Mark Zuckerberg the owner of the biggest social network (FACEBOOK)
in the world shared this on his Facebook page.
His wife, Priscilla
after having series of miscarriages in the past is expecting a baby girl
soon, and Mark has this to say:-
Priscilla and I have some exciting news: we’re expecting a baby girl!
This
will be a new chapter in our lives. We’ve already been so fortunate for
the opportunity to touch people’s lives around the world — Cilla as a
doctor and educator, and me through this community and philanthropy. Now
we’ll focus on making the world a better place for our child and the
next generation.We want to share one experience to start. We’ve
been trying to have a child for a couple of years and have had three
miscarriages along the way.You feel so hopeful when you learn
you’re going to have a child. You start imagining who they’ll become and
dreaming of hopes for their future. You start making plans, and then
they’re gone. It’s a lonely experience. Most people don’t discuss
miscarriages because you worry your problems will distance you or
reflect upon you — as if you’re defective or did something to cause
this. So you struggle on your own.In today’s open and connected
world, discussing these issues doesn’t distance us; it brings us
together. It creates understanding and tolerance, and it gives us hope.When
we started talking to our friends, we realized how frequently this
happened — that many people we knew had similar issues and that nearly
all had healthy children after all.We hope that sharing our
experience will give more people the same hope we felt and will help
more people feel comfortable sharing their stories as well.Our good news is that our pregnancy is now far enough along that the risk of loss is very low and we are very hopeful.
Cilla
and our child are both healthy, I’m extremely excited to meet her and
our dog Beast has no idea what’s coming. In our ultrasound, she even
gave me a thumbs up “like” with her hand, so I’m already convinced she
takes after me.We’re looking forward to welcoming her into the world and sharing more soon when she’s ready to come out and meet everyone!
