The first time I found out that my sister in law had chicken pox, I immediately sent her to a relative. Because I'm aware of the effects of the chicken pox in a pregnant woman. Main complication is blindness or retardation. My OB even confirmed it.
I was on my 2nd month of pregnancy. I am excited having a baby again after four years.
But after a week, my sis-in-law returned home. Claiming that shes no longer ill and healed already.
I still kept my distance but since were living in a very small house, sadly I got infected by the chicken pox too.
2 days and nights of high fever, spotting started. I went to my OB for a medicine that I could take to ensure that my baby stays.
But I was late. Spotting continues. My baby was dead already. I lost the child.
On that night i was scheduled for a D and C (Dilation and Curettage) procedure. Its all over. Pregnancy days are over.
July 22, 2011. I am officially no longer pregnant.
Did I cry? Yes!! Lots.
I just think that God may have allowed me to lose the child to protect us all from further pain so that I can move on.
I still think that If I have been more careful, I might still have the baby.
Lesson learned: Don't ever go near a chicken pox infected person if your pregnant and never had one. Save your baby.
And since pregnant women has a lower immune system, the dots started appearing all over my face.Leaving no space.
I guess they're the least of my worries now. Getting rid of these spots.

Hi Ms Joy. I was saddened when I received a text message from toni telling me that bad news...
Oh well, isipin na nga lang po natin that everything that happens has a reason...
Baka di pa lang siguro time...

ganon talaga buhay. Unpredictable. But Ive always believed naman na "All things work together for good to those who love God"
So whatever happened to me, I know naman na God is there looking.. and guiding. kaya oks pa din mapa negative or not.
