Richmond, Va ? A brain-dead pregnant woman who has been kept on life support for nearly three months to give her fetus more time to develop gave birth to a baby girl Tuesday in Richmond, the woman’s brother-in-law said.

There were no complications during delivery and the baby “is doing well,” Justin Torres wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press. The baby, Susan Anne Catherine Torres, weighs 1 pound 13 ounces and is 13 1/2 inches long, he said. The infant was delivered via caesarean section, the hospital said.

Susan Torres, a 26-year-old researcher at the National Institutes of Health, lost consciousness from a stroke May 7 after aggressive melanoma spread to her brain. Her husband, Jason Torres, said doctors told him his wife’s brain functions had stopped.

Torres was about seven months pregnant when the child was delivered. Doctors had hoped to hold off on delivering the child until 32 weeks’ gestation. A full-term pregnancy is about 40 weeks.

A spokeswoman declined to release any additional information, including Susan Torres’ condition and whether or not her life support was still in place.
