    This baby girl was given more love in those 10 hours and 32 seconds than some children recieve in a lifetime, her parents made every moment of her life special and filled with love. I felt sad at the beginning of the video when they were given the information of her condition but by the end of the video I was smiling and happy for this baby because she was blessed with a life full of love, every single moment of her life was love💞

    I simply cannot fathom the people who gave this video a thumbs down. It is one of the most uplifting dedications to life that I’ve seen. We are not loved because we are perfect little renditions of humans. We are loved from and by the heart and it does not see imperfection. It feels this tiny voice and these soulful spirited interactions before Grace became too tired to continue. She was escorted by people who love her still, to the place she now lives with her father above and these things cannot be forgotten. She lived a big life because her parents said “I can withstand anything for her and I will carry her as long as she is able” and for the people who cannot commit to that, it’s ok. These choices are hard and cannot be undertaken by every expecting parent. The choices made by others do not mean they did not love their child as much as Grace was loved. They loved their sweet babies every bit as much but each story is perfect and personal and right. Thank you for sharing and I feel I’ve been made a better person for Grace.

      People gave this video a thumbs down because those sad people cannot fathom the idea of an imperfect baby being born. Hence the continued push to abort babies with Down syndrome and many other health issues. Sick people who would rather murder an innocent child than sacrifice anything themselves.

    Beautiful.. My first baby was diagnosed with an encephalocele at 4 months. I too chose to carry her as long as the Lord would allow. I gave birth to her little 12 ounce body at 27 weeks. She was stillborn, but I got to hold her for hours. Her birth changed my life - I take nothing for granted and I realize that tomorrow is never promised. Macy Maree March 12, 1997.

    • @snakebitepellehue
      @snakebitepellehue 5 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      @Sue Burgess I can. Anencephaly happens when the top portion of the skull does not form properly, leaving the brain tissue only covered by a thin membrane and exposed to the amniotic fluid. Sometimes the only functioning part is the brain stem, which allows reflexes like breathing, suckling and responding to certain stimuli, but it doesn't cause any pain because the brain isn't developed enough for that. Life expectancy after birth can vary from minutes to weeks and sometimes a year or more.

    I had a medical abortion at 16 weeks with my little girl due to anencephaly. This was in 1992. I have always regretted not being strong enough to have carried her to full term even knowing she would surely die, so that I could have at least donated her organs to save other babies. This video brought back so many buried emotions. You never forgot your children... I think about her all time.. even 30 yrs and 4 girls later....

    Your story is sad and beautiful. I had a full term still born baby boy. He was perfect. The autopsy showed that nothing was wrong with him. This was in 1979 and they didn’t show us our babies if they were still born. I wasn’t even allowed to go to the funeral. I missed him so much and had an anger that welled up in me because they took him from me. I am a Christian and the Lord has soothed my heart. I will see and hold my sweet Brady boy in Heaven, as you will your precious Grace. What a day of rejoicing that will be!

It makes me so angry and infuriated to hear this kind of thing, but it makes me even sadder for the mothers, like you . You must have gone through hell with your grief. If only doctors knew why it happens, stillbirth. Then it could be avoided. And It might at least give you some tiny amount of understanding about why it happened to you. Praying for you 💖

      Cindy, when I was in my senior year of nursing school, we had a research class. My research was about finding the most helpful behavior/words from nurses & medical staff for a mom who lost a child while pregnant, experienced stillbirth or SIDS/other cause up to 6 weeks postpartum. That was in 1979-80. Letting mom hold her baby was a good thing. I’m glad obstetrics has advanced since then. I’m so very sorry for your loss & happy that you KNOW you will be with your baby again. May God continue to bless you with peace❤️

He live just a short time and Bill donated his organs to help other babies. Billie was cremated and it just tears my heart out each time I see the urn sitting on the mantel in the living room. Billie has a tree planted outside the living room window , in rememberance of his son. I am sorry you lost your son . Words cannot express my sorrow.

      Moogie B, this was 1979. I went to the hospital 2 weeks later and told them how wrong that was. We asked to see our baby. Now, it just makes me angry that they treated our loss this way. Something good came of this, though. A friend of mine had a stillborn baby a month later. The first thing that was said to her was, “ Do you want to see your baby?” I went to see her a month later. She had a baby book completed with pictures of all the relatives holding her baby, gathered around her and her husband as they held their son, and pictures of him a n several different outfits. They invested every second they could into their child, who they would never again see while on this earth. They were smiling through their tears. They were so proud of their boy! I am glad that the rules were changed and mamas and dads had an option.

    My first born my son Isaiah Charles young was born with anencephaly. I was only 16 years old when I had my baby boy. He would had been 14 years old 09/08/2004 I was so d de depressed and young so I had been induced Isaiah lived for 30 minutes. He did wine he was moving I thought this was a miracle because the doctors said he will not live after birth. it never gets easier especially with the holidays and his birthday. My heart goes out to you sorry for your loss. Every time to time I don't know why I do this to my self but I watch videos like yours and it brings so much memories and I start to cry. So thank you for sharing your story.

I have absolutely 0 issue with someone keeping their child regardless if they were raped if that is THEIR choice. I dont condone however forcing a woman to carry the product of a rape if she doesnt want to and be traumatised because of it. See the difference? Prochoice is NOT proabortion but rather the choice for every person to decide what is best for themselves and their body!

      Star, even if that were right, the 'obvious' is not always the right thing to state, even if, as so many aggressively assert, you're 'entitled' and 'have the right' to do so. She was perfect by her parents' subjective perception/standards, if not by biology's or society's. And no need to be hostile by using the term 'fucking idiot'. There's nothing in this video meriting such bluntness or such an aggressive written impression. If Star Anna is this baby's mother, would you say that to her face, in that way, if you met her in person? No - you would be taken to task for it by whoever was also there, and everyone would just walk away - so don't say it online, either. People are real online as well.

    I also had a baby with anencephaly. 4/1/85. I had a c-section, my husband, our families were in the waiting room. A man walked by carrying a picnic type basket. Families were unaware the baby was in there. We were not given the opportunity to ever see him. We attended the same church as the delivery / surgical nurses. They baptized him in the 5 minutes that he lived.
