It is just that when I started to really be critical of her decision I thought of what reaction we would have received had we delivered another preemie. I'm sure that had her last IVF treatment resulted in 1,2, or even 3 babies no one would have even known about her. We all take chances in life (certainly, some more risky or ill advised than others). Again, not saying I agree w/ the decision...just made me think. I totally agree that actually implanting all of the fertilized eggs was not a good idea.
