Sudan is facing growing international condemnation after a woman was sentenced to death and forced to give birth while shackled to a prison floor for marrying a Christian.
The US State Department described the case of Meriam Ibrahim, 27, as "horrific" and continues to press Sudanese officials to intervene.
Muslim women in Sudan are forbidden from marrying out of their faith - but although Ms Ibrahim has a Muslim father, she claims to have been brought up a Christian as that was her mother's faith.
A court rejected this argument and found her guilty of apostasy in renouncing Islam and adultery for marrying a Christian, Daniel Wani.
Ms Ibrahim was sentenced to 100 lashes and death by hanging earlier this month but her killing was suspended for two years so she could nurse her daughter Maya, born on a floor on Wednesday after guards at Omdurman Women's Prison refused to release her.
Daniel Wani holds his newborn baby in prison "We're concerned about this horrific case, and we've expressed that many, many, many times," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.
"We'll continue to press through every channel we can our concerns about this case."
Former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton is the latest high-profile tweeter to express outrage about the case following posts from Mia Farrow and Richard Branson.
"Meriam Yahya Ibrahim's death sentence is abhorrent," Mrs Clinton wrote. "Sudan should stop threatening religious freedom and fundamental human rights."
The couple married in 2011 The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has also voiced concern.
"Our religions tell us that human interactions should be shaped by compassion and humanity, not by death sentences," he said. "Christians and Muslims should be able to coexist alongside each other."
US embassy officials have been attending Ms Ibrahim's public hearings and are monitoring the appeals process in Khartoum.
Ms Ibrahim remains incarcerated with her newborn baby and 20-month-old son.
Mr Wani, a US citizen, said on Thursday his wife and children were holding up well.
"As for the new situation, her psychological condition seems to be slightly better and Martin (the son) is also in good condition and is not naughty as was the case before. And the girl, of course she is still small, she's in good health."
Mr Wani with young son Martin Both the US and UK governments have summoned the country's charge d'affaires to discuss the case - which Mr Wani is hoping will be reviewed.
"I hope they will take another look at the case - they will find many flaws, enough to cancel the judgement or close the case," he said.
Ms Ibrahim's ordeal has raised questions about whether the UK should continue to provide aid funds to Sudan.
The Department for International Development gave £42m in aid to Sudan in the last financial year
"Sentencing a woman to death for following her religious beliefs is truly appalling," a DFID spokesman said.
"The UK does not provide any direct funds to Sudan's government. Instead, we get aid directly to the most vulnerable people - including women and girls - through independent agencies like the UN.
"Improving girls' and women's access to basic services, economic opportunities, and human rights in Sudan is a top priority for DFID Sudan."
Islamic sharia law has been in force in Sudan since 1983.
