Kimberley James and her husband Nick were first told to abort their baby at just 12 weeks gestation. And they continued to protect their child throughout the pregnancy, even though the pressure to abort didn’t stop.<\/p>\n

“We said no because it was absolutely not what we wanted to do,” she told The Scottish Sun<\/a>. “We asked them why and unfortunately they couldn’t give us an answer.\u00a0We thought if they don’t know what it is then we’ll say ‘no’, even if it was a really poor diagnosis.”<\/p>\n

According to 7 News<\/a>, an ultrasound at 12 weeks showed that the baby was swollen and she was diagnosed with hydrops fetalis, which has a survival rate of just 10 percent. In addition, doctors said the preborn baby girl had cystic hygroma which is a fluid-filled sac caused by a blockage in the lymphatic system. With such a diagnosis, the pressure was on from the medical team to abort.<\/p>\n
