Mum whose unborn baby was cut from her womb by stranger shares heartbreaking story

Michelle Wilkins was eight-months pregnant when she went to the home of Dynel Lane after answering a Craigslist post advertising maternity clothing and was attacked. 

Mrs Wilkins wept as she shared her story with Dr. Phil and described the horrific attack that resulted in the death of her unborn child.

She described how she entered the house and was given the maternity clothes. She was just about to leave when Lane asked her to see some baby girls clothes which she said she didn't need. Out of politeness she stayed, and Lane shut the door behind her. It was then that she said Lane attacked.

She said: "When she attacked me, she hit my back. It was very aggressive and hard, and I asked her, "Was there a spider on me?" and she said, "Yeah, I think I got it.

"And then she continued. I turned around pulled my hands up and said "What are you doing?” And said, "I just want to leave, I don’t want to hurt you."

"I started walking toward the door, and she grabbed me very roughly, pushing me deeper into the house towards the bathroom. We jostled a little bit in the hallway as I tried to push my way back towards the door.

"She’s pushing me deeper into the house. Finally, we get all the way in front of the bathroom and she just lurches me sideways into the back bedroom. There are so many what if’s that go through your head.

"We struggle and she keeps telling me she’s that going to call the police on me. I pull out my phone and I said, "well I’ll call the police" and that’s when the real struggle begins and she just throws me to the bed and tries to suffocate me with the pillow, with her hands and it had this nightmarish quality.

"She broke something over my head and I Just felt the liquid wash over me, and I just kept saying, "Why, why are you doing this? Why?"'

 She woke up not knowing what had happened, and called 911, saving her own life.

She later found out that while she was unconscious, the unborn baby was torn out of her womb.

Her daughter Aurora died but Mrs Wilkins, 26, miraculously managed to survive and she and her husband held her tiny daughter in her arms for the first and last time.

"Dan and I thought she was the most beautiful thing we had ever seen," said Wilkins
