My name is Clorese  Austin. My story is nothing short of a miracle. I’m 39, with a history of preterm births. In 2011 I had a preterm delivery at almost 18weeks, unfortshe did not survive, I hadn’t gotten pregnant since. I began to worry, so onApril 25, I went to my OBGYN, for my yearly woman wellness, and they saw that I had 5 fibroids, none of which were on the larger scale but still, it was scary, my Dr immediately scheduled me for surgery to have them removed. During our conversation regarding the fibroids my Dr explain how fibroids can sometimes block the tubes, which could be the reason why I hadn’t gotten pregnant again. I was scheduled for surgery on June 7th 2018, on June 4, 2018 I went in to have my blood drawn for my biop, and they came back with the news of me being pregnant. God’s plan; I was so worried about the surgery because I had never had one before, and God had a diyplan for me. It was a. Challenging from the start, I was bleeding every month, when I reached 20 weeks, the found out that I had a short cervix, I had the McDonald Cerclage placed in, and was on bedrest, and told that due to my history of preterm, it was very possible I could preterm again, even with the cerclage. I’m currently 27weeks and 6days, and gave birth to my baby at 12:31am November 12, 2018. He’s currently in NICU, no tubes, breathing with a C-pap machine, and no added oxygen, he’s a fighter, it was meant to be my baby boy will come home soon. It’s going to be some hurdles to get over, but we will make it by the grace and mercy of God. Ladies never give up hope, when we plan the creator plans as well, he has the last word. Thank you and never stop believing you can become a mother if that is the desire in your heart, and God knows our hearts!! God bless each and every one of you with strong healthy babies!!!
