Christian Ladies-Let's Pray for our Babies!!

[Beanonorder]

Thanks smile. Those scriptures are helpful! My dh and I are currently separated and have been for the past four months. Being pregnant and alone with a two year old is tough!

Babyvaughn I'm sorry for your issues. I pray when they do the scan that there is nothing serious going on and that it's all resolved.

3boys I remember you! Wow, number 7 - I am in awe of you! How do you do it?! I can't imagine ever being pregnant again and this is only number 2. All the aches and pains have been so much worse this time and having to run after a toddler. You must be supermom!

 

[3boys]

Supermom lol that's hilarious. I'm currently sitting in my pyjamas trying to homeschool my children who are also in their pyjamas. The kitchen is a bomb site. The baby is screaming. My morning sickness is threatening to get the better of me. Definitely doesn't sound like super mom does it? lol.

It must be really tough to be pregnant and alone I pray that you and hubby resolve your differences soon.

[NDH]

Hello ladies may I join you?

I'm 7 weeks pregnant with a miracle baby I thought I lost 3 weeks ago when my "period" came just a couple days later than usual. This came on the heels of a mmc in November and a Chemical just days before Christmas, so a most welcome surprise the other day to learn I'm still pregnant.

What are everyone's current prayer requests?

 

[3boys]

Hi ndh welcome. Love your miracle baby.

 

[sportysgirl]

Hey ladies, thanks for your kind words please continue to pray for us.

I will be giving some thread a break for now.

Good luck to you all and happy and healthy 9 months.

 

[Beanonorder]

Bree I'm glad you have been to the physio. Sorry you have the pain though.

Babyvaughn awesome news that baby's heart is all fine.

Welcome NDH. What amazing news you have about your miracle baby. I hope the rest of your pregnancy is as stress free as possible.

My simple prayer request is that baby turns! I'm really nervous about a c section!

 

[NDH]

Sporty I am so sorryfor your loss. How devastating

Thanks Tricia

Bean have you got a stubborn breech then? My second daughter was breech (born vaginally) and I remember the stress of those last weeks. I had so much anxiety surrounding my limited options ad went and found a different one at the 11th hour when it became clear she wasn't going to budge.

 

[Beanonorder]

Yes NDH he seems to have his head firmly lodged in my ribs. Its getting quite painful now. Unfortunately I am in China so my options are pretty limited. I had my daughter in a Chinese hospital and due to many reasons the whole thing ended up very traumatic for me. This time I have insurance so I can go to an expat hospital but because they are so exceptionally expensive I'm pretty much limited to the one I'm going to. My doctor was very open with the fact that she doesn't do natural breech births and has no experience with them. Turns out none of the doctors are experienced! Plus he is a footling breech not frank breech, and I've heard they basically only allow you to deliver naturally if baby is frank.

 

[NDH]

I'm sorry that must be incredibly stressful

What have you tried doing to get him to turn?

Definitely praying he does.

Can you ask your hospital to wait until labour starts before having a c section if he doesn't turn? They probably will object cause "emergency" c sections are more inconvenient for them when they could be planned, but there are so many more benefits to babies from waiting for labour and it is your right.

Babyvaughn Yaay prayer works God is so good so happy for you and your sweet baby xx

 

[PrincessBree]

Also Ndhwhat is your prayer requests ?

 

[3boys]

When we were looking at schools for my eldest to go to my husband felt God tell him he wanted us to homeschool. When he told me I thought he was crazy. I thought everyone who homeschooled was crazy lol. However God worked on my heart as he does and I came round to the idea. None of my children have ever spent a day in a real school classroom. So as of right now I homeschool my boys aged 10, 9 and 6 and my little girl aged 4. Honestly some times its really hard and stressful but alot of times are rewarding. I don't regret my decision and would choose it again in the morning. I read once that children are like delicate plants we need to protect them until their roots are strong so that's what I'm trying to do train them up in the way they should go.

 

[NDH]

Prayers that I'm able to relax and enjoy this pregnancy would be helpful I don't have too much anxiety at the moment but after losses I do find it creeping up on me.

 

[Beanonorder]

NDH the high risk consultant has actually recommended I wait until I go into labour so at least he is supportive of that. I go back to the regular doctor next week so we'll see what she has to say.

I've tried some of the exercises from spinning babies. Also found a few others from other websites and the doctor gave me one too. My problem is time to actually do them. I'm up in the morning trying to get ready for work and deal with dd then when I get home the nanny leaves so it's time for dinner and spend some time with dd. Then bath her and get her to bed. She is not sleeping easily lately so it's about 9pm before I get any 'me' time and by then I'm exhausted! I keep trying to imagine myself on all fours with my bum in the air at work... Its a very male dominated school so could be interesting!

 

[PrincessBree]

I read this devotional this morning which I found helpful so wanted to share it's from hannahs cupboard website .

What are you expecting?

When a woman is pregnant it is said that she is "expecting." What is she expecting? Not a dog or a hippopotamus or a field of poppies or a bag of stones. The mother doesn't have to worry about what is going to come out after nine months. She is expecting a baby.

What are you expecting from God? Is it a sure thing like the pregnant woman? Do you expect blessings? Do you expect good things? Do you expect God's promises to be fulfilled in you? If you have been through some tough times of troubles, maybe your "expector" is broken or damaged and you are in the throes of doubt or discouragement.

Here, then, are some things that you can to expect with certainty. "The Lord will accomplish what concerns me" (Psalm 138:8) "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." (Psalm 46:1) "The Lord is for me; what can man do to me?" (Psalm 118:6) "In righteousness you will be established; you will be far from oppression, for you will not fear; and from terror, for it will not come near you. If anyone fiercely assails you it will not be from me. Whoever assails you will fall because of you." (Isaiah 54:14-15)

What else can you expect? You can expect God to answer prayer. You can expect all the promises in the Bible are true. You can expect God to honor his Word. Proclaim without hesitation everything that you are expecting from God just like the pregnant woman proclaims she is expecting a baby. Why? Because that is what God is expecting of you.



I hope that this is a Blessing to you ladies as it was for me.

Ndh I will be praying for you as I know you mentioned this is an extra special surprise baby after a loss. I pray God will give you peace. Also your signature says your going to have a free birth! ! I just watched an interesting documentary which covered this!! Have you had one before I find it super fascinating and brave

Bean I actually Lol'ed at the imagery of you trying to turn baby at work lol bless you whatever time you miss being able to turn him I hope that God will make up for it ! Really praying it all works out xx

3 boys This is amazing I have always kinda held the thought of homeschooling in my heart but wasn't sure if it was my desire or the Lords ! One thing you said about roots is very true my mom told me that as soon as me and my sisters started school we changed for the worse and became children she did not know I have pondered that statement for years and can agree... I just think IF it was possible (finances permitted) I would like to ..only thing I think of though is being with the kids 24/7 and don't know if I have that kind of patience ...However in my country I read a promising article of a girl 7 years old who is about to start her batchelors degree in maths she and her brother are homeschooled!! I thought that was awesome !!

 

[3boys]

We have homeschooled through a period where my husband was unemployed it was difficult but God provided. I just couldn't give my children over to someone else for the best part of each day. They would have such an influence on my children. But that's just me. As for patience God's grace provides all we need that's not to say I haven't had to apologise to my kids on more than one occasion. lol

 

[NDH]

Thanks for sharing that devotional Bree

This will be my first free birth, though I was planning one with the baby I lost too. (And I really fell that the preparation I had done for freebirthing really helped it to be a gentle loss ) I loved my previous birth experiences, but they could have been so much better had I been free to trust my instincts so I'm really looking forward to this one

I was really nervous about putting it in my signature but so far everyone who has comments has been very positive. Its wonderful when people can support birth choices they wouldn't necessarily make themselves
