“I have no regrets. When I look at it, I know I made the right decision. He deserves to live, it would have been a big mistake to terminate my pregnancy“.
Léa Aïdi, 25, mother of Sandro, 2, was faced with this choice. When, almost eight months pregnant, during the third ultrasound with the private midwife who follows her, the latter finds that the measurements of the baby’s head are small, while remaining reassuring, the young woman does not expect not to such a tidal wave in his life: “She told me that maybe it was my abs that were compressing his skull, since he was still in a breech position. But the protocol being to send me to the North hospital for a check-up, she applied it“.
The day before the ultrasound, a bad feeling assails the mother-to-be. The examination will confirm this intuition. “The ultrasound lasted 2h30, in silence. The doctor saw microcephaly (abnormally weak growth of the skull and brain), a cerebro-placental inversion which caused poor oxygenation of the brain, and she noticed the cessation of growth since the fifth month“. A huge shock for Léa: “The midwife who followed me to Salon hadn’t seen any of this. The sonographer immediately thought of cytomegalovirus“, laments the mother-to-be.
But instantly, she knew that she refused the medical termination of pregnancy mentioned with more or less tact by the medical team at the North hospital: “I also rejected the amnyocentesis they offered me. I had little amniotic fluid so I didn’t want them to break my water by mistake.“.

**Interview with Dr. Emily Carter: Expert on Climate Change and Renewable Energy**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Carter. With the upcoming global climate summit in mind, could you share your thoughts on the current trends in renewable energy?
**Dr. Carter:** Absolutely, it’s a pleasure to be here. As we approach 2024, we’re witnessing unprecedented investment in renewable energy technologies. Solar and wind, in particular, are leading the way, with many countries setting ambitious targets for transitioning away from fossil fuels.
**Interviewer:** What do you think are the major challenges we face as we move towards a more sustainable future?
**Dr. Carter:** One of the biggest challenges is energy storage. While we harness a lot of renewable energy during peak times, we currently lack sufficient storage solutions to utilize that energy when demand is high, especially during calm days for wind or cloudy days for solar. Additionally, there are economic and political barriers that need to be addressed.
**Interviewer:** As we look forward to the initiatives proposed during the summit, are there any specific measures you believe would be most beneficial?
**Dr. Carter:** Yes, I believe that strengthening international cooperation on technology sharing and financing is crucial. Additionally, we need to support developing nations in building infrastructure for renewable energy, as this can lead to a more equitable energy transition globally.
**Interviewer:** How can individuals contribute to this movement towards renewable energy?
**Dr. Carter:** Individuals can make a significant impact by reducing energy consumption, supporting local renewable energy projects, and advocating for policies that promote sustainable practices. Every small step counts towards a larger movement.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Carter, for your insights. It’s clear that while there are challenges ahead, there are also many opportunities for change.
**Dr. Carter:** Thank you for having me. It’s essential we stay informed and engaged as we tackle these critical issues together.
