My Mother-in-Law Bought Me the Best Mattress – I Was Terrified When I Learned Her True Purpose
When I married Toby, I gained the most amazing mother-in-law. Julia treated me like her own and filled our home with warmth and support—especially when Toby and I struggled to conceive.
She tried everything to help: wellness tips, fertility massages, even gifted us a new mattress. A month later, I was pregnant with our daughter, Maddie.
But one night, after a diaper disaster, Toby found a silk pouch of herbs pinned under the mattress. He was shaken—and burned it the next morning.
When we asked Julia about it, she confessed. “I just wanted to help,” she said. “I thought if it worked, you wouldn’t mind how.”
We were hurt, but couldn’t deny her heart was in the right place. And as I held Maddie, I wondered—was she our miracle, or did Julia’s herbs play a part?
