Finally--somewhere people can relate...

I have just been browsing through the topics on this site and I feel a sudden relief that there are others out there that I can relate to. I lost my mother last month to cervical cancer. She was diagnosed in August of last year and passed away 11 months later. She was only 44 years old. She was my best friend. I was her caregiver also so it was even harder on me over the last year to see her progession.

I got engaged and rushed my wedding so that she could be there to see it. I am so thankful for that. Now, after years of doctors telling me that I would need fertility drugs to get pregnant, I just found out that I am pregnant with my miracle baby! I have to believe my mother had something to do with it.

I just wanted to share my story and introduce myself because I know I will be on here frequently and I am open for discussion to anyone that wants to share. We are all in this together!

I most certainly beleive your mom had something to do with it! I too- pushed up my wedding so my mom could be there- it was the best decision of my life I couldnt imagine it any better. Your mom will be with you thru your pregnancy as well
