The first Baby Born After a WOMB Transplant!

Image
Seeing a child come into the world is a monumental experience. It doesn’t matter how the baby was conceived, (or in the case of this couple from Sweden), born. All children are to be celebrated and loved. When your baby is born, out of the 251 lives brought into the world every minute, your’s is the most beautiful and the best. But for 37-year-old Malin Stenberg, motherhood almost didn’t happen. She and her partner, Claes Nilsson, saw their son, Vincint born against some massive odds. Stenberg was the first woman to give birth after receiving a womb transplant. Though he doesn’t know it, little Vincint, who is now a year old, pioneered the way for other children to be born from transplanted wombs. At the young age of fifteen, Stenberg learned she had Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRks). This mostly occurs in females. The vagina and uterus are underdeveloped.

The Funny thoughts of a Leap Year Born

Image
My name is Chizitere Mbakwe Okwor, Mother, Wife, Media Personality, MC, Blogger, Media Content Developer, Humanitarian and God’s very own.  I was born on 29th February a couple of decades ago... anyone notice there’s no 29th this month? Does that mean I don’t have a birthday this year? Yea, you wish! I do have a Birthday this year and it’s on the 28th of this month! 😂😂😂. So over the years, I have had to deal with being a leap year/day born. For instance, when I am doing an online registration on a year that isn’t a leap year and input 29th feb, it sometimes do come back as error! 😳😄really? Facebook used to be really confused too on which day to pick as my birthday on years that are not leap year, so I think they just decided to give me two days to celebrate, 28th and 1st of March!🤣.  One time when I was in the University, year one to be precise, i had a few friends come over for a small feast to mark my day... quite fortunately, they came alone with nice gifts...

Wife finds her death certificate in husband’s Pi LinkedIn WhatsApp A Lagos based nurse and mother of four, explains how she found her death certificate in the vehicle of her husband and father of her children.

Our plan has always been that when our first child finishes primary school, we will relocate to the US. About a year ago, my husband started dating a lady in her late 30s. I saw her messages and challenged him after which he appologised and I forgave him. However, to my surprise, he came home late on Friday night and slept very early on Saturday. I drove his car out to refill the gas. I saw an enve...
