Jenny was pregnant with her first child and she was thrilled. All she had ever wanted was a baby to call her own.
She spent night and day thinking about how her life would be once the baby was born. Her husband was just as excited as she was. They couldn't wait to start this new chapter in their lives together.
Months went by and Jenny's due date was getting closer. She had been planning and getting everything ready since she found out she was pregnant. The moment she'd been waiting for was almost here.
The day came. Her water broke and she was going into labor. She was so excited. Her husband rushed her to the hospital as fast as he could.
She was put into a room right away. The baby wasn't quite ready so she was in labor for several hours. She was in a lot of pain, so she decided to get the epidural shot. It didn't help and the pain continued. She started to get nervous.
Jenny was taken to an examination room. The doctor checked her out and didn't have good news. He put his hand on her arm and said gently,"You or the baby will survive. Not both. I'm sorry." Jenny broke down in tears with a look of disbelief. She couldn't believe this was happening.
It didn't take her much time at all to make her decision. She had always wanted a baby and wasn't going to let it go. She chose to save the baby instead of herself. She knew the baby would have a good life with her husband.
