World's Shortest Mom Rejects Abortion to Give Birth to Healthy Baby

Covington, KY (LifeNews.com) -- Stacey Herald isn't like any other typical mother. She's small in stature -- born with a condition known as osteogenesis-imperfecta -- but has the courage of an average-sized women several times her size. Herald stands just two-feet four and a half inches tall, or 28.5 inches total, and she recently rejected an abortion to give birth to a healthy 18-inch baby. Herald says she thinks she may have set a record for the world's shortest mother. She recently talked with WAVE-TV about her new baby, whom she named Mukeya. "My whole life I've been told that I wasn't able to have children," she said. "I would not live through the pregnancy, that with the size of my torso, the baby would grow up underneath my lungs and smother out my lungs and my heart and we would both die." "And something inside me just didn't believe that," Herald said. The young woman said abortion was never a consideration. She is studying to be a minister and says children are a gift from God.
