Diya Nair, a 32-year-old software engineer,...
Diya Nair, a 32-year-old software engineer, was 18 weeks pregnant with a much-wanted first child. A routine anatomy scan revealed anencephaly, a fatal neural tube defect where the baby's brain and skull do not fully develop. The news was devastating. Her obstetrician, Dr. Sharma, explained with great compassion that the condition was incompatible with life outside the womb. She recommended a mid-trimester abortion using medication (mifepristone and misoprostol) to avoid the surgical risks of D&C at this stage. The treatment took place over two days in the hospital's dedicated care unit. The physical process was intense and emotionally harrowing, but the nursing staff provided constant support and pain management. Physically, Diya recovered well within two weeks. Emotionally, she and her husband were engulfed in profound grief. Before the procedure, she felt a crushing sense of loss and failure. Afterwards, while the sadness remained, she began to feel a sense of peace having spared her child suffering, and she focused on healing with the support of a perinatal loss counselor.
