I will be praying for you and your little one. May God help this pregnancy to go well and bless you with a healthy baby!
I started cramping down last night, which was alarming at first. That is why things got quiet on my end; I logged off to rest. I woke up this morning with a hard belly and no spotting; I did this for my son and daughter, so it looks like things are progressing well.
I'll let everyone know how the doctor's visit went. It's set for May 3rd. God willing, we will have a heartbeat!
Many, many thanks again, my friends, for all your kind words and prayers. It means more than you can know and I can express.
Am so deeply sorry about the last baby that did not make it into this world and arms of you and your loving husband.
Now you are pregnant once again. You are a brave woman. You have endured grief deep enough to break a lesser person. I will pray to St. Gerard for you as he is the patron saint of expectant mothers. I will pray this baby will make it into our world and that you will be cured and that the both of you can live your lives with your husband and your other son and daughter. Stay strong and keep the faith. There is a message here. Maybe this child will make some kind of impact that is not yet known. God only knows our world could sure use it. Take care and know there are those out here who are with you all the way. Don't forget to keep us posted along the way. We DO care here on Free Republic.
Prayers sent for the little one, Linda and her family.
Prayer bump.
Prayer bump.
Are you saying that it's dangerous to your life to have this child? Is that what you're saying?
I wondered why you got quite last evening. Now I understand. Hope you are feeling ok today and resting a lot. I know you will do everything you can so I don't worry about that end. I'll just keep the prayers for a wonderful outcome going.
In the meantime, my best to the family and here's a (((HUG))) for you.
Joining with the prayer warriors for you, your new baby, and your family. God Bless.
And, I join everyone else in offering prayers!
God Bess
Prayer bttt and a howdy to you AG!
Hugs and so nice to 'see' you.
So nice to see you, too, my friend! Here's another prayer bump!
It could be. I hemmoraghed with my daughter (30% abruption) at 31-32 weeks and my blood pressure and heart rate dropped sharply on the delivery table. I have very low blood pressure to begin with, so this caused all sorts of frantic activity to get my daughter out in time. I passed out after she was removed and did not awaken until the following morning. All in all, it took me several months to recover.
I also had a small battle with uterine cancer after she was born. Thankfully, they were able to get it. I'm praying it doesn't come back while I'm carrying this one. Since abortion is not an option for me, I'm praying very hard, indeed.
During my miscarriage last year, I was hospitalized twice for excessive bleeding. After the first week, when my body let my baby go, I stopped for two days. Then came another four weeks of bleeding, with the flow increasing. I was filling diapers every hour on the last day and passed out on the bathroom floor in a pool of blood. My son found me and brought me the phone; neighbors rushed me to the hospital. They thought I had experienced another abruption. It turns out that my body was still trying to provide a safe lining for my child, who was lost to us a month earlier.
This is my 5th pregnancy. I'm praying that this one, like those of my son and daughter, is successful.
Prayers and hugs.
I wanted to give you an update; it doesn't appear good. I started cramping down last night...lots of pressure inside. Kept me up for most of the night and hurt like heck.
My uterus had hardened up (as it did with both my babies) last week, which was a good sign; but today, my stomach is flatter and everything is soft and pliable again. I have a very empty feeling in my heart right now, like something is wrong. No spotting, but pressure like its about to begin.
Doctor has me on best rest for today, and I have an appointment first thing in the morning. Husband stayed home with me to watch the kids so I can rest.
I'm about two months along. We are hoping for a heartbeat tomorrow...that will be the best sign that this little one is still with us.
Please keep us in your prayers. My heart is just aching over this, and I don't know what else to do than pray.
Hand off your worries to us, and keep us apprised. The prayer warriors are here!
I join in urgent, earnest prayer for you and the little one - a good report and a successful pregnancy!
Major Prayers sent.
God bless you all.
Thank you so much, Maigrey. I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes, feeling so darn helpless, and it brings me such comfort to see the generosity of spirit from my fellow FReepers. I will certainly let everyone know how things turn out tomorrow.
