"Unforgettable moment of life"

Have you ever had a moment that is so painful and feels like the whole world has stand still and nothing made sense anymore? I have, and I never saw it coming.

I got married August 2021 and as expected, I conceive the next year.
It was quite an exciting news.

I started antenatal as recommended, taken all the necessary medications and went for scan at intervals to monitor the baby's progress.

All this shows that everything was very okay and that me and my baby were doing perfectly fine. I was so excited about this, so I got my mind ready to see my baby.

I even went for shopping for the baby. I powered down my earnings on Steemit for the shopping on 27th May 2023. After some few hours, I noticed I was breathing fast but since it wasn't a difficult one and didn't affect me. So I ignored but my friend who happens to be the owner of the shop noticed as well.

On getting to the house I was strong and okay. But on Monday 29th May, I had fever, so I drank some hot water but it became severe the next day. Then my husband said we should go to the hospital.
We went to the hospital and I was admitted and dripped for 3 days. The doctor then suggested I should be operated on so that he can treat me properly because the medication that he could give me will affect the baby.

We agreed and that was scheduled for 4th June. Although I was still sick a little, but on hearing that I will see my baby the next day, my spirit was uplifted and I became stronger than before.

At this time I was 37 weeks and 5 days gone. On the 3rd night, by 10:00pm my vitals and the baby's vitals were checked including the baby's heartbeat and the foetal kicks and everything was okay. My sisters and I heard the heartbeat even had to laugh at the way babies heartbeat do sound.
Then nurse left and told us that the next morning being 4th she will come and prepared me for the operation. We were all excited.

4th June came but took away my blessing, my happiness and the pride of being a mother.

When the nurse and the doctor came in to check the vitals again and move me into the theatre, my baby's heartbeat could not be heard again. They had to bring a sonographer for an ultrasound check and truly my baby was gone 😩 😭

I cried, I was sad and depressed to know that my joy, the expectation of being a mother despite the pregnancy ordeal was gone within twinkle of an eye.

The operation was still done but with a dead baby. I was put to sleep so that I wouldn't see the baby. Hubby cried uncontrollable but nothing could done.

This unforgettable event in my life have leave a scar that never faded.
