A part of our Love Letters to Our Bodies
I was pregnant in 2007. At 23 weeks I made the ultrasound morphology (4D).
Unfortunately, my baby had a problem – my baby had no eyes and likely problems on the brain. There is no cure for it.
I had three days to decide…
So I made a birth induction. In the hospital, I didn’t want to touch my belly, afraid to get too attached. When I came back home, my baby belly was not to see anymore – no stretch marks – it looked like nothing happened.
When we made the decision, I hoped to not see an empty container. I had lost a great deal of my weight, and it has taken years to resume it. Also, my breasts became very small, from an M to a XS-S.
I hated to see my skinny body in the mirror.
After time, I started to re-touch my belly. Now, I have a special balm for my navel, for homeopathic support of my feminine body, and to be in contact with this part of my body in the hopes of welcoming new life.
