To believe in miracles?

I am in total awe, and there is now a part of me that believes in miracles.. Just wow!!

5 years ago I was told I couldn't have children, which as an 18yo is pretty undigestible news as (for me anyway) the thought of becoming a mum not only terrified me but didn't really appear on my radar at all... I was told if I did ever want children I would have to be pumped full of drugs and hormones and most likely that wouldn't work so adoption would be my only option. No issue, I was more than happy to consider this when the time came!

The time came, my wonderful DH and I, newly tangled up in each other started to discuss the future, and having always been honest we started speaking frankly about adoption and all our possible options for the future - and it excited us both :)

In September last year our miracle happened, despite my prognosis AND being on the pill to regulate my cycle in a 400,000 to 1 chance I fell pregnant.

Our little miracle is 16 days old, curled up asleep on my chest and I still can't believe she's here, someone I never thought could exist is snuffling away on me and I have never been happier

I'm a mummy! And my little miracle is beautiful, somebody somewhere worked some magic the day they let DH and I create such a perfect little girl...

When I was a student nurse, I thought I had the oldest Dad ever, had all through my life, so it was a amazing moment to find a girl who was older than me by a year with a Dad and Mum in their 70's her Mum was 46 when she had her after being married for 25 years, no other children, no preganacies, nothing, Mum thought she was having the menopause,
the mystery was solved by my friend at 13 having period's from hell, and her mum realising this was what she went through, she apparently had a hymen which was to thick to penitrate, so no way baby, and period no get out route.
she was treated and during treatment at 13 told her womb was malformed so again a no way.
at 27 she actually got preganant and it was successful baby girl, but due to complications told along with her genetic problem and the chance in a million pregnancy to term there was no way she would carry or actually concieve a pregnancy again and by her own admission it was touch and go through out her daughters pregnacy, and born at 32 weeks.
so happy in their miracle baby they brought a 2 bed house with garage and allowed DH to indulge his passion for sports cars, he brought one.
15 month later she gave birth to identical twin girls..car sold, gargage converted :)

Congratulations! What a lovely story - that left me tingly all over!. I believe in miracles too. Enjoy your little bundle, they grow up too quickly!!

BellaOfTheBalls · 01/07/2012 08:03

Yes I do. Without wanting to sound like an utter sap, if you don't believe in miracles; what else is there?

Congratulations on your little miracle!

PinkChampagneandStrawberries · 01/07/2012 08:03

Congratulations I have a very similar story and my miracle is 6.5

COCKadoodledooo · 01/07/2012 08:08

My eyes are leaking. Congratulations blondie and dh, enjoy her.

comedycentral · 01/07/2012 08:09

Aww this is lovely, congratulations xx

AmberNectarine · 01/07/2012 08:26

How lovely, OP, I'm so pleased for you!

I'm a miracle, too! I had Rhesus disease, you know, that thing they give anti-D for now. Only in these days it didn't exist. My DM was strongly advised to terminate, but she went ahead with the pg. She was told I would be either stillborn, or severely disabled. She gave up her job in readiness, and underwent amnios every week until my lungs were functioning so I could be delivered as early as possible to give me the best chance of survival. I was born just before Xmas and was very sick. I underwent a full blood exchange - 7 transfusions. But I got better, and I am in perfect health. My DM says she'll never win the lottery, because she used up all her luck the day I was born.

Miracles really do happen. I hope expat finds that out very soon.

CrikeyOHare · 01/07/2012 11:52

Nope - don't believe in miracles.

BUT, I do believe that amazingly wonderful things can and do happen, and your little girl is one of them.

So happy for you :)

AlbertoFrog · 01/07/2012 11:59

Oh how lovely. Congratulations, and YANBU. I fully believe in miracles and have seen some. Enjoy your lovely baby :)

oiwheresthecoffee · 01/07/2012 12:56

Im a miracle baby. My mum should have been infertile , due to an undiagnosed illness that was only noticed when i was born by CS. She was told it was a miracle that she concieved from the condition of her internal organs.
She was married for about 15 years before i came along.

SageYourOracle · 01/07/2012 13:24

This has made me come over all teary, OP. Congratulations!

I believe in miracles too.

I was diagnosed infertile (ovarian failure) just after getting married. My sister donated eggs and I conceived first time. I had a bleed at 5 weeks but my baby was still there at the 6 week scan. At 8 weeks we realised we'd lost a twin. Then at 20 weeks came the devastating news that our baby had severe early onset growth restriction. We refused tests. At 29 weeks I was admitted to hospital with pre-eclampsia (BP was 170/140!) Somehow we hung on. At 32 weeks the doctors misdiagnosed a more serious condition & started to talk about termination or inducing me & not resuscitating the baby. We refused to even consider this . . then a second opinion said that things were looking a bit better. . . fast forward a further three weeks in hospital, very scared & not knowing if our baby was going to make it, DD was delivered by EMCS. She came out crying and, although 5 weeks early and only weighing 2lbs 10 ozs, had APGARS of 7 then 8 then 9! She needed no oxygen and we were able to take her home 28 days later. She's still tiny but turns one in 10 days. She's our miracle!

Lovely thread!
