Pregnant woman says doctors told her that her baby was not coping properly and that her conditions were incompatible with life. Now, the pregnant mother claims she is being forced to feel her unborn daughter suffer every day, after her termination was canceled. The young mom, who already has one daughter, said that she was nervous when she discovered that she was expecting another child. Unfortunately, she visited the doctor at 21 weeks who reportedly her doctor told her that something was wrong and sent her to a specialist. The specialist reportedly told the 21-year-old woman that her unborn daughter was not going to survive. “They found out there that my baby was not coping properly and that her conditions were incompatible with life. My baby is suffering inside of me, having seizures multiple times a day. I feel every single one. I knew I didn’t want her to suffer any longer.” she reportedly said.
The 21-year-old woman, Chloe, told the Today Show that she was told 23 weeks into her pregnancy that her baby was incompatible with life. So, she scheduled an induction. But, the day it was supposed to take place, Roe v. Wade was overturned. The doctor then told Chloe that he wasn’t allowed to remove the baby since it still has a heartbeat, which means she will now have to carry it until it either the baby dies inside of her or until she gives birth on her own. According to the woman, her unborn daughter was suffering multiple seizures a day in the womb and has no chance of survival when it is born.
Chloe also wrote on her social media account: ‘What kind of sick country do we live in where we force a mom to feel her baby suffer every single day until her baby dies?” During an interview with TODAY, the young mother, who already has one daughter, said that she was nervous when she discovered that she was expecting another child. Unfortunately, she visited the doctor at 21 weeks who reportedly her doctor told her that something was wrong and sent her to a specialist. The specialist reportedly told the 21-year-old woman that her unborn daughter was not going to survive.
Chloe reportedly said: “They found out there that my baby was not coping properly and that her conditions were incompatible with life. My OB-GYN basically gave me the options of going to get… an abortion, inducing in the hospital, or staying pregnant until the baby either passed away inside of me or I went full term. My baby is suffering inside of me, having seizures multiple times a day. I feel every single one. I knew I didn’t want her to suffer any longer.”
Chloe also said that she and her fiancé preferred that the baby pass away naturally. Chloe reportedly decided to induce labor rather than aborting the fetus, knowing that the baby would die after it was born. The young mom also wanted to spend some moments with her and be able to love on her. She told her doctor and he scheduled an induction for her. But, after it was announced that states were allowed to ban abortion again, Chloe was told he wouldn’t be able to go through with the procedure.
“My doctor called me today and told me I have to remain pregnant until this baby dies inside of me or dies when she’s born,” Chloe reportedly said. The 21-year-old mother from Arizona is now saving money to travel to another state so she can get an abortion. Chloe has launched an online fundraiser and raised more than $20,000. The young mother also said that she decided to share her story so that people can see other perspectives, calling her situation unfair, and adding that she feels completely lost and torn and confused.
Chloe also said: “I really can only describe it as feeling trapped. Not being able to choose what to do in regards to me and her, I just feel trapped and it’s not fair to me or for anybody that’s going through something like this. Moms, we ought to do the right things for our kids and I don’t think anybody wants their kids, their baby, to be suffering.”
