Couple in viral pregnancy video delivers baby at 24 weeks

DINWIDDE COUNTY, Va. — The Virginia couple whose pregnancy story went viral shared some heartbreaking news on Facebook Tuesday.

Earlier this month, Arkell Graves openly wept when his wife told him she was pregnant after 17 years of trying.

Dana Griffin-Graves shared the big news with her husband by leaving a package of buns in the oven. She secretly recorded the moment.

Arkell posted on the couple's Facebook page Arkell & Dana's Baby Bun that the baby will be delivered Tuesday at 24 weeks. He asked for prayers, writing that Dana is in critical care.

Before this pregnancy the couple went through four miscarriages and one stillborn.

Today, our baby will have to be delivered, at 24 weeks and one day. As Dana is in critical care, her body has endured...
