Zoleka Mandela has had a series of complications that have come with her latest pregnancy. They have however made her stronger and stand as a reminder that the baby is a gift from God.
She took to Instagram to share some of the challenges that she has faced.
“We’ve had quite an emotional rollercoaster of a journey since the conception of Baby Bashala. From finding out we were pregnant on the same day my vaginal ultrasound revealed that I may have adenomyosis. This is a gynecological medical condition that can only be cured through a hysterectomy to the emotional distress brought on by non-invasive prenatal testing. To rule out down syndrome and to being diagnosed with depression and anxiety.”
As a cancer survivor, having fallen pregnant without the help of IVF just made Zoleka believe that indeed this baby is a blessing.
“I hadn’t had a menstrual cycle for close to a year until it came unexpectedly. I fell pregnant immediately after and will be birthing my 5th child in a few weeks, without the use of IVF. Baby Bashala is such a reminder that I am truly blessed and favoured. My little miracle in my womb is a gift from God.”
