Danielle Milian was advised by doctors to terminate her pregnancy after discovering her unborn child had a life-threatening birth defect.
The 29-year-old reality star after a discussion with her husband Richard Dickerson decided to give their unborn son a chance at life, she told Us Weekly in an article on Thursday.
An ultrasound test in March found that her unborn child had ompalocele, a birth defect in which organs form outside the body.

'The tech said, ''I can’t see the sex…because I am seeing…intestines'',' said the younger sister of singer and TV personality Christina Milian.
'I was told there’s almost a 53 percent chance of mortality,' she added.
Her baby's stomach, gallbladder, spleen and liver were visible outside the torso in the ultrasound image.

Danielle said she told Richard during their discussion that she was willing to 'do whatever it takes for my child.'
She asked if he could live with her being in a hospital every day for two years taking care of their baby.
Richard asked if their son would be able to get a job and fall in love.
