In each different culture there is a type of Tomar.

I will never forget when the doctor said. "Congratulations Lorena you are pregnant." I felt many emotions during the first few moment, but I was mostly happy and scared. A wave of happiness crashed over me, because I could finally be able to have a little boy. (I already had two girls). I was also scared because when I was twenty a horrible thing happened to me. I was pregnant with my first son and unfortunately he was born dead at eight months. Through out my entire pregnancy I was nervous. I did not want that to happen to me again. One day I came to school and one of the teachers gave me a little Virgin Mary and told me to wear it under my clothes all the time. She said that she would protect me. She also told me that everything would turn out fine. When she was pregnant, she wore it all the time. Later I put little red lace shaped like a ribbon in mi bra. Supposedly the color red is good luck for the the baby. Some people believe that it prevents the baby from having birth defects. I changed the lace every day when I took a shower. I am Catholic and believe strongly in the Virgin Mary and thank God my son is very healthy and about to turn three. I thank the Lord for everything. The same tomar that I used I gave to my friends Daysi when she was pregnant.

hi!!! I'm sorry for your lost, but don't worry because you have a little angel watching you from heaven. I think I would die if something happened to my children.

Hi Lorena, I'm so sorry about that.I can imagine how you felt because I had a lost when I was two weeks pregnant and I felt so sad. Like you at this time I have my lovely Leonardo. I read a book last week and I found what God made with those babies.Two Angels wait for the spirit of the baby to put it inside a beautiful pearl box. Then they bring it to God and he finishes the job when they not complete. If you follow God rules when you die, he can introduce you to your son.Can you imagine that.
