Any mama's needing prayer for their pregnancy or any other issue?

AmandaluvsJames · January 2015

Hi, I'm Amanda Lynn.Mommy to two handsome felkas, Judah (3) and Jeremiah (2).I would love for you to share any request that you might have for prayer.

barrelocarol · January 2015

I love this. I love that you posted this. I am just so thrilled to see this kind of sweet, uplifting support!

As a first-timer, I find that I am experiencing things in surround sound. The negative voice that tells me "So many other women have done this, successfully, and I am struggling so so much with the sickness and symptoms and have no idea how to function in a regular day with this deluge of symptoms. Everyone can do it, and you are just weak."

That negative voice isn't allowed in our household.

I'm Carol and I'm 9w1d

Hi Amanda, I'm a FTM and have had juvenile diabetes since last April. My doctor says there's a 2-3 times higher chance of birth defects with diabetes. I'm trying hard to keep my blood sugar within the healthy range and I'm praying every day for my baby. Since I haven't told friends or family yet (I'm only 6w4d), I'd really appreciate if you prayed with me

thanks so much!! Can I also pray for you?

mishons26 · January 2015

Prayers to all of you! I was diagnosed with subchorionic hemorrhage today and have bled more than id like, was very scared. Baby is currently fine and growing I just pray I stop bleeding SOON! We lost a child 5 years ago due to a missed miscarriage. Hoping this is our time! Prayers please! And praying for you all! So nice to see an uplifting post for once! God bless!

AmandaluvsJames · January 2015

Carol, I am thrilled to see a positive response here, as I was unsure how it would be received

I will definitely be praying for you.It is so hard to function as normal with all of the pregnancy symptoms. I have recently been battling with the guilt of feeling like a failure as a mom to 2 little guys, as a wife, in my job, and definitely as a housekeeper

roots&wings · January 2015

I love the positivity in this post! First off, let me say that I'm praying for you all and wishing you all a Happy & Healthy 9 Months!

I have been praying every day for patience. I still have a little under two weeks until I can see if my baby is a tiny empty sac like last time or if it is a growing baby. I constantly have conversations/Prayers with God asking him to grant me the patience and acceptance of what has happened and what could happen. I also thank Him every day for my sweet little family. I would love to have more prayers please. I definitely believe in the power of prayer!

bethb51885 · January 2015

Hello ladies. You will all be in my prayers as well. As an FTM I am excited but also terrified. It is so good that we can support each other, especially early one if you are like me and waiting to tell people.

AmandaluvsJames · January 2015

@jenkundig‌ You will certainly be in my prayers. It's scary enough being a FTM without having something like diabetes added to the mix.I do want to encourage you that the statistics are so often wrong or miraculously disproved. My mother in law was told that she needed to end her pregnancy when she was pregnant with my husband.The Dr. told her that the chances of her having a down syndrome were very high and that thd chances of him being healthy were skim. Well, she decided to take her chances as it were and boy am I glad that she did. Mu husband is the light of my life and I can't imagine life without him.He is brillant, successful and wonderful in every way, the Dr's are telling you about these birth defect statistics and I know it has to be so scary, but hang in there you never now what plan God has for that precious baby of yours. I will be praying for you and ask that you'd pray 4 me to, as I had a miscarriage 8 months ago and really hope this pregnancy will go well.Thanks for responding and God bless

AmandaluvsJames · January 2015

@mishons26‌ I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis.I can only imagine how scary that would be.I too had a miscarriage 8 months ago and understand how hard it is not to think it might happen again. I am thrilled to hear that your baby is growing sell despite your condition.You may have heard the story in the news, but recently a women was told she needed to end her pregnancy so that she would not die as she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She refused to do so and now 9 months later she is cancer free and has a beautiful, healthy baby.Stories like hers are so encouraging and give me hope! I am praying that all goes well for you in this pregnancy, take care and God bless.

Mrs.Honey · January 2015

Yes please. I have my first appointment tomorrow-she wants to see me early b/c I've miscarried before. It's too early for an ultrasound, so I'm praying for patience and acceptance of whatever information I get tomorrow.

AmandaluvsJames · January 2015

@roots&wings I am definitely right there with you on the prayer for patience! I am 8 weeks and I did have a miscarriage 8 months ago as well.I am just so anxious to get to week 12, since 80% of miscarriages happen before then. But like you, I also try to focus on my sweet little family and how blessed I am to have them. I am hopeful for you that when your 2 weeks of waiting are up that you'll see a beautiful little rasberry sized baby with a strong heart beat.I will certainly be praying for that result. You clearly have a sweet spirit and I pray that God will greatly bless you on this exciting journey. Take care

AmandaluvsJames · January 2015

@Mrs.Honey I am praying right now for you and for your apt tommorow. Remember the HCG levels are not always accurate apart from ultrasound so don't let those numbers scare you

I was not expecting to get sn ultrasound at my apt, being only 7 weeks at the apt, I was super nervous as I miscarried 8 momths ago but also very hopeful. Sure enough there was a nice strong heartbeat and I am hopeful that you will have great news tommorow too . Take care and God bless

AmandaluvsJames · January 2015

@bethb51885 Congratulations! I pray that the next 9 months will be an awesome journey for you full of excitement and wonder. I love Psalm 139:13-14 which says, " For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." That's the verse that I used to say to my now 2 and 3 year old when they were in the womb, now the three year old say the second half to me

God bless!

hspage517 · January 2015

I will pray for everyone here and ask for yours as well. I was measuring 9 days behind at my 7w2d us and today my hcg levels show to be dropping slightly. I have an appointment Tues to confirm a missed miscarriage. I know God knows what's best but I just have cried my eyes put praying for a miracle.

AmandaluvsJames · January 2015

@hspage517 Your certainly in my prayers, I can think of few things in my life that have been as heartbreaking as when I miscarried. I love your positive attitude that you are praying for a miracle. God certainly could do just that!Take care, your in my prayers

pmercedes · January 2015

I don't normally comment due to being young and sometimes feelings like I haven't a clue but this is the one post that has almost made me cry. Prayer in general is always welcomes for me my fiancé and I just pray for a healthy baby and wish the same for all of you mamas! God bless and may the favor of his grace be ever present .

myspecialkid · January 2015

@AmandaluvsJames‌ you have blessed me just by making this post. Thanks for posting.

AmandaluvsJames · January 2015

@myspecialkid‌ I am so glad! May the Lord bless you, thanks for the encouragement

AmandaluvsJames · January 2015

@pmercedes‌ I am so glad you did reply! I will be praying for your little family! May your pregnancy journey be filled with joy and excitement! All the best to you

mlindon · January 2015

Thank you for posting this. I will be praying for all the Mamas on here that they well have healthy pregnancies and deliveries. I'll also be praying for strength and comfort for those who have had a loss and those struggling with first trimester symptoms. I ask that others pray for me.

AmandaluvsJames · January 2015

@mlindon‌ Thanks for your response, I'll be praying that you have a wonderful pregnancy full of joy! God bless and thanks for your prayers too

May God wrap his arms around us all and bring us peace and comfort during this pregnancy. Such an amazing gift we have been given, and I pray we all have a healthy journey!

courtney198078 · January 2015

Hi I just wanted to encourage you I don't know why your doctor would scare you by telling you that I am also a type 1 diabetic and I have 2 beautiful healthy girls one 3 and the other is 5 my doctors never told me anything like that I know there can be complications of your blood sugars are out of control so be diligent and check often you will probably have a lot more ultrasounds than most other non diabetic pregnancies which is actually nice and also be induced a few weeks early which I think is also nice but my doctors are all for me having another baby just keep your blood sugars in check and if you are not on an insulin pump and would recommend getting one ASAP best thing I ever did for my blood sugars. So please don't worry about birth defects I think that is highly unlikely unless you don't care of yourself my pregnancies were great unfortunately I just had a miscarriage yesterday but I am gonna try again I wish you best and if you have any other questions about diabetes and pregnancy feel free to message me

AmandaluvsJames · January 2015

@courtney198078‌ So glad you shared this, proof that the numbers and statistics Dr's throw around shouldn't be taken as the final word on the matter. I'm so sorry for your loss, but I know that your 3 and 5 year old will be great comforts to you through this. You're in my prayers, God bless.

trinay05 · January 2015

I love the positivity on this post! I'm sending many many prayers to everyone on this post. Like many I am a FTM and was told several years ago that it would be difficult for me to get pregnant, naturally anyways - I have PCOS, Insulin Resistant and borderline diabetic. I have to monitor my diet closely which is driving me insane plus stick to medicine that makes me ill. I must say its tough but being a mom means more to me than anything else...so I suck it up.

I did experience some spotting earlier throughout the week and lost it emotionally. But after going to the doctor and seeing & hearing a heartbeat I knew I had to calm down and trust God. Prayer is a powerful thing and it will carry you through your roughest times. I pray for you all to have a healthy and happy 9 months ahead. Nothing is impossible when you have God & prayer on your side :-).

Mrs.Honey · January 2015

Thanks so much @AmandaluvsJames. My spirit felt so much lighter after reading your message and everyone else's prayer requests. Unfortunately, things have gone from bad to worse since I got home

TTCAfterKidneyTransplant · January 2015

Hi ladies. You all will definitely be in my prayers.

I was diagnosed with Polycystic kidney disease at age 14 & was on dialysis until I was 16 when I received my kidney in August of 09 from a deceased donar. All I know is that it was from a 5 year old girl named Jodi. Fast forward 4 1/2 years and im 22 now and a soon to be FTM.

I'm very excited but at the same time nervous because my transplanted kidney is on top of my right ovary and the baby will be growing on top of my kidney so I'm considered high risk pregnancy with that, being underweight and the anti-rejection medicine I take.

I'm 5w2d so far edd September 30th This post is much needed. You all will be in my prayers and if you haven't heard this today...You Are Beautiful & You Are Loved

Have a fun, safe & blessed 9 months.

Cissce1313 · January 2015

I was told everything was right where it should be sac size yolk and levels except there was no fetal pole or heart beat. I have another sono on Wednesday and some more prayers this way would be much appreciated. I have been sending mine to all you ladies since I joined this message board! God bless

shhhambersays · January 2015

This is awesome, I think everyone one needs positive vibes. Weather we think we do or not.

glitzypurple · January 2015

Finally found a post thats positive and uplifting! Please pray for me as well as i have subchorionic hemorrhage and my doctor called me up this morning and said the papsmear showed i have bacterial vaginosis. Having brown discharge for some time now and am in total bed rest. Hope the discharge stops and the hemorrhage goes away soon! Thanks in advance for the prayers

rachelb51212 · January 2015

Thank you so much for starting this feed! I am 7w2d right now and suffered a miscarriage in August at 7w4d. Thankfully, I have had no signs of miscarriage thus far. My first appointment is Monday, and I'm praying for a strong heartbeat!

I ask for prayers for my best friend, who at 14 weeks has had a miscarriage. She has been TTC for 2 years, has PCOS, and now is having to go through this. Please pray that God will give her the strength to try again and recover from her sad experience. Thank you all for being so uplifting and positive!

katythelady22 · January 2015

Thank you for posting this! How awesome that we can all share some of our worries and pray for each other. God is in control, he is a God of miracles and a God of healing and He loves each and every one of us. We are His daughters. I pray that He will be with each of us and send us the healing, comfort, patience, and peace that we need. We can trust that He will!! God Bless you all!!!

aahmcgee · January 2015

I could use some prayers! I suffered a very painful miscarriage in August of last year. I am 5w 5d and don't have an ultrasound for 2 more weeks. I am extremely paranoid! I can't imagine going through another loss. Some days I feel pregnant, others I dont.

avelara · January 2015

So sad help me pray for my family I'm 6 weeks I just find out that husband is cheating on me I two girls I feel so destroyed because it's not that fist time.

barrelocarol · January 2015

I just want to affirm and honor some amazing people.

Amanda, this board has sometime been filled with viciousness and you stepped out to do something that we all so desperately need - to be brought back to the connection of our God and to rest in His peace. I admire this so much and I'll bet others agree.

To every woman posting here - I'm amazed by the openness and vulnerability. That's what true life and community are about. I'm in awe of your stories and experiences and he strength you have to keep loving the child within, loving them so fiercely you desperately wish to meet them. I am in AWE...!

To the women who haven't posted negative and unnecessary things - Again, I find myself in awe that such a post is drawing such raw need and true support.

Random side note - being hormonal, everything is just a bit more awe inspiring than usual to me these days. I've already ached for my sisters here and cried, rejoicing that you all exist, out there. I don't know the rules for starting friendships outside of TB (and apologies if this is odd) but if anyone wants to private message me, I would love to be real life support.

Amanda, and all of you, again...THANK YOU for taking on the prayers of this group!!

tamlynd · January 2015

I love this post and that we can be open about our faith and pray for others xxx I am 7 weeks pregnant today and go for a scan on Tuesday (3 days time)praying for a healthy baby and a good strong heartbeat.xxx I went for a scan a week ago as I didn't know how far I was. I was 9 weeks since my last period then but after I miscarried at the end of August at 6 weeks, my cycles have been completely out and I didn't know how far I was at all. Xxx so 7 weeks today, feeling blessed to have made it past my last miscarriage 6 weeks date. I'm constantly praying for this precious baby to grow to be the best he or she can be and to be healthy. It was extremely hard losing my little Bai-Bee during my first pregnancy. You never expect things to go wrong and I had found out very very early. I had learnt to love my little one for 4 weeks and every decision I made I obviously thought about baby. I felt that i didn't really know how to be pregnant (what first time preggy woman does) and i was quite impatient and just wanted to know all was good. Xxx trying my best to be calm, patient and relaxed and so far I am letting my faith be bigger than my fears!!! My God is awesome and mighty and powerful and He knows my heart's desires. We weren't trying as such and weren't using protection in December and asked God for a baby to come in His time xxx feel so blessed to have fallen pregnant just 4 months after my loss. I know that many woman try and try and I really feel for them. I took time to heal and grieve first and went to councelling , i still go and made sure that my eyes remained on Jesus xxx praying for a calm, stress free and healthy pregnancy for all of us xxx all is in His hands and part of his perfect plan xxx prayer is powerful friends xxx believe and recieve in the Name of Jesus xxx

babybaker2015 · January 2015

I love this post!! I will be praying for everyone! I had a mc at 12 weeks then one at 6 weeks before I had a successful pregnancy with DS!:)I am almost 10 weeks with my new little love and I am just praying all goes well like last time. It is really hard to think happy thoughts all the time! I will feel so much better after the 12 week mark! I love that there are others out there going through the same things that I am!

dgriffith74 · January 2015

This is my first pregnancy and I'm 40. Please pray for a healthy little one. I've heard all the stories and they make me nervous. I need to just have faith and trust in God.

nattn · January 2015

This is such a sweet post! I tried to read through all the comments but got too emotional and couldn't make it through them all.

I would really appreciate some prayers myself. I have two DDs and I've had two miscarriages. Last night, DH and I got into a huge fight. I started cramping while we were arguing and started spotting shortly after. The spotting was gone this morning, but now it's back and getting heavier. I still considering it spotting, but every time I go to the bathroom, I just know it's going to turn into more. I'm also having significantly more cramping than what I normally feel when pregnant. I'm terrified of not only having another m/c, but that I will blame myself for it.

amandakaleen · January 2015

This is such a great topic. I love it. This is my first pregnancy. My step son has cri du chat, which is a genetic disorder that was passed from my husband. So we have a high chance of a miscarriage or a child with a disability. We have been praying about it and feel that God won't give us more than we can handle and am leaving it up to Him. We hope you will pray for us. I haven't been to the doctor yet, but think I am around 7 weeks and 4 days. Thank you. We greatly appreciate it!
