They Said Her Baby Was 'Incompatible With Life,' She Showed Them What It Means to be an 'Awesome Mom'

Pete Baklinski : Feb 15, 2017  LifeSiteNews.com

"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.

This is Deb's story:

It was last August when 42-year-old Deb became worried about feeling "icky" for so many days in a row. The mother of three had recently become busy in life. She was running cross-country with the ambulance squad. She was taking karate lessons. And she had just accepted an offer to work part time in the dental lab of a dear friend.

"Life was busy, but life was good," she said.

Deb told her doctor that she must be having more stomach problems due to her gluten intolerance. But after some tests, the doctor diagnosed something entirely different.

"It turns out that I was pregnant. And I didn't really know about it because I was just way too busy," she said.

"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...
