Pregnant Woman With Terminally Ill Preborn Baby: ‘I Love Her So Much’
A young pregnant woman recently chose life for her preborn child with a fatal diagnosis, sharing how she still loved her child “more than she can even express.”
The young woman, appearing on the “I Like Birds” podcast, shared her heartbreaking experience.
“This might be crazy, because I know she’s not going to survive anyways, but I only have so much time left with her,” the brokenhearted young woman explains.
“Why should I cut it any shorter?” she asks. “She’s safe in my womb.”
“I had been following a million pro-life organizations on Instagram,” she adds. “I’ve seen what an abortion looks like. And I said, ‘I don’t think I could bear to have her ripped piece by piece out of my womb and shorten the life that’s already so short.’”
She continues,
[Why would I] take her away from a spot where God has placed her in my hands, in my womb, where she’s safe and she’s warm and she only knows love and doesn’t know pain?
Why would I give her such a painful death when she’s perfectly fine with me?
The young woman goes on to express how much she already loves her child.
I said, today is the first day that I felt her kick. I already love her more than, more than I can even express.
Not that I didn’t love her before, I loved her so much before, but feeling her kick is just… My baby was in there, and I couldn’t bear the thought of having her removed.
The one-minute-long video has over 3.6 million views on X.
The young woman’s heart wrenching and emotional story, while tragic, is simultaneously a beautiful testimony to the reality that life begins in the womb – at conception.
Please consider praying for this young woman, that she might experience God’s peace and comfort.
We also pray that she will see her baby again someday, when all is made right (Acts 3:21).
As we read in Revelation,
“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away” (Rev. 21:4, ESV).
