​@@denniswakabayashi9000nope not really but ok you have evil in your heart if you think it's ok to tear apart babies limb by limb.

[@annloui8814]

Ava, I don't know if you will ever read this, but I needed to hear your story more than ever today. I'm coming up on the one year mark of losing my baby girl at 22 weeks pregnant...I have no words. It's the worst thing I've ever gone through in my whole life. I'm so sorry that we share similar stories. However difficult this is my hope remains in the Lord...day after day that has to be our constant reminder. I'm so sorry for your loss. Praying for you today. Who knows...maybe our babies are friends in heaven. 💗

[@ilikebirdspodcast]

Thank you for sharing your story with us Ann and we are so sorry you experienced a similar broken heart. 💔 So grateful to hear you trust in the Lord. I pray your baby girl and Sophie are smiling down on you mommas and are so proud of your strength, courage, and faith. God bless you. Thank you for watching and sharing

[@KimSeeger-x7l]

Your baby was lucky to have you as she was loved. God chose you to be her Mom for a reason and you'll see her again in heaven one day. Bless you.

[@charliemcgann]

Thank you for loving your baby

[@colleenmcdermitt2189]

I cried, the girl gets it. I pray she is blessed with more love and happiness and I know she will be!

Amen 🙏 thank you for watching and subscribing

You are a hero. This is authentic female empowerment. The will and desire to be strong, compassionate, and loving!

[@sarahw.mcelyea5655]

What an EXCEPTIONAL church family!!!

[@redmare1746]

Ava, you are such a wonderful and strong human. Your story of carrying and loving Sophie has touched deep into my heart. I was a teen mom who kept her baby. I have so much respect for the choices you made. I am sorry you went through so much pain. Sophie definitely felt all that love.

[@Lynn47latm]

I lost my first child, Cara Lynn, due to a botched breach delivery. She was an uneventful pregnancy, and my water broke the morning of my due date. The delivery was difficult and by the time anyone knew she was in trouble, it was too late for a Caesarean. She lived for 9 days in the NICU while we prayed for her to live knowing we would accept her with whatever limitations she might have. It was not meant to be, and difficult to accept her death. Fifteen months later I had my second daughter and then two years later our third daughter. It was at this point I realized the answer to my prayers was my two daughters who would not have been if Cara had survived. I can still mourn Cara, but I cherish what I was given. Only God knows what our future would have been had he allowed Cara to survive, but he decided to instead bless us with the two daughters we have. I cannot question that.

[@AK-sm3kp]

I saw a short video of Ava's testimony on X and I just gotta say, Wow! And all the praise to Father God in Jesus name! I can't wait to see what Father has for you Ava. What a blessing you are. I will lift you up to Jesus because I know you're still walking through grief. Both of my sisters lost babies. One was 42 weeks and tied the umbilical cord in a knot. The other sister had a boy who was one year, and 5 days old who needed a liver transplant. Watching my sisters grieve was just gutting. But they never would've made without the grace of God through Jesus Christ. And praise Father for the blessing of Sophie Grace, who was too perfect for this Earth. Her precious life will shine and be a testimony for those who are considering abortion. Thank you again for sharing your story!✝️🙏🏻

[@ilikebirdspodcast]

Amen! Hope you found a new show to watch throughout the week and praise to God for all you have shared with us today. Jesus loves us :)

[@hannahgracephotograp]

What a powerful story - I cried AND laughed! Ava is absolutely precious and her love for the Lord and love for her sweet Sophie is inspiring and encouraging. Thank you for sharing about this horrible loss- but it's amazing to see beauty from ashes. The Lord is so good and I pray for Him to continue to work through Ava to shine His light and bring others to Him.

[@hockeyguy2005]

My first kid died in the womb. Amniotic bands wrapped around the umbilical cord cutting off blood supply and we had to delivery still born at 4 months... oddly enough my wifes sister was at the same hospital and had to terminate her pregnancy the day before because the embryo was In the fallopian tube.... anyway it was devastating and we were 20 years old and went on to have 4 kids and my oldest is 27 now and my youngest is 19. You dont forget but time heals and you're already more open and outgoing then i ever was and you'll have your family . Best wishes.

[@ilikebirdspodcast]

I’m sorry for your loss my friend. God bless you and your family

[@Louanges72]

I cried so much! I have a Downs Syndrom 8yr old son and at 20 weeks pregnancy the doctors told me about his condition and wanted me to get rid of him. I had to fight for his life. He was born at 38 weeks by CSection. But before extracting him they asked me 3 times if I still wanted to keep him cause it was still possible to terminate his life before they did the CSection. I was a single 44 yr old mum with 2 pre teens at home. I could not imagine parting from him . He is a healthy little man. I'm glad I kept straight in my boots. I believe in him and I fight for him everyday for his education. That’s a long battle. Baby steps for his rights. You are so strong and so young! You' ll go a long way! RESPECT!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 from France❤ 🇨🇵 God bless you.

[@kaylawalton7638]

This is absolutely horrifying. Termination at 38 weeks is sick. So glad you chose life! ❤

[@lynettealexanderxoxo]

Its truly a very hard experience to explain i have lost 2 babies i pray to meet them one day. I was blessed with 3 daughters and now grandkids. My husband and I have been together almost 36yrs. and married 33yrs. I was 17teen when we got married and our 1st daughter was at my wedding at 2mths. old. You will get through this and know that God has a plan for you! Sending lots of love ❤️

[@us4damons]

I agree... knowing your baby will LIVE as long as it's on your womb, is EVERY REASON to keep it there as loooong as possible. Once I found out my son most likely wouldn't survive long, I wanted to never let him out😢

[@ilikebirdspodcast]

Wow so sorry you experienced something similar. God bless you friend and thank you for coming over from TikTok 🩵🕊️🙏

[@louisemeenk785]

As someone who is currently 23 weeks pregnant I can’t even imagine how hard this would be! She is so strong! This is every woman’s biggest fear in pregnancy. I’m so glad you had God to help you through it

[@ilikebirdspodcast]

Thank you for your compassion 🤍🕊️ right now in the name of Jesus I pray a peaceful pregnancy over you and a healthy baby that will live to glorify God in all things they do! God bless you mama. Keep us in your prayers and rotation of shows until your baby comes 🕊️🤍🙏

As a NICU nurse I took care of a baby with this condition called Potters Syndrome. The baby lived a couple of hours on a ventilator while the mom held the baby. It was very beautiful.

[@duchesslisa9099]

I’m so sorry that happened. Prayers and vibes for healing your heartbreak. 🫶🏻🌹

[@michaelconnors1301]

What a beautiful, strong, big-hearted young woman.

[@honestlyno4240]

I am so sorry and as a long time MFM nurse you aren’t alone. Other teens suffer losses as well. Thank you for sharing your experience renal agenesis is a horrible diagnosis. I will say for termination you would go through labor and delivery like normal. It is long and hard. So many teens and young Mama’s need to hear this. You spoke clearly and explained everything so eloquently and knowledgeable this will help many people. Thank you for showing while we have to mention termination we will support you with whatever you decide. It is sad we can’t be open about and have to tell you in such a sneaky manner. Your strength and faith is inspiring. I’m so glad you have some amazing friends and families. Praying for you and your family. You can go on to have an another baby without any issues. Hopefully you had a genetic screening to see if is a genetic condition or just one of those things. Today is infant loss and awareness day and this was a beautiful story to hear. healing takes time and when or if you do get pregnant again you can feel very anxious. There are therapist that deal with these. rey issue specific to pregnancy. loss of baby, and other things as well up to a year postpartum. Never be afraid to reach out. Many countries have this and meet online or in groups. Remember grief is a process and sometimes we feel okay and others trigger a memory and you can’t breathe. There is help by people who have faith or if you don’t they can help as well. Hope you continue to heal and have a wonderful and beautiful life.

Usually if there is an issue during an ultrasound they will have a doctor come in to look. They did that with me during my miscarriage at 6 weeks. I was 22 when I had my miscarriage. I was 19 when I got pregnant with my first.

[@sarahw.mcelyea5655]

I would keep her, too. 🥰

[@sarahw.mcelyea5655]

I lost mine very, very early. I knew from the appointment, that she was dead. But I chose to wait and let her pass naturally. .. In the ER (Went to ER, because I didn't know it would be so much BLOOD!!!) , the Lord touched my heart and gave me peace... I named her in the Emergency Room: Joy Grace.

[@ilikebirdspodcast]

Wow so sorry for your loss and I’m thankful you shared your choosing life story with us 🕊️ hope Joy and Sophie can connect in heaven today

[@susandick1301]

God bless you, Ava for loving your little Sophie in your womb and choosing life for her. I heartily commend you for your statements about not wanting Sophie to be ripped apart by abortion. Abortion is ugly, evil , barbaric and demonic in every way. There is nothing loving, caring, so called “healthcare” or “reproductive” about it. You are a lovely young lady. I am not able to listen to you until later. I do hope you were able to hold Sophie for a few minutes before she died. I heartily believe Sophie knew you loved her and I also believe she carried your love for her to heaven where she is praying for you. I do believe you are going to be a very loving mother for some very fortunate children some day.

Where is her full story? What happened ? Don’t just share a part of her story! I want to know the rest. If you’re going to interview someone’s story, tell the end of it too. It will reach a lot more people if you tell the whole story, not just half of it.

[@TylerHikerNurse]

Key word in the title: decision

[@Freedomfighter20251]

Murder should never be a decision

[@samuelgratta5305]

I find it funny she said how it was her CHOICE to keep the pregnancy even though the baby wouldn’t survive. Let woman decide what happens with there body parts.

[@PhoebeFuller-xc3ff]

​@@samuelgratta5305it's not just their body parts though, is it. There is another person's body parts inside them. I think I'm probably pro choice, I struggle what to think on this issue, but I do find it weird how people say it's just the woman's body at play. The baby has a body too.

[@swedee5870]

I don’t don’t understand why they don’t use the saline solution to bulk up the amniotic fluid so the baby can develop her lungs? Is it because they can’t do a kidney transplant so the baby will die either way?

[@briarelyse5136]

Isn't it great she had options to choose from and could choose for herself in that horrible situation. Personally I probably would have wanted to be induced, and others would have wanted to get the abortion. I wish her the best and good luck.

[@LucysMom1]

You’re obviously not because you don’t respect her choice. 🤡

[@kristenluevanos3048]

@LucysMom1 I respect her choice. I just didn't respect the incorrect information she is spreading. Late term abortions are not done by chopping up the baby. It's done by inducing labor. If the baby isn't already dead, the baby is given pain medication while it slowly dies in the parent's arms. There have been zero cases of viable late term pregnancies terminated just because. Women who get to the latter terms want the child and the abortion is a tough decision made out of love or health of the mother and devastating.

[@kathymiller4017]

@@kristenluevanos3048that is one of the most barbaric and disgusting comments I’ve read on Facebook.
