Only if you think "suicidal depression" couldn't kill you when you have to endure it for 40+weeks (considering not all anti-depressants are safe during pregnancy and not all anti-depressants work for all people, there is a very good chance she would've been stuck with it through the whole ordeal). Speaking as someone who has felt suicidally depressed at a few different points in my life, it's not something ho-hum to brush off, it's not like a stomach flu or a normal bout of morning sickness - it is, literally, life and death. “because you haven’t provided any evidence that continuing your pregnancy would have killed you.”

You mentioned you had a bad stomach virus during your first pregnancy and went to the ER multiple times and are a carrier for Cystic Fibrosis. None of this is evidence that your second pregnancy would or is threatening your life. Angie,

When I say it was the best choice, I'm not comparing it to being a doting happy mommy of two kids. I'm comparing it to dying, and leaving my son who I adore in the foster care system. It must be awfully convenient to be able to forget those facts in your "reporting".
