I was just meditating and pondering on a situation in my life (while mopping the kitchen floor) when it came to me that I should post it here for special prayer.
My husband and I got married late in life ( I was 38 and he was 47). We decided that since we did want a family that waiting wasn't really an option. God blessed us and we became pregnant as soon as we tried.........unfortunately at 8 weeks the baby's heart stopped and I began to miscarry. The miscarriage never progressed far enough along and I ended up having to have a D N C. The doctor told us that first misses are very normal and to try again. Within two months I was pregnant again. This time after a very difficult pregnancy and much prayer God blessed us with a beautiful son. Before he was born we had discussed the fact that we would like to have a second child. Neither of us want him to be an only. We both came from families with siblings and would like to give him that blessing as well. When he was 8 months old I became pregnant again (planned again also). I started spotting at about 10 weeks. The doctor ordered and emergency sonogram. Everything looked great! The hear was beating, the baby was moving, there were little arm and leg buds.......... At 13 weeks I began to spot again. At 13 weeks and 4 days I had another emergency sonogram, this time there was no heart beat. The baby was swollen and dated only 10 weeks and 4 days of age. I had to have another D N C. The doctor ordered tests to see what happened but we got no answers. For some reason the pathology report came back that they had fetal tissue and parts, placenta and maternal tissue, but only the maternal tissue was sent on to the chormosone lab. I have had a physical by my ob/gyn and everything looks good. She said we could try again in June..........................We so badly want a second child.......I am 39 1/2 now ..............please pray that God would bless us with an easy/full term pregnancy and a HEALTHY child. We don't care if it is a boy or girl...........just HEALTHY.
God Bless, Trisha
