A woman whose child survived an abortion attempt has now welcomed her baby into her life.
Twenty five year-old Jodie Percival’s first son had died of a life-threatening kidney condition. Last year, she became pregnant while on the birth-control pill and she and her fiancé Billy Crampton, 35, decided to abort the child, the Daily Mail says.
“Deciding to terminate at eight weeks was just utterly horrible but I couldn't cope with the anguish of losing another baby,” said Percival, a hairdresser.
Weeks after the attempted abortion, Percival felt a quivering in her stomach. Doctors discovered she was 19 weeks pregnant, the child having survived the abortion.
