Blogger friends, I would like to introduce to you all a young filipino mother who is new to the blogosphere. She is raising a 2-year old hearing impaired girl.

It was a gloomy morning on the 22nd day of November year 2005 when I gave birth to EC via caesarian section operation. EC was a high risk baby due to measles (rubiola) that I suffered from during my first trimester of pregnancy. No one could imagine how stormy the history of my pregnancy was. During that time I was told frankly by a resident doctor that the risk for congenital abnormalities to my unborn child was so high. I was not given any hope to cling on to so all the possible complications were laid out to me. My unborn baby was given a week to live because I was also told that I had a great chance of suffering from spontaneous abortion due to high fever brought by the infection. But if by chance the pregnancy continued still the probability of having a still birth was high.

Please read the rest of the story here.
