Hi.
I am new here but wanted to share my story. In mid jan last year i found out i was pregnant. It wasnt planned, i was a hard working mother of 2 and just starting out in a new relationship. My children then were 11 and 7. I worked 67 hours a week.
After agonising weeks i decided not to continue with the pregnancy and went for a medical abortion. It was awful. So awful.
I took a week off work and tried to get back to normal, i booked 3 weeks in egypt for me and the kids and worked hard for spending money.
3 weeks later tests where still coming positive, hormones they said. Yet 4 weeks later i felt so so poorly. Blood test shown my hgc level at 78000. They should be below 5. I was sent for an emergency scan. I sat and watched and was gobsmacked when i saw something move. "13 weeks pregnant" said the lady. How could this be i thought.
I was lead straight into a consultant room where they said i should consider a surgical abortion, because of the drugs carrying full term was unlikely and the baby could be born with some deformity. I objected, if my baby was fighting then so was i.
The abnormality scan shown everything was fine, although we wouldn't be able to see some deformities until after the birth. The scan shown i was having a girl.
Pregnancy was hell, i felt so so guilty. I cried, alot!!
Due date came and after just 39 minutes i delivered a baby girl, so beautiful. Above all sooo healthy.
She is almost 1 now and i take anti depressants because of the guilt i still feel, but you no what she defined all odds. She was walking by 9 months, she says 30+ words and can count to 7. Shes my miricle.
She is my bessing i am thankful for every single day xxx
