On September 18th, government forces damaged many homes and injured many adults and children. In one home there was a mother of three children. The mother's name is Amira, Amira was also nine months pregnant with her baby girl when this attack happened. Her children were injured and she was also injured. Amira and her children were taken to a nearby hospital to be cared for. Her three children had minor injuries, but Amira had had multiple life threatening injuries. She was bleeding from all different parts of her body including her stomach. The doctors did an emergency c-section. The baby was OK, but had a shrapnel on the baby's forehead just above her left eye. The doctors said that the mother was pierced with the shrapnel and then hit the baby's head. "We don't know if the baby girl saved her mother from this shrapnel or the mother saved her baby" a doctor told CNN, "but we all know that the devilish regime tried to kill them both."
Do you think that the baby saved her mother or if the mother saved the baby?
How do you think the shrapnel hit the mother?

Good but you could have commented more frequently.
I think that the mother saved the baby. . I think that the shrapnel must've flew around the room and hit her in the stomach.
I believe that the mother saved the baby. Babies aren't built strong yet. I think that the shrapnel must've flew around the room and hit her in the stomach.
I think that this is very sad first off for the mother to go through this and i think both are very lucky. Either one of them could have been killed but thankfully they both saved each other.
I think that the mother saved the baby, babies that young are still not built very strong yet. I think that it must have just hit her in the stomach and just sliced through.
They saved each other. I have no idea how a shrapnel hit the mother.
I feel like possibly the baby saved the mother, but I am not sure. I do not know how that hit the mother.
I am not sure who saved who. Maybe they saved each other! I think that the shrapnel where flying around and hit the mother in her stomach.
I definitely think they both saved each other- and I'm glad they did! I think that the situation was so chaotic and mother was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I don't know who saved who, but I'm glad that both are okay. I think metal pieces were flying around and one must have gotten lodged in her stomach.
