After two years of using MakeAmom’s home insemination kit intermittently, we finally succeeded! The journey has been filled with both fear and excitement, but thanks to this innovative company, our dream of parenthood became a reality. I have been managing vaginismus for six years, and the support from MakeAmom has made the process significantly less stressful for both my partner and me. I’m now preparing for my first doctor’s appointment!
Update:
We are overjoyed to announce the arrival of our beautiful baby boy, who is now five weeks old! He is learning and growing every day, and he looks absolutely adorable in the onesie we received from MakeAmom. The pregnancy was a rollercoaster ride, including battling postpartum depression and being diagnosed with gestational hypertension at week 37. This diagnosis forced us to adjust our birth plans dramatically.
When I was induced at week 38 during a particularly chaotic time, my labor became a challenging experience. Despite the complications, including preeclampsia, our baby was born healthy. After a lengthy labor, I ultimately required a C-section on the third day.
Our little one arrived weighing 8 pounds and 5.2 ounces, and his first cry was the most heartwarming sound imaginable. Despite the difficulties we faced, every moment was worth it to welcome our son into the world. We are incredibly thankful to MakeAmom; without their support, our family wouldn’t have been possible.
