My Story
.
The day I learned I was expecting should have been filled with nothing but excitement. Yet, joy quickly intertwined with fear when the doctor’s voice softened, and the word Spina Bifida echoed through the sterile room. My heart sank beneath the weight of uncertainty. I remember gripping the ultrasound photo tightly, wondering how something so small could already change everything I thought I knew about motherhood, strength, and faith. From that moment on, every heartbeat within me became both a miracle and a mystery I was determined to understand.
​
As the months unfolded, I found myself navigating an unfamiliar world of medical terms, appointments, and difficult decisions. I learned about the different types of Spina Bifida — occulta, meningocele, and myelomeningocele — each carrying its own challenges. The diagnosis for my baby was clear and specific, yet it felt like a storm without a map. Some days, I was brave; other days, I was broken. But each morning, I whispered a promise to the tiny life growing inside me: We will make it through this together.
​
There were moments I wanted to give up, moments when fear tried to silence hope. But through tears, I discovered the quiet power of prayer. Faith became my anchor — not the kind that stops the waves, but the kind that steadies you in the midst of them. In every sleepless night, I found God whispering reassurance: that this journey, no matter how unpredictable, had purpose. My baby wasn’t a burden; he was my teacher — a reminder that even in imperfection, there is divine design.
​
Today, when I look back, I see more than the pain — I see the transformation. What began as a rollercoaster of emotions became a story of resilience, healing, and grace. The sadness gave birth to strength; uncertainty turned into understanding, and joy blossomed in ways I never imagined. My Journey, My Story is not just about facing Spina Bifida — it’s about finding beauty in broken places, purpose in pain, and peace in knowing that love and faith can rewrite even the hardest chapters of our lives.
