twins dumped

ah well people time to reign in your horses

all is not what it seems thanks to the daily mail *where the story first appeared*

A West Midlands couple who allegedly dumped their twin baby girls after travelling to India for IVF treatment are visiting them in hospital, an NHS spokesman insisted today.

The parents are “attentive to their needs” despite a report that the girls were left at New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton after their birth by Caesarean section because of their sex, NHS West Midlands said. A spokesman said: “Shortly after birth, the babies were transferred to a unit in Birmingham closer to where their parents live.

“The parents are visiting their daughters while they are being cared for in hospital and are attentive to their needs.

“For patient confidentiality reasons, the identity of the family and the babies are not being disclosed. The identity of the hospital is not being disclosed.

“We are not aware of a referral to social services.”

Birmingham City Council also said today there had been no referral to social services.

They should be thanking their lucky stars they had two healthy children.
Some people are not lucky enough to have one and many people cannot afford IVF so to me this beggars belief and they should not be allowed to try again in the hope they have a boy.
What if it was a girl again?
 
Nevermind, soon we will be able to genetically engineer our own choice of baby and we wont have to dump them. I want boys too. I wonder if I should wait for science to advance, or just dump the girls.

You find out the sex of a baby at 20 weeks dont you? Maybe I could just abort the girls, that'd be quicker than going full term.




This is meant in humour. I realise I am not funny but I might as well post anyway, gives me something to do.
 
ah the daily mail, why does this not suprise me:rolleyes: p.s. i buy it on sats only cos its the best telly book.:D

Thats strange, everyone I know seems to find out the sex at the 20wk scan, which included my younger brother and sister. Unless of course it isn't entirely clear, for instances like the umbilical cord being between the legs on the scan and such.
 
nope not everyone - they may have been witheld

sometimes on the day itself the position of the babies makes it hard to tell too

its to stop abortions based soley on the sex of the child

Well I've never come across that before :confused: maybe the hospital just discriminate against those who they think might do it, but I've never known a hospital to not reveal that information, and I've got 3 friends pregnant at the mo, 2 of which found out the sex of their babies at the scan and one who has been told she will find out at hers which is in a few weeks.
 
I know of a hospital down south where they won't tell the mothers the sex of the baby because of the fear of aborting a girl.

So, do we now have a variation on the original story? The babies are still in hospital but the Mum has been discharged. Nothing unusual in that. I still think they are pushing it though if they want to have another go with IVF to try for a boy. They could end up with more girls. As the Dad is getting on a bit and the Mum no spring chicken who is going to look after these children as they grow up?
 
So does the mother want the babies?
Or does she still not want them cos they are girls?
Is she just "tending to their needs" in the crucial first few weeks?
Then flying back to India to get treatment in hope of boys?
 
none of the parents are goin back to get more ivf

it was sensationalist tabloid journalism that the mail love to publish to dupe naive readers into thinking this is what the asian folks did.

i guess they know the hospital wont release their names and there's a chance the asian couple wont come out publicly for whatever reason so they think yeah we can publish tripe like this and ppl will go for it.

LOL, I laughed out loud at this. Two of them got pregnant willingly and are in stable relationships, both paying for their own homes, 1 renting, 1 has a mortgage , the other, well she made a mistake but so what.
 
Maybe they did ask how soon she would be fit enough to try IVF again. Maybe she does want to try again. None of us know her so how do we know.
