The woman’s mother said her body must retain life support in Georgia’s abortion law in the United States, and the woman’s mother said the baby of a brain-dead woman in her head had been given a caesarean section.
Ms. Smith’s mother told Adriana Smith Local TV Station 11 is still alive.
The boy, who weighs 1 pound, 13 ounces (08 kg) was kept in the neonatal intensive care unit, said April Newkirk, the mother of Ms. Smith. “He expected it would be fine,” she told NBC News’ affiliate The Outlet. “He was just fighting. We just wanted to pray for him.”
Ms Newquake said her daughter, a 31-year-old nurse, will receive life support on Tuesday.
“It’s hard to deal with,” she said. “I’m her mother. I shouldn’t bury my daughter. My daughter should bury me.”
The BBC has contacted the hospital for comment. It had previously declined to comment on individual cases, but insisted that it prioritizes “the safety and well-being of the patients we serve.”
Her mother previously said Ms. Smith went to another hospital in February due to a severe headache and was given medication and sent home.
But the next day, Ms. Smith woke up and gasped. The mother said Emory University Hospital determined that there was a blood clot in her brain and declared her brain dead.
At that time, her baby’s expiration date was over three months. But her family said Emory’s doctors told them they could not get out of life support or remove devices that keep breathing because the state will find abortion after heart activity after six weeks of pregnancy.
Ms Newquake said at the time that her grandson might be blind and unable to walk or even survive due to her daughter’s health complications.
Ms. Newkilk told the same NBC branch in May.
Georgia’s Republican Governor Brian Kemp signed a near-complete abortion ban in the state in 2019. However, the law did not come into effect until the 2022 U.S. Supreme Court decision to overturn the Roe V Wade ruling, which guarantees women’s constitutional rights.
