I would like to share an experience that really altered my life. About 15 years ago, I got married to my husband. We tried to get a child, but for three years what we could not get. We tried everything we went to, every gynecologist, but nothing was working. In the year 2012, I was just sitting in the house and I felt like vomiting, so I decided to go and have a test. Testing, I got that I was pregnant, but it was at night and therefore I could not go to the hospital. I waited for about one week and then I went to the hospital and I heard a scan and I was told that I had a child. To cut the story short, in November 2012, I was blessed with a baby boy and I felt so excited. It really changed my life because it was my first time to be called a mother and I forgot about all the battles and challenges that I had before conceiving.
