[PrincessBree]

3 boys it is pretty cool the conference they had at 02 arena I couldn't afford the day sessions which was like £70 but the evening sessions were £5!!!So me and a friend went to like 2 or 3 evening sessions we were sat right at the top of the 02 arena lol the worship was awesome!!

sounds amazing bree x

 

[Beanonorder]

Bree I'm so glad your move went well! Will keep praying that your dh finds a job soon!
I used to go to London Hillsong. It was an amazing church. I even got baptised through them.

3boys I saw your friend blessedmomma has joined the ttc Christian ladies group and that she's also pregnant again. You should direct here! From her posts she seems lovely!

Tricks I hope your ms calms down soon.

NDH how is your pregnancy going?

My parents leave tomorrow. I'm not sure whether I'm more scared to say goodbye to them or to be alone with dh. The coming weeks are not going to be easy. We're going to have to sort out our relationship, I'm going to have to get used to dealing with both kids without extra help and dd is going to have to deal with her grandparents just leaving because she is too young to understand.

Bean thas so cool that you used to attend Hillsong London 😍it's a really awesome place to be ...How are Amber and Logan ? How on earth is Logan 1 month old already time really does fly !!It definitely seems like a time of transition for you with your folks leaving and adjusting to looking after both your lo's I pray your strength hun .God is for sure with you even when you feel like you can't do it xx Also praying for you and dh marriage the resolution has to come soon...you have been so strong and from what you have said you done evryting you can to save your manage ....I believe God will honour that either way xx

A verse I read today I want to share
Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT

Trust in the lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

I pray as you keep putting all your trust in Him for your everyday He will show you the right path to take and the way that you should go in your marriage xx

I think things are going OK Ive been really stressed out this week worried about yet another loss. Bleeding in pregnancy is stressful enough when you haven't bled in all your lost pregnancies...anyway the bleeding has subsided ad I haven't even had any spotting for 2 days now. Nausea is kicking in and I've been aware of a heaviness in my uterus a few times, so as far as I can tell all is progressing OK.
I was supposed to get beta results today but there was a lab error and they ran a qualitative test for one of them so all I know is I'm pregnant the hormonal breakdown I had over it is another good sign things are going OK will have to get another beta done tomorrow now to see if its progressing OK.
If betas look good I will try to relax until I get a scan in 3 weeks and. Pray for no more bleeding episodes in the mean time,...

Hi ladies!

I used to be subscribed to this thread and must have somehow Unsubscribed without knowing??

3boys Tricia had mentioned to come on here and I recognized it right away!

Jesus please protect and provide for all of my Christian sisters, amen.

 

[blessedmomma]

We have recently found out we are pregnant with number 8 and I have had some ups and downs with it. Even though I've been spotting since the day I got my bfp and even had a light day of bleeding in there and am now cramping the past two days, I had an amazing peace come over me today. I just feel everything will be ok. Can only describe it as the peace Jesus gives since I'm sure normally in these situations if I didn't have him I would be very afraid. My hubs decided we should still call our ob today and tell her about the spotting and cramps so they will know and can do what they feel is necessary. I'm being sent in for betas and when they reach 5000 they will schedule a scan. I had my first one run today and will get the results and the time to do the next one when they call.

 

[PrincessBree]

[PrincessBree]

Ladies I know a lot of us are going through a time of challenges ,testing of faith and transition right now want you to know I'm praying for each of you.This morning during my worship time this song blessed my soul I wanted to share it with you .It's a reminder once again that we ought to rest in Him put our trust in Him and we need only be still..we don't need to try and figure things out or make it right we dont have to strive we can trust our God with no matter what because He is lifted high above every nation and all over the earth ...He has got US and out beautiful babies ,our marriages our lives in His hand .

Psalm 46:10
He says, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

Hey Ladies
Hope you all are well .
My due date is fast approaching and I am yet to write a birth plan simply because I just want to see how I go .For those who are on their second third or eight baby Pls can you share abit of your birth story like did you go all natural ? This is my initial desire however I don't want to pressure myself and will take gas and air and later epidural if I feel like I can't cope. However I don't know how likely that is since I don't like taking pain killers or pain relief I'd rather just let my body handle the pain naturally I've never liked how they make me feel.When had ivf the pain killer they gave me called pethidine they commonly give to ladies in labor in my country and that made me so ill. Likewise when we lost our first baby I had lots of contractions and lost tissue etc I hated the meds they gave me it made me feel alot worse .I would love to have the baby in water if I can.Please can you share some of experiences how did you stay focused on God and not loose it in the delivery room lol I really need to hear something to stir my faith to know I'm gonna be able to get my boy out ? Thanks xxxx

I don't have time for a reply right now Bree but I will write some encouragement for you this evening when the girls are asleep (I may need you to remind me by commenting again on this thread cause I tend to only read subscribed posts with unread content )


I could also really use some prayer and encouragement too. This pregnancy doesn't seem to be progressing very well either.

Bree here are some verses that make good birth affirmations


The Lord gives strength to His people; The Lord blesses his people with peace.
Pslam 29:11

And Let us consider how we may spur one another on towards love and good deeds.
Hebrews 10:24

Blessed be the Lord, for he has heard the sound of my pleadings. The Lord is my strength and my shield; in Him my heart trusts; so I am helped, and my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.
Psalm 28

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7

And whatsoever you ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
John 14:13

The Lord gives strenth to His people The Lord blesses His people with peace.
Psalm 29:11

Look to the Lord, and His strength; Seek his face always.
Psalm 105:4

For the Joy of the Lord is your strength
Nehemiah 8:10

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13

Psalm 40:1

Jeremiah 1:5

Isaiah 44:2

There is another verse I can't remember the reference for right now (I thin its also in Jeremiah) about how the Lord will not bring to labour and not bring forth delivery

This site also has some additional verses, and they can be purchased on index cards for packing in your labour bag if you wish, or write out your own
https://www.myjoyfilledlife.com/2012/12/05/scriptures-for-pregnancy-labor-delivery/

The Christian freebirth group I'm in has a thread somewhere with lots of visual affirmations with verses on them too which some ladies have put on a digital photo frame to put in their birth space that constantly change and give them something to focus on. I cant find it ATM though and can't search well on my tablet.

I have had two drug free births; one with syntocinon and one a spontaneous vaginal breech birth. I definitely did lots of praying throughout both, but knowing what I do about the birth process and the intricate hormone balance at play I wouldn't have it any other way. Our creator so amazingly designed the birth process, and our bodies to give birth and there are many verses where He describes himself as a Midwife.

This looks to be worth a read too

Ndh thank you so much for sharing this I know that no matter how things work out I'm gonna need those verses and maybe having them around the room might help too to remind me to stay focused. Thank you so much and for sure praying for you please let us know how your lo is doing xx

I should have an update next Friday. Ive decided to get another blood draw then, which will determine whether I go for an ultrasound on the following Monday.

I had three blood draws last week/this week (Friday, Sunday, and Tuesday) and they all came back at 115... I don't know if that means there's a lab error (cause its really weird they did *nothing* usually they will rise a little or a lot or will fall but not stay the same), or if bean is just getting off to a slow start and will be OK in the end, or if its a failed pregnancy. I don't see a point in worrying about it right now as I can't do anything more than I'm doing now anyway, and a scan now is extremely unlikely to shed any light on the matter.
So at the end of next week I'll get another beta and see where I stand. Praying it will have increased significantly and if it has I will get an ultrasound.

I have had a birth with an epidural because he was back to back and it took all pain away and was amazing i don't regret it as pain was not even something I can describe. That was my first birth, I expected the same with my 2nd labour but was 8cm before i even realised I was in labour I had a completely natural birth that time as the g&a made me feel sick. On my 3rd 4th and 5th I had gas and air and it helped but does leave you feeling funny. My 6th birth was a funny one his head was really bit on the 94th percentile so it wouldn't come down, I was using g&a and panicked I think, I asked for an epidural which I really regret now. It didn't work, didn't touch the pain I kept telling them it wasn't working and they said it wasn't pain it was pressure. I mean come on, I've had natural births I know the difference between pain and pressure. They did come back to me afterwards and say that it doesn't work in up to 10% of cases and I was just one of those cases. Anyway the point to my story is that you can't really have a definitely plan as if it doesn't go to plan you will be disappointed, I think you are better going in with an idea of what you would like to happen but go with the flow. Every woman is different and every labour is different. I have had labours where I have said in the delivery room that wasn't so bad I'd do that again and I've had ones that were a little tougher. Just go with the flow, I find concentrating on prayer helps me in the transition period and before you know it you will be holding your bundle of joy in your arms. x
