FollowAlice and Slavery Mum would like to know what my life’s proudest moment is. Like most mums, mine was when I finally managed to cuddle Alycia in my arms and meet her face to face for the first time after carrying her for 38 weeks.
When I was carrying Alycia, I had gone through endless downs and many nerve-racking moments. During the initial stage of my pregnancy when my gynae could not detect the sac in my womb, I was worried sick that it would be an ectopic pregnancy. Weeks later, my sil who stayed with us had German measles and I was at risk of contracting it too. I got even more convinced that I had German measles when spots started to appear everywhere on my body. My gynae did a blood test to check for German measles and I had to wait for 2 weeks for the results to be out. That 2 weeks was one of the longest periods in my life. When the results were finally out and revealed that I had no German measles, I was overjoyed. Many weeks later at around 20 weeks of my pregnancy, I started to have frequent contractions throughout the day. A trans-vagina ultrasound scan showed that my cervix had shortened and upon the strict advice of my gynae, I was on partial bedrest for the next 3 months until I delivered Alycia.
Alycia was indeed a miracle, a baby whom I’d wanted so much to have and had gone through so much to conceive her. The afternoon of 5th December 2003 was indeed the happiest and proudest moment in my life. She was the most beautiful baby I’d seen.
