During the 20th week anatomy scan, I was found to have an \\u2018\\u2019incompetent cervix\\u2019\\u2019. This could not be explained as my 1st pregnancy was stable and the baby was even born post EDD. My aim is to raise awareness of incompetent cervix (IC), coping with an IC pregnancy and the various interventions available to avoid pre-term labour. With this page, I hope I can embark on this healing process by writing and sharing my experience and all the aspects we have already experienced with our previous pregnancy with Olivia Amali and finding strength in this journey. In this page, I will talk about this last pregnancy, life with IC, our stay at the hospital, life after being discharged and living a life of continued hope and trust in our God who knows it all. As serious and emotional this story will be, I hope the words brings life, light, joy , awareness, comfort and hopefully some moments of laughter to someone. I hope that this platform will bring encouragement to families, those still waiting for their rainbows after years of fertility treatments, miscarriages, still births, pre-mature deaths and fellow grieving mamas in general especially those who can not find the words to express themselves. I am excited about inviting you to this \\u2018HOPE\\u2019 ful yet terrifying story. Love.
