She is so happy now but I don’t want to make her second guess it so I am telling you.

I am a deeply empathetic person. When my friends and loved ones hurt, I hurt for them too. I’ve shared the story on here a few times but got shut down the first time because I was like begging the universe or whatever god to give her a baby and I guess people were like “why do you care so much.”

Well I just do. She had a still born, and then she had miscarriage after miscarriage. Birth control does not work for her she even got pregnant on the IUD so her super ultra fertility is not due to lack of taking a pill on time. Her body is just super fertile. The problem was that she couldn’t stay pregnant past 7-8 weeks. I stayed updated with her for a few pregnancies, she told me everything and she was considered high risk and had like blood work every other day it seemed and we would see the progesterone levels drop so she was taking progesterone and it was still dropping and she just kept miscarrying. It always started out SO promising, high HCG and progesterone Levels and each time was just completely devastating for her. I would always tell her “I really believe you’re going to have a baby. I swear, I just feel it. This baby is coming you will have that moment.”

So man, I prayed. I prayed a whole night for whoever was listening to just give my friend a baby. She deserved more than anything to have that moment when you give birth to a healthy child and hear their first cries and see their face for the first time. She was hurting so much, just in this fog and every miscarriage after her still born added weight to the pain.

But then she told me “I’m getting my tubes tied I’m sick of all the loss and pain, I cannot do this anymore.” So I accepted that too, I didn’t tell her that I prayed I just accepted that she was making the best choice for herself and her mental well-being.

I guess her and her husband went back and forth about who was getting sterilized for a min but then when she went into her appointment for the tubal they told her she was 14 weeks pregnant. She’s almost due now. She’s had an easy, complication free pregnancy and her high risk doctor told her to expect just that.

Ever since she hit viability week (her still birth was at 18 weeks) everything about her has changed. It’s like the light in her soul came back on and happiness is just emulating from her and that just makes me so happy for her. She’s finally posting belly pics, she just now started buying the baby clothes and she’s 8 months along. She’s finally allowing herself to believe she’s going to have a baby, she’s allowing herself to fall inlove with the baby and anticipate nothing but a successful delivery and a healthy baby and I just can’t. I love seeing other people happy especially after so much pain.

After a while I told her that I prayed for her to get a baby, and she loved it and thanked me for always staying positive about it even when she wasn’t ans says I spoke this baby into existence lol

I just cannot wait until it’s baby time. She’s already agreed to send me pictures of her and her husband snuggling that baby so good and smelling her head (newborn baby heads smell so good lmfao) oh and yes I told her there was no rush to send the pictures, I’m all for leaving new moms the heck alone to adjust for a min and plus all of this pandemic

I won’t get to meet her until all this Covid crap is over, and she feels safe and I feel safe and I’m tested. I won’t feel comfortable to meet her probably until she’s months old, but man. I’m definitely going to tell her she’s an answer to her momma and friends prayers. Cant wait

I’m still so thankful she trusted me enough to share her journey, to keep the secret of every positive test. To keep me updated on what was happening, Even planning every pregnancy announcement and to know now that she’s about to give birth soon. The whole thing is beautiful

Bookmark this post, come back to it in a month or so. I will update, I won’t share pictures though. I will just update you when she gives birth and tell you all the happy things about it, happy things about happy mom and baby. And you will know that my friend has her rainbow baby in her arms. I might also make a new post and put screen shots of this post on that one. It will be in health and lifestyle.

I will definitely send prayers to anyone who asks because in my experience they help! Lol

Oh my gosh y’all, she just posted 3D ultrasounds of the baby’s full face and it’s clear as day and she is absolutely beautiful. She already has her moms exact nose and has the chunkiest cheeks. lil healthy chunk ❤️
