I could distinctly remember the day I lost my mother as if it was yesterday. How she looked in my arms, her last breath, her last words, but I embraced the fact that she was in a much better place and tried moving on. It was a long, lonely and difficult road because I was especially close to her being an only child.

I decided to try and start a family and have a baby to fill the empty void that I had since losing her. Years went by and nothing happened. I thought something was wrong with me. I would literally pick fights with my boyfriend, blaming him for not wanting a family.

Then one day I downloaded The Secret app. It gave me a positive quote every day and that helped tremendously. I started to consciously think that I would get pregnant soon. Sometimes I would look in the mirror whilst I was at work and just rub my tummy, or do some in-depth research as to the do’ s and don’ts when pregnant, baby essentials and looking at baby clothes. You name it, I did it to create that feeling of “already having” what I desired. I did this for years! And I never gave up.

Then suddenly, I started getting severe belly pains, almost like menstrual craps, but no sign of my menstrual cycle. So I went to the doctor. Lo and behold! I was three weeks pregnant, I was in utter disbelief!! After six years of unwavering faith, I finally got pregnant. Although I envisioned a baby girl, I got a handsome and healthy baby boy. I couldn’t ask for anything better.

I really hope my story touches someone. Please don’t give up. Your miracle is on it’s way.

BTW, I was told by my doctor that I had a huge cyst and she said to count my pregnancy as a blessing. So no matter the situation, don’t stop believing.
