This blog charts our story in trying to have a family. It describes the soul-destroying, mind-bending, insanity-producing experience of being told that your baby has serious abnormalities, and to decide that you believe it to be kinder, for the baby, not to continue with the pregnancy. And to be faced with this situation twice. This is not a blog which is pro-TFMR or anti-CTT (carrying to term). This is purely the story of what has happened to my husband and I and how we came to our decisions.

Back to work after 7 months
So, I took the plunge, and now I'm back at work. No phased return, full-time straight away. It's probably a bit unwise, but i'd got to the stage where being at home was doing me more harm than good. In all, it's been a grand total of seven months away. I was lucky, as I was entitled to 10 'keeping in touch' days where I could go into the office without affecting my leave, and it helped build up my confidence, which had largely vanished. And another good thing about being back to work - I'm still very depressed, but that's fine at my workplace at least - come across as happy and they'll think something is wrong with you!
