My sister in law was pregnant with a baby that the doctors told her at 6 months into her pregnancy would die within hours of her birth because of a birth defect. She decided to carry her to term. Her daughter was born, bathed, dressed, baptized, and died within 3 hours.
It is a deeply personal decision.
We still as a family talk occasionally about little M, the first of her generation to be born into my husband’s family.
Her body was donated to the hospital to be studied for that particular birth defect.
