Letter to my unborn child- 24th April

Letter to my unborn child 24th April. Hello Winner, It’s been a week since I wrote to you about your development and the matters arising. As you may be aware, unfortunately you did not survive the full term. Doctor Senyo tells me it happens sometimes to couples who seek a baby through fertility treatments. We are hopeful that we will succeed if we continue to try harder. I have gone back to taking my fertility drugs in hope that we will scale this huge obstacle God been our helper. Your appearance has given me and mummy hope that it is possible. Like I wrote on my Facebook wall, your are “Gone but Not Forgotten”. Have a peaceful rest although you were not fully formed before you left us. Have a peaceful rest my child. Your expectant dad (still) BREAKTHROUGH.

Letter to my unborn child

18th April Hello, How are you doing? I finally got the chance the start typing these letters to you. I decided to write to you these letters as and when i want to chat with you to update you on your development in mummy’s womb and activities out here in Ghana. To start with, I heard about your arrival on Monday (15th April) after I spoke to Dr Senyo on phone after a pregnancy test at the Tantra Community Hospital a day before. Before, I had suspected your arrival. Mummy told me she felt a cramp two weeks to her menstrual period due date which was a bit unusual considering the fact that cramps normally commence a week to her period due date. So went onto the internet to check what could be happening and lo and behold I found out that mum was pregnant. I did not tell her anything until the hospital test confirmed it. I must say she was a bit worried because a pregnancy kit test revealed that pregnancy was negative. That made her a bit worried that evening but Dr Senyo’s confirmation made things a bit relaxed even for me. We were sadden this morning when mum started bleeding today. I was worried for some time and felt Dr. Senyo lied to us when he told us mum was pregnant. I felt he said that for us to think everything is going on smoothly and feel disappointed when the reality sets in. But I read from the internet that this occurrence is quite normal at this time because that is when you are implanting yourself in your mum’s womb. I hope what the internet said is right. If not I am afraid we may lose you but I have prayed to God to protect you and see you through all the difficult period of your journey. Once you cross your first three months in mum’s womb, you will be ok. I will do all I can possible to ensure you survive this harsh world. I am looking for a name to call you when you arrive. Nhyira? Aseda? Adom? Ayeyi e.t.c are common names now. I want to chose a twi name that depicts appreciation to God but with little popularity. Between the two of us, l will call you Winner. Hope that is cool? I am sure I would have settled the best name by the time you arrive. Fight the good fight of faith my child. God be with you. Your’s expectant dad, BREAKTHROUGH.
