With the ongoing political & religious debate on abortion, a mother of a genetic disorder opens up about her experience of TFMR and the impact this has had on her. Bec shares information about her genetic disorder and how that changed what her family would look like, having a 'missed miscarriage' D&C and a 'chemical miscarriage' after the birth of her healthy daughter. Bec opens up about finding out her baby had a chromosomal condition (BFLS) and the decision to terminate and the hoops she had to jump through to have that happen. Bec describes TFMR as a “no choice choice” and the taboo of baby loss and her story is worth considering in conversations around abortion.
