Do you know, it's something that I have struggled with.

I struggled with for a long time because I wanted...

my boys to be here.

And I didn't, even actually at their birth at 24 weeks, we were asked, would you like us to resuscitate your babies?

Because at this early gestation, we don't have to.

We can, you know, you might choose.

It might be fairer to let them go.

And I remember asking the doctors about disabilities and saying,

I, you know, please do everything you can to save my babies.

Whatever disabilities they end up having, we will deal with.

We will give these boys a great life.

We'll care for them.

We don't...

you know, if there are disabilities as a result of their prematurity, well, that's just, you know, that's just, we'll deal with that.

That's fine.

That's okay.

But at this stage, the doctors were saying this is beyond that.

This is severe.

with a higher order of multiple births, which is anything three or over, that you reduce.

But to us, and I've never regretted our decision not to, that was just not a possibility for us.
