MIRACLE BABY

Ihavetwohandsomesonsof11andsix years old. After we struggled to conceive again for about two years we visited the gynaecologist. He ran tests on my partner’s sperm count – but everything was fine.

I was convinced we will be pregnant after I finished the meds the gynae prescribed but no luck. Then he referred us to a fertility specialist, but unfortunately we could not afford it.

I joined a fertility group on Facebook and started using some home fertility remedies that were discussed on this group. Nothing happened. A friend told me about the app Flo, which is an ovulation and period tracker. I used it for about six months but still nothing happened.

We started losing hope, and I was stressed, but then we realised that we need to place this in the hand of the Lord, because anything is possible to Him. In the first week of October last year, I got sick, felt tired, dizzy and was vomiting. My fiancé took me to the doctor, and to our surprise I was seven weeks pregnant. I cried like a baby, tears of joy! I thank God for my miracle baby. I can’t wait to hold him or her in my arms. NOLUBABALO MBUTUMA, PORT ELIZABETH, EASTERN CAPE
