I’ll tell you a little bit of my story. I have always been passionate about children, I have been a nanny since I was 15 years old. I took care of several children and this increased my desire to be a mother. I took care of a girl since she was 6 months old. She grew up calling me mom and all she needed was me. She took her to doctors, outings and when she was 2 years and 3 months old, her parents moved to a neighborhood a little far from mine. I was sick for 1 week until her parents and I made a deal. She was going to stay with me every weekend and they accepted. Every weekend I took her for a walk, on the beach, circus, Xuxa park, Mc Donald, Habbib’s, everything was up to me, because her parents lived on rent and didn’t have much time to be with her.
She cried not to leave and it broke my heart to have to say goodbye. Until one day her mother asked me to be a godmother! I was very happy and so was the girl. She started calling me mother godmother, she said she had 2 mothers and I had carte blanche with her to educate, scold and beat when and if needed. April 1st, 2012 I baptized her, all beautiful, a princess … She was 6 years old. Ironically, I lost her unfortunately, she died on May 22, 2012, run over by leaving school.
My world ended there! I went into depression, I was unable to work and for us we have such a strong connection between mother and daughter, that I am in the struggle to get my baby. It can even seem a little desperate, many do not understand my will, because I feel alone without it. I have been married for 6 years and 2 years and 6 months ago I started trying to get pregnant. 1 year ago I started investigating why I didn’t conceive. Went 2 GOs, one of them handed me a menstrual regulator , because my cycles since my first menstruation has always been irregular.
He passed it to me for 4 months and said it was sure that I would get pregnant in those times. Well, so far nothing! Another GO immediately passed me hysterosalpingography to do and I went to do it scared to death. I read reports that it hurt a lot, and it hurt horrors! I felt a lot of colic at the time, and there the doctor said my tubes were fine. But when I got the result as soon as I got home I opened it and read UTERUS BICORNO . So I started to research about bicornuate uterus and for those who don’t know it is a uterine malformation in which there is a membrane dividing the uterus in two sides, inside.This membrane can have varying sizes, from a small division to a complete division of the uterus on two sides. I was born with a uterus like this and my doctor explained that there is a way to get pregnant and that it was good that I found out before it happened, because a pregnancy with a uterus like this is already considered a risky pregnancy. This type of pregnancy has a high rate of abortions or premature births.
I received referral to another specialist who will try to induce the pregnancy and if I still don’t get pregnant, I will have to operate to be able to fix the uterus. I cried out of the doctor’s office, devastated, because we never think that these things can happen to us. But I have faith that I will succeed. Well folks, that’s it for now, and don’t give up on your dreams! For God nothing is impossible!
My name is Dr. Alexis Hart I am 38 years old, I am the mother of 3 beautiful children! Different ages, different phases 16 years, 12 years and 7 years. In love with motherhood since always, I found it difficult to make my dreams come true, and also some more after I was already a mother.
Since I imagined myself as a mother, in my thoughts everything seemed to be much easier and simpler than it really was, I expected to get pregnant as soon as I wished, but it wasn’t that simple. The first pregnancy was smooth, but my daughter’s birth was very troubled. Joana was born in 2002 with a weight of 2930kg and 45cm, from a very peaceful cesarean delivery but she had already been born with congenital pneumonia due to a broken bag not treated with antibiotics even before delivery.
