That is a beautiful story. I know if it were me, my husband would refuse to allow me to carry a child knowing that it would end my life. We aren't having kids, but he's told me from the beginning, he would choose me over our child if the choice had to be made.
I know her situation is vastly different, and I think its amazingly awesome that her brother and his family are taking the baby in. I am in disbelief that the baby survived, but now you know her mother's soul lives on in her daughters heart :)
@MrsSl82be: I know, my husband would choose me over the baby, too. (Albeit the most difficult decision to make I'm sure!!!) Since she wasn't married and the baby's father wasn't in the picture, it is quite a different scenario. So sad, but I'm so happy her brother and his wife took the baby and will raise her with lots of love.
Oh, wow, I barely made it through half before I had to stop reading b/c I'm at work and am crying like an idiot!
I just read that and came here to see if anyone posted it!
DH and I have had this discussion and he's always said he would choose me over our child. This case really makes me think though - because she wanted that baby so badly is one thing, but I wonder if she wasn't really given a good prognosis even with chemo? In that case I think more people would choose to try and go to term. If your survival chances are quite low, I'd feel like you might as well try to give the baby a fighting chance.
So heartbreaking though, but that little girl has a guardian angel for sure.
Yeah my husband and I have talked about this and he always says he would want me to survive over the baby, because we could always try for another baby but he cant just go get another me. But possibly like pp said, she chances werent that high even with the chemo and thats why she decided to make that choice.
Having said that my OB told me of a lady who was over 40, she went through chemo not knowing she was pregnant and when she went for a follow up cat scan they realised there was a baby in there! and the baby had survived the chemo and was born strong and healthy. Imagine that!
Okay, whoever is chopping all these onions in here needs to stop it right now.
Goodness. Props also to the hospital staff who probably bent a few rules to bring the baby to her mother. So sad. And I know this is kind of a weird reaction but I'd feel so much pressure to raise that baby perfectly if I were the brother/uncle.
amazing....i have a child already, if i were in this situation i would do the same thing. I have lived an amazing life and would sacrifice mine for my childs....no questions asked.

Wow, this is such a moving story. It brought tears to my eyes. It is good to know that the baby is loved and will be cared for as her mom would have wanted. Wow...break out the tissues!
