@Samigirl1991 I am so sorry to hear about your dad's cancer, I know that must be devastating for you. In my last pregnancy, I found out that my mother had cancer and it was so very challenging. I'm sure that the stress of not knowing where or when you may have a seizure adds to the tension. All of this can just pile up on you and become so overwhelming, but I want you to know that God is with you through every step of the way, He'll never leave you nor forsake you. Your in my prayers! God bless.
@Samigirl1991 You asked about your side, I would definitely ask my OBGYN about that, there is all sorts of changes going on with your body and it may be nothing at all, but it wont hurt to ask
I absolutely LOVE this! Thank you so much for your kindness and thoughtfulness.
Yes, I would really appreciate prayer for a healthy baby and for myself to be calm and still and have faith in God. I lost my last pregnancy and had to have a D&C so I still have so much fear and anxiety from that.
Thank you again for your kindness. You are a blessing!
@slvchair001Thank you so much for sharing with us about your precious son.I can only imagine the pain that you must have experienced through that, and yet the joy of knowing that your sweet angel is resting safely in the arms of God. Hearing about your 2.5 yr brings a smile to my face! I am praying that God will bless you with another spunky little one! I love this verse and wanted to share it with you, Jer.29:11 "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." God bless you!
@RoxyVen101 Congrats! I am definitely going to be praying for your apt Friday, hope to hear a great report of a strong heart beat Thanks for sharing your request with us
@katerpies I am praying that you have an awesome ultrasound Monday and are able to hear a nice strong heartbeat.Thanks so much for posting, so thankful for you guys and all the awesome responses, God bless you!
@buhba27 I am right there with you on being anxious sometimes with this pregnancy. It can be challenging to just rest in knowing that God is in control, a verse that really helps me is 1 Peter 5:7 "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." I'm praying for you and am so glad you shared your request with us.
@Pepper+1 Thanks for taking the time to leave such a sweet comment.I think we can use all of the hugs and prayers we can get.You made my day! God bless!
@babypiccolatte Thanks so much for sharing with us, praying that sinus infection gets better soon. I love that you shared with us that you were writing this post on your couch all wrapped up not too worried about your house, lol. I think too many times we do just the opposite trying to be Superwomen or even just be seen as one, but the truth is we are going through a difficult season of life and need to realize that we dont have to impose unrealistic goals to keep up with Ms Perfect next door, lol. We are so loved by God and so valuable to Him no matter what stage or season we are in life.May God richly bless you with a fantastic pregnancy
My thoughts and prayers go out to all you ladies! As for me, this my first pregnancy. My husband and I just moved into a new apartment in November because we were TTC and wanted a little more space. The old complex and this one are owned by the same company. Anyway, my husband is self employed and we were doing extremely well so we figured it was the perfect time to move. My husband had a huge deal that was supposed to go through at the end of the year, but the other guy dropped out at the last second and we lost a lot of money because of it. This happened two days after we got the BFP. Not where you wanna find yourself right when you find out you're pregnant. And today we just got something in the mail from our old apartment complex saying they are taking money out of our rent check for this apartment for damages that we didn't even make. I'm just so stressed and I know this can't be good for our LO. And I already know that my family isn't going to happy for us when we tell them we're having a baby, so to have to potentially tell them about our money problems too is really draining what's left of my sanity. Prayers are MUCH appreciated.
@chris1123 First of all, I salute you as a mother.You stepped up and took the harder path of love and compassion. Not everyone would be willing to go from 2 children of their own to 5. I think it is awesome and I believe God will bless you for that in fact He has, the Bible says in Psalm 127:3 "Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward." Those who would chide you saying that you have too many children already simply have no idea of what they are really saying.I mean can you imagine not having one of the children that you already have? This new baby will be the same way-a blessing. Psalm 139:13-14 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." I am so happy for you and appreciate you sharing your request with us.May God grant you an awesome pregnancy!
I could use a prayer as well. My first pregnancy ended in October at 12 weeks when I found out the baby had anencephaly ( the most fatal form of spinalbifida). I've been told it was a by chance thing that happened, but naturally I'm terrified his time around. I won't know until my 12 week ultrasound if everything is okay. Until then I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best.
@marissa4316 I am praying God will give you an awesome pregnancy. I am sorry to hear about the miscarriage you had previously, I know how difficult that is. It's hard not to worry after having one, but I want to encourage you to look to God for strength and peace. I love Isaiah 26:3,"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."
God bless you for your thread of praying for others. I have many prayer requests but I feel led to pray for you. I pray that you feel successful as a mother (because you are) and in every other area of your life! What you make happen for others God will make happen for you! Continue to let The Lord use u. God bless you.
@MrsPyrowiz I am so sorry to hear that you are going through this. You have a lot on your plate right now, and sound like you could use some encouragement. Some of the verses I find most encouraging are: Matt.19:26, "With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." Psalm 138:3, "In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul." 1Peter 5:7, " Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." You are in my prayerd, hang in there
@kteach33 Thank you for sharing with us, I am sorry to hear of your loss in October and will certainly be praying that your 12 week mark brings you some great news!God bless you!
I am,6 weeks and 3 days, I have 2 daughter's ages 15 and 20. My last 2 pregnancies miscarried at 8 weeks. For the past week I have had slight spotting. I had an ultrasound last week which showed a gestational sac and yolk sac no fetal pole yet and the Dr. Said that's normal. I will have a repeat scan next week I will be 8 weeks. I have been anxious about miscarrying and felt really down when the Dr. didn't see an embryo or a heart beat. It also doesn't help that I don't have a lot of symptoms. The scripture I cling to daily is Isaiah 43:18-19 "Forget the former things. Do not dwell on the past. I am doing a new thing and now it springs up. Do you not perceive it?" This scripture has definitely kept the low level thinking about my baby at baby. I meditate on this scripture several times a day and I encourage you to do the same especially if you have suffered a loss before. God knows your needs, and your circumstances, He gives life as He sees fit and gives us the desires of our hearts. I have peace now my little bean will be fine.
Thank you @AmandaluvsJames! My appointment went wonderfully. The ultrasound was perfect with the baby measuring 7 weeks and a heart rate of 137. Thanking the Lord and praying all continues to go well. I am praying for all your pregnancies, and I hope they all go smoothly.
I need prayer! I broke up with my bf two weeks before I found out I was pregnant because he was a lying cheat and was getting abusive. He wants me to have an abortion and I just can't do it. I'm a really busy person so slowing down is a challenge. I have a full time and part time job and I am completing a master's degree and I feel so overwhelmed. I recently caught a flu and I'm so sick and depressed I'm wondering if I should just end it.
rachelb51212 Yay! So happy to hear you had such an awesome appointment ! I told my hubby after hearing babies heartbeat that it would be so comforting to just have a way of hearing it all day, you know? Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait till the next appointment! Thanks for sharing the great news!
trinijenib You are most certainly in a difficult spot in your life right now. I remember putting college on hold and thinking wow did I do things in the right order here? But, I can not even begin to tell you how grateful I am that I had both of my boys when I did. I was able to complete college later on and graduated with honors. Having kids definitely brings challenges but the joy makes it so worth it. They are so precious each and everyone, when I talk to ladies that our considering ending their pregnancy I usually just ask one question, can you imagine if your mom would have ended her pregnancy with you? In two years, when you are celebrating the first birthday of your baby, I have no doubt that you will not have one regret in giving birth to him or her. Another option to consider is adoption, so many people try and try to get pregnant with no success and would adore the opportunity to be able to adopt your baby, but I think you are underestimating yourself, you can totally do this. Best wishes to you! Here are a few verses about babies that I adore: For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. Psalm 139:13-14, " 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." Jer. 1:5 " Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee..." God already has a great plan for your babies life! I wish you all the best!
pregat40 Thank you for sharing your request and the encouraging scripture! I will definitely be praying for you and for an excellent ultrasound with a nice strong heartbeat! God bless you on your pregnancy journey!
williegsocks I am so glad you posted your request, you will be in my prayers. I had a miscarriage 8 months ago and it totally took my by surprise as I had two healthy pregnancies prior to this.I too find myself feeling anxious and nervous at times as well, even after hearing the strong heart beat of my baby on ultrasound. Some verses that have helped me to relax are: Isaiah 26:3, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." and I Peter 5:7, " Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." God bless you!
Ultrasound update- Had my appointment today, so delighted to see A Beautiful and strong heartbeat of 152 BPM ❤ baby bun is looking perfect... one beautiful baby in there x I am so happy and feeling blessed xxx God has answered our prayers big time xxx thank you for keeping the 3 of us in your prayers xxx ❤❤❤ God is amazing x praying for all of you moms and your pregnancies. May you cast your fears to the Lord, all is in HIs hands Xxx
@tamlynd Yay! So glad to hear that your ultasound went well.Thanks so much for taking the time to share not just your prayer request, but answered prayer too!!! So excited for you!
I'm 6 weeks and 5 days along and last night I had some dark blood in my underwear and then a little bright red blood when I wiped a few times. Through the night I had light pink when wiping but only one brownish spot on my pad and today no spotting but a little brown discharge.
I went in to have blood work done and all my hormone levels and everything came back normal, thank God for that. But I will be having an ultrasound tomorrow or the next day depending when they fit me in. At this point it is just so hard not to freak out. I've been sick to my stomach all day and some diarrhea (from nerves and anxiety I'm guessing). I haven't noticed any real cramps. Maybe just mild ones that I usually have on and off. I'm trying to hard to stay positive but I also want to feel prepared for the worst... Any tips for me while waiting for my ultrasound -- or personal experiences that might help me? Prayers would be wonderful if you could squeeze my husband, little Sweet Pea, and I in. Thanks so much!!
@aylasoma Just said a prayer for you and will continue to! It is so hard to not freak out at the site of blood during pregnancy . I've had this experience go both ways, had blood with my first pregnancy but everything turned out perfect, blood with my third pregnancy and I miscarried, so it really can go either way. The best thing that you can do is take it easy, easy, easy and pray for that sweet little baby.I have been pretty nervous with this pregnancy and have found that reading verses that affirm the goodness and sovereignty of God to be so helpful in calming my anxious heart . A few that I love and claim are: Isaiah 26:3 "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." 1 Peter 5:7," Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." Pr.3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." I am praying that you'll have a great ultrasound and hear a nice strong heartbeat! God bless you!
I would greatly appreciate it if you could please pray for me, my husband and our little dumpling. This is my second pregnancy. My first one resulted in a still birth. And we are very scared and nervous at the moment. I just found out that I was pregnant January 24th. And we are trying to wait patiently to see our doctor for the first time February 9th. We already know that we are going to be labeled high risk and I may be put on bed rest very early in my pregnancy.
I'm doing everything that I can to help our chances. I am willing to quit my stressful job. I take my vitamins everyday. I talk to our little dumpling multiple times a day and massage my tummy. I try to take relaxation breaks three times a day. And I eat 90% healthy; Raw veggies and fruit with every meal, one glass of milk a day, and I stay away from caffeine, sweets, and etc.
We have faith but my friends and members of our family do not. And any advice or encouragement you have to offer is appreciated. And I thank you very much in advance for it as well. I hope that you have a great day or night.
Baby Olivia Born October 28, 2015 Baby Pumpkin Due July 17, 2017
This mama needs prayers . On Sunday I had a bleed . Passedmany large clots. I was certain we lost the baby . Fortunately , the next day baby was still there with a healthy heart.
However, The doctor found me to have a subchronic hemmorrage which could still cause me to miscarry . Needing lots of love and more importantly prayers that my body corrects the issue and I can move forward with a healthy pregnancy
Praying for all you ladies. I do have a prayer request as well. I found out that I was pregnant on 1/20 after getting blood work done. I had 2 negative home pregnancy tests but I just had this gut feeling and my period was 2 weeks late (never happens). So, according to my LMP I was about 7 weeks along so my doctor made an appointment for my first prenatal appointment the following day. During the appointment an ultrasound was performed but there was no baby. I was told I had either had a miscarriage or I was a lot earlier than we thought. My doctor ordered blood work to watch my Hcg levels. In 48 hours my hcg level went from 216 to 479 which is a good sign. The doctor told me that I was about 4/5 weeks along putting me at around 6 weeks now. I went in to get some more blood work done but was not told anything about my hcg levels, just other typical blood work stuff (rubella, boodtype, etc). I have my next prenatal appointment on 2/11 and I am very nervous. My husband tells me I don't need to be worried because of the hcg level increase but this is my first pregnancy and I can't help but worry I am going to see an empty ultrasound screen again. I also have barely any symptoms, just semi-sore boobs and elevated emotions (then again, I am always a somewhat emotional person). The wait is killing me. I just need to see my baby to stop worrying.
Prayers are appreciated. I keep praying for not only a healthy baby but also for God to give me patience and to settle my worries. I am trying to give everything to God but I am struggling.
@Knottie22668383 You are definitely in my prayers, I can't begin to imagine the pain of having a still birth, I am so sorry for your loss. While I am sure you are super excited about being pregnant again, no doubt you must be apprehensive. I will be praying that God will bless you in this pregnancy and protect you and your precious baby. My heart often begins to race with thoughts of what if this happens or what of that happens, but then I rememind myself that this like everything else in our lives is in God's hands and I have to trust that unseen hand. We know God's there, but it's hard to not physically see His comforting arms wrapped around us, or His hands wiping our tears, but He is there all the time.He never leaves us nor forsakes us.I find that His presence is never so near as when I am reading His words of comfort from the Bible, some of my favorites are Isaiah 26:3 , "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." Psalm 62:5-8 " My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us." 1 Peter 5:7, "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." God bless you in your pregnancy and know that you are being prayed for
@keehank1 That would be so scary! I was so relieved and thankful to read that your ultrasound and babies heart beat were well. That's certainly a blessing and you can bet that I'll be praying for your health and of course your babies health. I've heard many women with this issue say that they were able to go on to have healthy pregnancies and I am praying that you will be one of them! A personal friend of mine that has suffered with this has had three healthy pregnancy, hope this encourages you! God bless
@Sbrouwer0706 First of all congrats on being a first time mom! I will certainly be praying for you and that you will get to see a nice healthy heart beat at your ultasound appt. Waiting between appointments is one of the toughest aspects of pregnancy for me, even more so when you get a scare of not knowing how far you are and if the heart beat should be showing and so forth. I definitely wouldn't worry about the lack of symptoms. I have 2 babies and I can tell you each pregnancy with them was different and this one is too. With the 2nd one I hardly knew I was pregnant so to speak, no soreness or anything. This time around I live in my bathroom (enough said So the fact that your symptoms may not be as intense as you would think they should be would not cause me to be too worried I am looking forward to hearing that you had an awesome ultrasound. Until then I pray these verses will help calm your heart as they do mine: :Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." 1 Peter 5:7 "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." Isaiah 26:3 "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." Psalm 139:13-14. God bless you and your pregnancy
I could use some prayers. I am currently 7w 3d and my ultrasound is tomorrow. I suffered a miscarriage about 2 years ago and was recently put on clomid and it worked the 4th month. My husband and I have been trying for almost 4-5 years so I am really nervous about tomorrow. Praying that our little bean looks good with a strong heartbeat. Thank you for any prayers/blessings
Re: Any mama's needing prayer for their pregnancy or any other issue?
Yes, I would really appreciate prayer for a healthy baby and for myself to be calm and still and have faith in God. I lost my last pregnancy and had to have a D&C so I still have so much fear and anxiety from that.
Thank you again for your kindness. You are a blessing!
I could use a prayer as well. My first pregnancy ended in October at 12 weeks when I found out the baby had anencephaly ( the most fatal form of spinalbifida). I've been told it was a by chance thing that happened, but naturally I'm terrified his time around. I won't know until my 12 week ultrasound if everything is okay. Until then I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best.
Please send some prayers my way.
Thanks for starting this
