Mother with Cystic Fibrosis Gives Birth to Triplets

After doctors attempted to convince cystic fibrosis patient Kandace Smith to abort her triplets, she resisted the counsel and gave birth to the identical triplets, which were all girls.

The reason the doctors told her to terminate the pregnancy was because it increased the risk of dying from cystic fibrosis, as pregnancy makes it harder to breath.

Those with cystic fibrosis have lungs which produces a thick, sticky mucus, making it hard to breath.

Smith rejected the advice, delivering the babies at 28 weeks when it bacame more difficult for her to breath.

Smith said, “It has been the hardest fight of my life - but it has been worth every second. I would have died for my girls if I’d had to.”
