I made hajj in 2013. I was 8 months pregnant w/ my 3rd child. My husband and I had gotten a hajj permit from the Ghanaian consulate but we hadn't yet worked out proper accommodations. Still, I was determined to go.
I was living and working in Jeddah, KSA. None of my co-workers believed me when I said I was going on hajj. Those who thought I was crazy enough to try warned me that it was extremely difficult for women and pregnancy would only make it worse.
I didn't care. I felt that this was my chance to make hajj, that Allah had invited me to his house. We made umrah a week before. I prayed during tawwaf and asked Allah that if it was a good thing, make it so. That same week, we got news.
