Pregnant at 18 and in an abusive relationship, Katie Whiddon thought having a baby would save her from her boyfriend’s abuse. Then a difficult diagnosis led her down a dark path towards abortion before helping her find peace and joy in her life.<\/p>\n

Initially, the pregnancy seemed to bring the couple closer together, but they soon became off and on again. Then, during the anatomy scan, which usually occurs around 20 weeks gestation, she received news that changed everything.\u00a0As the ultrasound tech moved the ultrasound wand, she got quiet and starting trying to get the baby to move. Then she left to get the doctor.<\/p>\n
