December 23, 2015, should have been a day of joy for Johanna Morton and her husband Craig. It was two days before Christmas, and they were supposed to be getting a glance at their preborn baby. Instead, they received devastating news.<\/p>\n

“I was 12 weeks gestation when we were told something was wrong with my baby’s heart,” Morton wrote in a Facebook post for Love What Matters<\/a>. “I was told she will not survive. ‘You will miscarry.’ I left the office in tears and heart broken. My baby fought her way to 18 weeks as her heart beat slower and slower. With each new appointment seemed to come another diagnosis, another heartbreak and a waterfall of tears.”<\/p>\n

None of the doctors Morton saw had ever seen a heart with all of the problems that her baby’s had. They constantly\u00a0told her she was going to miscarry or deliver a stillborn baby. They told her to “save yourself the pain” and abort.<\/p>\n

“I never gave ending the pregnancy a second thought, no matter how many times we were offered,” Morton told Babble<\/a>.<\/p>\n
