In 2021, my husband and I got married and began trying for a family.
In 2022, we faced two early miscarriages — heartbreaking, and with no clear answers.
In January 2023, we fell pregnant again. At 20 weeks, we learned we were having a little boy. The very next day, I was diagnosed with placenta previa. I went into labour at 29 weeks. Our son spent 6 days in NICU, fighting so hard — but his little body couldn't endure it.
There are no words for that kind of loss. For a long time, we didn't know if we would ever become parents.
In August 2025, we found out we were expecting again — cautiously hopeful, but carrying so much fear. That's when we found Dr Chiwanga and her team. From the very beginning, they showed us patience, kindness, and compassion. They answered every question, supported every anxious moment, and helped us find hope again when we needed it most.
At 20 weeks, we found out we were having a little girl. This pregnancy was different — in all the best ways. Healthy, strong, no complications.
On the 13th of April 2026, we welcomed our beautiful baby girl into the world. 🤍
We will always carry our little boy in our hearts. His life, though short, will always be part of our story.
But here's what we've learned — hope can exist alongside grief. After loss, it's hard to trust your body, or let yourself imagine a happy ending. But sometimes, slowly and quietly, things do change.
If you're waiting, hurting, or wondering "will it ever be our turn?" — you're not alone. Be gentle with yourself, and hold onto whatever hope you can.
There is hope after loss. And sometimes, that hope grows into something beautiful.
Don't give up. 🤍.
