http://news.sky.com/home/world-news/article/16091543 what a brave selfless woman!

I saw that earlier in week. Tbh it made me feel like a bit of a crap mum. It made me think what I would have done if something like that had happened to me this time. I kinda think id prob have had an abortion & took treatment as the idea of leaving Caitlin terrifies/upsets me too much

Does that make it sound like I dont care about the baby? Even when pg with Caitlin I duno if I would have done what that lady did. I didnt really feel connected to Caitlin in early pg and I really dont know if I could have died for her I would do it now, dont get me wrong, its just hard to have that bond/love/drive in early pg.

God I sound like a biatch!

I think if we knew the story behind her life it might be understandable more?
It says that she was told she wouldn't be able to conceive so the possibility is that she tried in Vein for years and years for a very much wanted baby?

Because you haven't been through that it wouldn't be a decision you'd have to have made?

I don't think you sound like a biatch! I'm not sure what I would do in those circumstances either!

tbh - and this might upset people... but in all honesty I would probablyhave to terminate the pregnancy and have the treatment... if I was bought up knowing that my mum chose me over her i.e. chose to die so I could live I'm not sure I'd cope all that well and I dunno I guess that as a child all you really want is your mum. that baby might grow up feeling immense guilt

I dunno though I hope Im never in that situation although like Snoopy said I dont' think I could choose an unborn baby over being a mum for Tyler and the thought of me not being there for him is gunna make me cry at my desk so I'll shut up lol.

I have massively mixed feelings about this, in all honesty like Jade and Snoops I honestly think I would terminate the pregnancy, the thought of Libby growing up without me is well too much to bare really.

I understand she may of been ttc for years and to finally have that BFP and then discover she was ill must of been the most awful thing to go through but she will never get to see that tiny baby she was so longing for - to see her grow and be there for her (if that makes sense without sounding like a biatch). At least with treatment she had a chance of pulling through and maybe going on to have that much longed for baby that she would see grow up and nurture.

But at the same time she has bought a beautiful baby into the world who wouldnt be here if she thought like me ^^

There's no mention of the father though as she's being brought up by her uncle

I'm not sure what I would do either. I think if it happened now then I would have the treatment because Jamie's here and needs a Mum. I also agree with Jade that I'm not sure I'd want to grow up knowing that my Mum died for me.

Regardless of what we would do she did a very selfless thing there, we don't k ow if the cemo would have just prolonged life or actually cured her, I don't think we can really understand the decision she made because we do have Children already so the decision for us would defiantly be different.
I doubt she went about it without a lot of thinking

I can totally understand where she was coming form because there was a very real possibility that I could have died having Ollie and Amelia. Obviously I didnt know there was anything wrong with me having Ollie but I was literally minutes away from death having him. It got to the point where my family were called in to say goodbye to me and my mother was told they couldnt tell which way it was going to go. My organs went into failure I lost 6 pints of blood and went into DIC which is where your blood stops clotting completely and it was coming out as fast as it was going in.

Knowing all of this I still went on to have Amelia. Knowing full well it could happen again. Which it did. Its a miracel we both survived and only due to the grace of God that we were so close to hospital, I would have bled to death before getting there if we'd been at home.

Its for this reason though that I wont have any more children. I will not leave Amelia motherless just so I might be able to have another baby. SO yes your perspective does change after having a baby because you have to be there for them. At the time when I got pg with Amelia though it was a risk i was willing to take to be a mother x

even when I was pg with Tyler I don't think Id have wanted him to grow up without me. And while this does seem selfless Im not sure... I know she sacrificed herself for a baby but then what life will that baby have is what Im trying to say, I don't doubt the care the baby will get but that's not the same as having her mum and maybe actually for the mum it was easier to choose to not have her clearly very much wanted baby terminated and so is she actually selfish in bringing a baby into this world without a mum?

I don't think it was a decision taken likely and I don't really think there is a wrong or right answer, no one wants to choose to have their baby terminated, maybe she thought once she'd had the baby she'd be well enough for treatment but sadly it didn't turn out that way - guess we'll never know.

I do feel a bit sorry for the baby though

i'm not even going to 'guess' what i would do in that situation, but i agree with Kell, to give up your own life for that of your child(whether in the womb or already born) is the most selfless act, and i hope rather than feeling guilt, that little girl grows up to feel proud and comforted by the fact that her mum loved her that much
