I never thought I’d have to learn what an “incompetent cervix” was.
Until the day it broke me.
We lost our daughter to something I didn’t even know existed.
Let’s back track to October 2021, I had a miscarriage making it miscarriage #9. So fast forward to November 2021 I took a test and it said pregnant. what was crazy about it was when I went in for my first appointment Jan 21, I was already 12 weeks 5days pregnant. So if you had to track, that means I got pregnant same day I had the miscarriage( my doctor office was confused and argued but I wasn’t cuz I knew God was about to do something(his test) his done it before so come Feb 18th, 2022, like any regular excited pregnant women who had made it to the second trimester after a miscarriage, I was excited to go in for my 20 weeks anatomy scan. Little did I know it was the beginning of my Test, from God. During the exams, I noticed the tech very quite than usual. She’s goes idk but I know your spirit so I will give you heads up so you can keep to your faith. Your cervix is threatening to open up. Truth I had no idea what she’s was saying.
The MFM came in and said you have a case of incompetence Cervix and she would give me progesterone to take for a week and Limit my movement. But she didn’t emphasize on the severity of my case. So I came home praying and being hopefully. A week later I got dress and went in for my follow up appointment knowing the Lord will grant my heart desires. 😂😂 Lord did I mention I had plans to go to the mall after my appointment! Well let’s just say the news I got, I wasn’t prepared for what the Lord had in store for my Family.
The MFM proceed to say am sorry but your cervix is completely open and you’re 4cm dilated with burgling Membranes( the baby is already in the birth canal making her way down) I had to go straight to labor and delivery which I did. They had me on complete bed rest with my legs up to keep the baby from coming down. I did everything on the bed the experience humble me 🥹. Mhhh God bless Nurses/aides.
After being in the hospital for close to a month, on March 11,2022 I went into Labor. By 7pm I gave Birth to our daughter Miracle Unigwe. Because of the hospital policy, after 2hours I had to let her go. For it was the will of God. He had something better in store for me ahead. Glad I kept my faith alive.
But in the middle of that grief, God began a new chapter.
The following year, March 15, 2023, I carried our son — with every precaution imaginable.
A cerclage. Bedrest. Injections. Constant prayer.
He made it. He’s our reminder that hope after loss is real.
If you’ve walked this road, or are walking it now — know that you’re not alone.
I’m sharing this story for the woman who feels unseen.
You are deeply loved. And your story still has purpose.
Stay with me — this is just the beginning.
