Your Pregnancy

WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT

-

I’ve had two preterm births, and both my babies died 48 hours after birth. I then had a miscarriag­e five years later. I decided to give myself a break and focus on my marriage. However, in 2014 I gave birth to a healthy baby boy. I was so grateful, and my determinat­ion at having more tests done eased somewhat, as I accepted that I had a healthy baby. It’s now three years later; I’m 42 years old, and have just found out I’m 15 weeks pregnant! l want to convey to all women in my situation to hang in there; you’re not alone. I have to face people’s judgements about my age, and having a high-risk pregnancy, but all I have to do is remember the pain and suffering I went through, to the growing true miracle inside of me. Thank you Your Pregnancy for helping me pull through, even when l thought l couldn’t face the world. I’ve learnt so much, and continued to read my YP even when I wasn’t pregnant. BARBRA
