The father shared the experience on the couple’s public Facebook page “Yu-yan Recovery” on Sunday, a month after the birth of their son.
The couple, who have not revealed their names, found out about his heart condition four months into the pregnancy.
The couple, who went to multiple check-ups, were told the baby might need at least three major operations and a heart transplant to survive.
The father said that during the seventh month of pregnancy, the Christian couple prayed and made a painful decision to terminate the pregnancy at one stage, despite doctors’ advice to continue monitoring the situation.

“We experienced the plight with Yu-yan and did not want another child to be tortured by major surgery, pain or even a medical blunder,” he wrote on the page with 22,000 followers.
