I just want to tell you about the miracle that happened to me. After my first-born son I had problems with pregnancies. I had 9 miscarriages and the doctors gave up on me. I had been to many doctors and the last thing they wanted to try is an IVF-treatment. I had already had an appointment and the medicines (injections) that I needed for the treatment. On Lag Ba'Omer we went for the first time to Meron, after a religious woman advised me to go.
I prayed there with all my heart for a baby and a brother/sister for my son who was 9 years old at that time. One week after Ba'Omer I dreamt that I give birth and the dream was so real that I felt the contractions. 3 weeks after Ba'Omer I had to cancel the treatment because I was pregnant and 9 months later Jonathan Shimon was born. It took 10 years but it was worth it!
After Jonathan Shimon was born I went there again to say Thanks, and 3 weeks later I was again pregnant and Daniel Yisrael was born 9 months later. The pregnancies were also a big miracle but that is too much to write down.
I am from Holland, and my native language is Dutch. But I also speak German and French.
So hereby I'll tell you the rest of my story.....
The pregnancy of Jonathan Shimon was not easy and he was born very small, but Baruch Hashem he's a very healthy 5 year old boy today.
When I was 8 weeks pregnant with Daniel I went for an ultrasound to check if there is a heartbeat and the doctor told me that he had bad news for me.... There was no heartbeat and he showed me the bloodstains in the uterus on the screen. He told me that if I will not lose the fetus naturally within a week I should go to the Hadassah-Hospital for curettage. Outside I started to cry and my 12 year old son said to me: "Ima, don't worry, I promise you that everything will be alright. The doctor was wrong " I told him: "honey, I know you want another brother or sister but the doctor really told me that it is not ok." Again he said....No; I feel that this time you don't need to worry.
So I went a week later to the hospital.... Before the curettage they made a last ultrasound and the woman said: "Mazal tov, you can go back home...I hear a heartbeat! " I was surprised but very happy. Then, when I was 5 months I had to go for another ultrasound. Again I got very bad news.... This time I had almost no amniotic fluid in the uterus anymore. The doctor said that there is almost no chance that the baby will survive and he advised me to abort the baby. I went to three different doctors for advice and they all said the same thing. One (an Orthodox doctor) told me I could try, but he didn't give the baby a big chance. I rested a lot and prayed for this baby. Every week I went for an ultrasound and every week I had a little bit more fluid. At the end of the pregnancy everything was back to normal and I gave birth to a beautiful boy.
I told my story to two women who also had been trying to get pregnant for a long time. One had been trying for two years and another one for ten years. They also got pregnant the same month after they went to Meron to pray and they both had healthy children. I studied from this that you cannot trust anybody in this world, just Hakadosh Baruchu! I'm very thankful for those wonderful gifts that Hashem gave me.
