A woman suffering severe bleeding in the third trimester was told to have an abortion by her doctors; she refused, and now both she and her daughter are healthy.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Kidspot<\/a>, Rachel explained that she was diagnosed with subchorionic hemorrhaging after she began bleeding while in her third trimester. A subchorionic hemorrhage occurs when the placenta detaches from the uterine wall. Rachel was admitted to the hospital three separate times because her bleeding was so severe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bleeding was so bad, there were times where I was properly hemorrhaging,\u201d she said. \u201cThey thought I\u2019d eventually have a devastating miscarriage that could kill me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Doctors told her to have an abortion, but she wanted her baby despite the risk to herself. \u201cWe really wanted her, so I took a chance,\u201d she said. \u201cMy pregnancy progressed well, the baby looked normal in my scans and she was moving around, even though my whole uterus was filled with blood.”<\/p>\n

The third trimester of pregnancy begins at 27 weeks, far past what is generally accepted to be the age of\u00a0“viability<\/a>.” Given that, it seems odd that doctors would have encouraged her to have an abortion, instead of suggesting a premature induction or C-section which would have given the baby a strong chance of survival. An early delivery in which a baby is too premature to survive is not an induced abortion. Induced abortion intentionally kills a child to end a pregnancy; this is not medically necessary<\/a>. The intention should always be to save both mother and baby, not to deliberately kill one.<\/p>\n

Eventually, the bleeding slowed, and Rachel and her husband thought this meant the worst was behind them. Then her water broke at 29 weeks, which doctors said was due to the bleeding.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey checked the baby on the monitors and she wasn\u2019t doing well \u2014 her heart rate was really slow so my obstetrician delivered her straight away,” Rachel said. \u201cIt was a frightening experience \u2014 I knew she would be small and it would be a tough journey ahead. Vivienne gave one little squeak when she was born, then the neonatologist brought her over to us. She looked like a tiny little alien.”<\/p>\n

After 10 weeks in the NICU, Vivienne was allowed to go home with a gastric tube to help with feeding, and by one year old, she was weaned off the tube. But despite everything, Vivienne is happy and healthy today, with no developmental delays.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is confident, and friendly, and also very determined,\u201d Rachel said. \u201cAll of those aspects of her personality are what got her through her prematurity.\u201d She’s also very close to her two older siblings, and her family has never regretted fighting for her chance at life.\u00a0\u201cWe feel so lucky to have her in our lives she is such a special part of our family.\u201d<\/p>\n
