But then they also detected fluid in his lungs. &#8220;I was told my baby was dying and would not survive to term,&#8221; she wrote for The Mighty. &#8220;I was given three options: to let him die in the womb and deliver him stillborn, to have him delivered immediately with no likelihood of survival, or to prolong the pregnancy as much as possible by presenting at the hospital three times a week (from memory) for a few hours each visit, for steroid injections and monitoring of the baby\u2019s heartbeat. I chose the third option.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Noah was born in May of 2012 at just 34 weeks gestation, with duodenal atresia, and AVSD, and hydrops fetalis. Yet doctors wanted to take little-to-no action to save him. &#8220;He spent his first seven months in hospital having a series of life-saving surgeries. I was called three times in the middle of the night to prepare for his death,&#8221; she told Kidspot. &#8220;I had a lot of pressure from doctors to terminate Noah\u2019s treatment.

Could I bear to see him suffering?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tang was told Noah would never be a productive member of society, that she would have to give up everything to care for him, and that he would be a burden on the government.
