After 7 years in vain to have a child, the gynecologist who followed me for my infertility problem assured me that it will not be possible for me to get pregnant naturally, we begin to schedule the date of the ovarian stimulation then following that he should see us again to explain the process of a PMA. I am not Catholic, my husband and his family are very religious and suggested that I go and pray at the Basilica of Saint Thérèse in Lisieux.

So I went there in 2021. When entering this basilica I felt a very strong inexplicable emotion, I prayed without having much hope because even medicine had not succeeded in helping me. When I came home 3 weeks later I was very sick and was convinced I had covid, I went to see my doctor, covid negative, then I saw the gynecologist for a final check-up ultrasound before entering in the world of PMA, and there… surprise!

The ultrasound told me “we stop everything we had planned, you are 6 weeks pregnant!”

I cried, I couldn't believe my ears or my eyes when I saw an embryo on the screen. I got pregnant completely naturally, I remained in perfect health throughout my pregnancy, I never vomited once, never had covid while all the staff at my company as well as most of the patients in contact with me were positive. My baby was almost born prematurely but I managed to cross the 3 day threshold. I almost died during childbirth following a significant hemorrhage. My baby also had to be resuscitated at birth. But the story ends well, I have a little girl now in perfect physical and intellectual health, who has slept through the night since returning from maternity ward, apart from teething, I have never slept less than 8 hours per day. night on weekdays and 10 a.m. on weekends, I gave her the first name of Thérèse as her second name.

My daughter is a miracle baby. Today she is 14 months old and I am naturally pregnant again with a second future baby, to my great surprise. I constantly thank Saint Thérèse, I took my daughter at the age of 2 months to the basilica of Lisieux to introduce her to her and thank her for her grace. I had her baptized, I have not yet been baptized for my part but I think I will one day because since this event I believe a lot in miracles and have a lot of faith.
