And sometimes, the baby has to come out long before the age of viability. In the case of ectopic pregnancies, it is a medical emergency that appears in the first trimester. There is no luxury of inducing labor/performing a c-section and hoping that the baby can survive outside the womb. No hope at all.
I am in 100% agreement with you on this. It was a matter of the child dies or BOTH die. Never a happy decision but one that sometimes has to be made. I do know that this is also a rare case, but sadly, the ONLY thing that can be done. I hope you were allowed to grieve for your child and take comfort in knowing that he/she is with the Lord and will one day greet you there.
