"I am trying to approach this conversation with empathy and respect but we alll should make decisive efforts to end some certain medical conditions like “dwarfism”. It’s just like AS marrying AS, it’s so unfair birthing kids and allowing them face unexplained consequences because parents made their own decisions out of love."

esbeautyskincare said:

"There’s an abnormally scan and test for issues like this. You could have even done a test at 12 weeks to check for abnormalities of the foetus and decide to evacuate or not. But bringing that chikd into this world when we all the challenges she’s going to face is where I have an issue with. Nkubi has money they should have even done ivf and select an embryo free of abnormalities. Anyways it’s well sha 😔."

ajay_onazi said:

"Sometimes I feel so sorry for her daughter just because the world is cruel to people who are different but it’s not enough for a doctor to tell her that. It’s so unprofessional."

maureen_jeddy said:

"She would have taken the doctor advice."

fashioncare_closet.co said:

"Sometimes we refuse to tell our self the truth, you went on to do abnormality test, what's your aim of checking it ? Most women don't do it , and Doctor now tell you what he saw and give suggestion which he didn't force her."

ilobijane said:

"The doctor had no business suggesting that to you. This is what you and your husband should have talked about even before marriage. Dwarfism is a disadvantage in our society Nigeria. IVF should have been an option. You have used to love to born that child now and if she sues you both tomorrow now, would you blame her?"

everything_nurse_koko said:

"What do you mean , hello ?? The doctor is Right , it may sound rude , but he must have thought you’re not happy with the result hence why he is giving other options which maybe , some persons must have done before !! He is prolly a little concerned than you bout the child you were carrying . NA WHY E NOR GOOD TO GIVE SOME PERSONS ADVICE."
