Michelle Moloney rejects doctor’s orders to abort baby, miracle baby Michael turns one
A mother who refused to abort her baby despite doctors’ advice is celebrating her son’s first birthday this week. Michelle Moloney’s water broke at 18 weeks and she was told the baby could not survive and wanted to induce labor, essentially aborting the child.
Now at age one, Michael’s story is recounted and is a true testament to a miraculous birth. He was born at 26 weeks, weighed only one pound and twelve ounces with serious lung damage.
The Daily Mail reports Moloney said, “I felt my baby kick in the early hours. It was such a definite kick – the reassurance that every expectant mum longs for. Just a few hours later, my waters broke. I felt terrified. It was absolutely devastating. The baby was very scrunched up and very tiny. Doctors said they could either induce labour or let nature take its course in up to ten days. I could feel my baby move. There was no way I could go through with an induction.”
After refusing to induce labor, Moloney went home where she miraculously carried her son for several more weeks. At 24 weeks, she was admitted to the hospital where she stayed until Michael was born two weeks later.
Moloney said, “It was touch and go in the early days. He’s a miracle. I’m so thankful we have our little boy.”
