Hello, Angel Mom!
Welcome to Angel Mom I Am. My name is Amber. I am a wife and a mother of 4. I started this blog to provide a safe space for women from all walks of life to share their traumas within motherhood.

My Story
Growing up I always saw myself being a mother. As a young adult, I suffered from irregular bleeding. I always found myself bleeding in between periods. I have gone to doctors about it. They would say that they do not why this is happening and it is best to get on birth control. I was told carrying kids might be harder for me because of the irregular periods. I have suffered from miscarriages. When I found out that I was pregnant with my 1st born, I was shocked but I finally felt like life was beginning for me when he was born in 2015. I found out I was pregnant again right after I got married in 2017. I was so happy and could not wait to meet my baby. I thought I was complete. I had a boy and was finally about to have a girl. My pregnancy was complicated due to having preeclampsia. But overall, my doctor was confident that the baby and myself were going to be okay. The day came for my little girl to enter this world. My baby girl Kemi was born alive and passed away hours after her birth. I nearly lost my life an hour after birth from hemorrhaging. To this day, everything that happened to us is still unexplainable. After losing Kemi, I felt like I lost everything. I did not even know how to pick myself back up again. Prayer is so powerful. I prayed every day and grew a closer relationship with God. I had a great support system. Before I knew it, I was eating, sleeping, going out for fresh air, and going back to work. A year later, God blessed me with my rainbow baby girl in 2019. In 2021, God has blessed me with another adorable little boy. Even through my toughest days, God never gave up on me. I am so grateful. Being a mother is my greatest accomplishment.
