They Said Her Baby Was 'Incompatible With Life,' She Showed Them What It Means to be an 'Awesome Mom'"When a woman receives bad news about her pregnancy, she has just received a new mission and purpose. This woman must now become the one who stands up and protects her baby's life, no matter how long or short it is. Choosing life will empower her to become the awesome mother she was created to be for her baby, no matter what conditions her baby has..." -Deb Melson (Bucks County, PA)—[LifeSiteNews] Is there any real difference between a mother who terminates her pregnancy because the baby has practically no chance of survival and a mother who decides to keep such a pregnancy but whose baby dies just before he's born? Since in both situations the baby dies before birth, is there any difference? (Photo via LifeSiteNews.com) For Deb Melson, the answer is a solid "Yes." Even though her baby died in the womb, she's so glad she refused the doctor's suggestion to terminate. "I would not change a single thing about my journey, as it was so beautiful," she told LifeSiteNews in an exclusive interview.

"Here, I was thinking I was having stomach issues when I was actually pregnant. I just cried the whole appointment, because I wasn't expecting that," she added. An ultrasound revealed that Deb was about 17 weeks pregnant. While she was glad to see her "little one" on the machine's screen, the sonographer did not appear to share her joy. "The sonographer was taking a long time to get all of the baby's measurements. I was then asked to stay for an appointment in the afternoon so that the doctors could talk to me," she said. (Photo via LifeSiteNews.com) The news wasn't good. Deb was told her baby had "complications." His stomach was too small. He had heart defects. He had fluid in his brain. Doctors suspected the baby had Trisomy 18, a condition where there are three copies of chromosome 18 instead of the normal two. Deb learned that her baby was considered to be "incompatible with life." She was told he would not live long, if he even managed to survive... Continue reading here.
