It was not a walk in the park nor an experience filled with cherries and butterflies, it was horrifying—something my whole system wasn't prepared for. My mind was all over the place and my nervous system can't be at peace like I was literally going nuts. For the first four months I was able to do things normally but during the fifth month my OB Dr. De Guzman told me I had to undergo cervical cerclage (the cervix had to be stitched because it can't hold my baby for the next consecutive months) I was terrified by the idea of it, not because of my cervix needed to be stitched definitely because of the baby going out not in full term, worse fetal loss. As a result I had to stay in bed for almost 4 months like literally "rot in bed"
The hospital became my second home, every time I go there I definitely felt my nervous system going insane. I just always tell myself "I need to be here and no matter how many needle my skin have to deal with, I have to be strong because 'we' both have to make it out alive" and yes I was stronger than I thought—I just became someone I never thought I would. I was prepared for anything if it means having my hands wrapped around my little one. God helped me through it all, my fam, my ever-patient lovey, his fam. Anyway, I literally am in seventh heaven because our "brightest star" turned one month old today. Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH Dr. CHRISTINE De Guzman for helping me get through it all.
