Emma's maternity photography session, and the story she shares with us, is a heart-wrenching yet beautiful reminder of how precious life and motherhood can be. She shows just how much of a strong goddess she is, and I cannot be less than ecstatic for her that she was blessed with a beautiful baby she had always yearned so much for. With her faith secure in hand, Emma persevered through the ups and downs and finally gets the chance to live a happy new beginning!
I had to find the strength within my soul to heal from this trauma...
"My journey to having my little rainbow miracle has not been an easy one. My husband and I found out back in April of 2018 that we were pregnant. We were both so excited and couldn’t wait to hold our little girl in our hands. I felt like this was a perfect time to have a child considering I am already in my early 30s. Everything was going great with the pregnancy, but unfortunately on August 1st, I started my day with my usual routine, and after assisting my first client at work, I just felt a gush of water running down my legs. My first words were GOD PLEASE ”I PRAY I AM NOT HAVING A MISCARRIAGE”. With tears running down my eyes and trying to keep myself together I just kept hoping that my child could be saved. As I cried my way to the hospital in the ambulance, I had to find the strength in me to call my husband at work to tell him my water broke while advising him to remain calm, because I had hope that the doctors will be able to save my baby. But unfortunately, as we arrived to the ER and I got examined, I was told “I'm so sorry but we won’t be able to save the baby since the pregnancy is only 18 weeks. I had to find the strength within my soul to heal from this trauma.
Luckily for me and my husband, God decided to bless us again. In January 2019, we found out we were pregnant again. I was so happy and yet scared not to face another miscarriage.
As I continued my visit to the doctors I found out I have an incompetent cervix, and this meant I had to have a cervical cerclage placed inside me ASAP. Having the cerclage limited my activities I was placed on bed rest, couldn’t do much movement and had to take a weekly shot of Hydroprogestrone to prevent pre-term labor. And as I approached the end of second trimester, I was faced with gestational diabetes. And this wasn’t easy at all because I had to watch my diet. Imagine having cravings but can’t eat what you are craving because its high in sugar/carbs...
But what kept me going through all the difficult moments were the milestones I was archiving each day with the growth and development of my child.
I feel so good to be a mother. It has always been something I wanted and I couldn’t be more grateful to God for making my dream come true. I think motherhood will register more once I am able to start interacting with my son."
