...five months into the pregnancy, the couple discovered that their much-wanted baby was not growing properly. Doctors advised Lorraine to have an abortion.
The parents were devastated, but rejected the option of an abortion and decided to continue with the pregnancy despite predictions that the baby would not survive beyond birth.
Describing the moment after she gave birth, Lorraine said, “I literally just cried and cried. I could not believe that something so small could survive. She was so tiny but she was so active. Her hands were going, she was her own little person and I cried for a long time. She was surviving - that was my main concern.”
Very cool...
But I thought it was just a blob of cells...
Goes to show how determined these little ones are at wanting to live! God Bless that little girl!
