[Jocelyn van Dam]

Najma, this brought me to tears, thank you so much for sharing your story. I can’t even begin to imagine the mountains you had to climb to achieve the levels of faith that you had for this. You are SO capable and it takes so much to surrender to that knowing especially after so many experiences where things went differently than expected. A good mantra I had to tell myself leading up to labor was “I accept whatever turn my birthing journey takes”, because truly so much is out of our control… Still you persevered and should be so proud of the outcome you created for yourself and the (at least) FIVE children you created. Bless you.
