A HEARTBEAT THIS TIME

I had a miscarriage in December last year. I was more or less 10 weeks pregnant, and we were expecting twins.

It was something we wanted and planned for. Having to return home with such a loss and to go back to work was not easy.

I would often cry, but a miracle happened. In the first week of February we took a pregnancy test. It was positive. But I thought it was a false alarm.

We made an appointment, and guess what? A heartbeat confirmed that there was a human growing inside me.

We are so happy! We are 21 weeks pregnant, and our baby boy will be named Atlehang Muzi Mohapi.

This is a blessing and confirmation that sometimes things happen because it is the right time, and sometimes things are taken away from us...
