This is why we fight.

3 days before I found out I was pregnant, I was diagnosed with bilateral hydrosalpinx. I didn't know what it was, but basically your fallopian tubes are inflamed and filled with fluid & debris, preventing a pregnancy occuring, or causing early miscarriage. We were obviously devastated, as the chance of natural conception with this condition is very very small. We cried out to God and prayed it would be his will for us to be parents. And then I tested positive!!! (Dont ask me why I tested, I actually had no hope but that stick turned pink soo fast!)

A few days later I went back to my fertility doctor. She was going to talk to me about a big surgery, as the best thing to do for hydrosalpinx is remove tubes and try IVF. I told her I was pregnant instead and she was speechless.

We had so many hurdles in the early days, increased risk of ectopic and miscarriage. We've sailed through them all and are here, one week out from delivery, and I still can't believe I get to be a mum. God has blessed me with this beautiful gift and I just wanted to encourage anyone else trying, that this is what we fight for, this is worth all the tears, pain, negative tests, and medical intervention.
