My amazing pregnancy journey

3 min read

Each woman has her own unique story of motherhood.

A year ago when our first born child passed away, I was scared to get pregnant again and I never thought for a second baby. I was never ready emotionally for that and was afraid the same thing will happen again to our second baby.

I was praying to God, telling Him to be in control of everything. If having a baby is part of His plans for us, then let it be, but if not, we will accept whatever it is that He has in store for us.

Deciding to try and conceive again in the midst of the pandemic was the hardest decision and probably the next scary thing is losing my baby at the beginning of the pandemic. I do my best trusting in God’s timing and process.

Then July 29, 2020 we received our greatest blessing from God. Yes! I got pregnant.

July

I was expecting my monthly menstruation but I was worried because June is coming but I didn’t still get my menstruation so I planned to try to get a PT. I was shocked because I never expected that God will answer one of my silenced prayer.

August

The most hardest part of my pregnancy journey was because of the morning sickness, I can’t eat properly because I’ll just vomit it. I don’t have appetite, although I love sleeping.

September

Waking up early for my monthly check-up is not so easy. I also took lots of vitamins, you need to be healthy not just for you but for your baby. I need to bed rest because of the last pregnancy I had (My baby angel is premature) so I need to be more careful.

Fast forward…

January

Got my ultrasound result for baby’s gender and we have a baby gender reveal party. And we’re so happy for the result we have our rainbow baby GIRL.

April

Here we go for the most exciting part…. April 09, 2021 12:35 P.M finally our rainbow baby girl is arrived. Motherhood has a huge impact on me it has been life changing in the best way.

The journey of motherhood has taught me that God loves me more than can I imagine. Our journey can be difficult I really embraced motherhood and enjoyed all the amazing things it taught me. The gift of motherhood is a wonderful blessing, but it also comes with great responsibilities. I know it can teach you the most important lesson to learn.

Even through a few unexpected turns, I learned how to get through tough times and really learn what it means not to give up. My children are my greatest blessing, and I hope they learn important lessons through me and I realized what I was capable of and learned to love me in a way that I didn’t even realize was missing.
