If I was doing in vitro fertilization and got pregnant with several babies I'd keep as many as I could...
If I got pregnant naturally, wanted to continue with the pregnancy because I'm married, have the support of my husband, something, and happened to be pregnant with several babies, I would, again, keep as many as I could...
It depends on how many I can support and how many I can have in me and have it still be safe.
So, I guess the answer is, sometimes I would, sometimes I wouldn't.
Only if it were absolutely necessary. Otherwise, no. My husband wants children very much and he wants many children at that - as many as I am willing to give him. I know, it's my body my choice, but he's my husband, not just some random boyfriend or one night stand. I kind of have to care about his feelings. Some men wouldn't even stick around for one child, let alone four or five.
