Pregnant after myomectomy: Baby Gabrielle is here

A year after my myomectomy, I got pregnant and I am happy to relate to all my followers that Baby Gabrielle is here and doing well. To all those who are struggling, there is still hope. I have proven that God is still into miracles and there is still hope for all.

I understand your struggle as I have been there. I understand the tears, not knowing who to talk to and have to listen to insensitive comments from people who does not understand what you are going through even though they are just trying to help.

In all of this, I have learnt to rely mainly on God as a source of strength and hope. I cherished and I am very grateful to my husband who never lost hope, never give up, was always a strong supporter and prayer warriour and my surgeon Professor Joseph Frederick who heads the fertility clinic at the University of the West Indies hospital in Kingston Jamaica ( he did my surgery and took my baby and as good as he is, he still called me a miracle woman and that's how you know God is above doctors because even with their greatest skills, sometimes they too lose hope, but God never does). I am also thankful to all of you who continue to read and support the blog, and supported me through my ordeal, your comments, emails, phone calls meant a lot and through it all it was good to know that I am not alone even though we do not wish any of these sickness on each other.

I hope you follow my page on Facebook because even though I was not getting a chance to blog especially during the pregnancy, I continued to share very interesting and important information about different issues of the uterus on the Facebook page. The information includes new research, healthy lifestyles, what PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids etc sufferers are experiencing, trying and what is working...So keep posted to that page and whenever you have a story share. If it is one thing I will encourage you to do even though it is the hardest thing to do (especially with how critical people can be) is TALK! Do not fear talking. If I had chosen to give little details when my lecturer asked me if I was pregnant, I never would have met Professor Frederick, one of the best surgeons and a researcher in the field of fibroid in Jamaica, I never would have  known the many people who are going through the same and can encourage them to stay strong and maybe today I would not have been looking at the face of my beautiful daughter. Just as me talking might have helped you, you talking may help someone else. Tell us your success story, your struggles, your treatments and how they are working and let us continue to help and encourage each other.
