One of the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life was giving birth to my only child, Sophia Bianca. This process started nine months before she was even born. During that nine-month period, I have to carry her and make sure she is safe and well-taken cared of. I gave up one of my pleasure, drinking coffee, to make sure she grows healthy and strong.

They gave me anesthesia which left me numb all over and immediately begin with the surgery. Even though I didn’t feel any pain, I could feel some sensation like someone was writing on my belly. A few minutes after, I heard my baby’s first cry. I gave a sigh of relief as I knew the baby was ok. The nurse took the baby
