I have felt my Father's love many times. I have also felt the Savior's comfort and it has been what has ultimately sustained me. Your story was interesting, as it paralleled one of mine. I carried a sac long after one of my angels, Daniel Lee, was gone. I had been having very light and strange periods for a few months, and though I felt pregnant, hpts were coming back neg. So I just went on, not letting myself get attached, I knew though, I always have. Finally I let my heart get involved.

When I got a pos test, I went to the doc. Since my periods had been weird, they sent me in for testing. The u/s showed no heartbeat and a sack about half the size I knew the baby should have been. The doc brought up the possibility of D and C. I baulked, I had just accepted this little thing into my heart, he had to be there.

After several weeks and at least 4 u/s I prayed to the Lord to let me know what to do, and give me the strength to make the decision to do the D and C. I have a health condition that made it risky to wait anymore. After the last u/s, we scheduled the procedure, and a sense of peace came over me. I had made that difficult decision. I knew this procedure is similar to what they do for an abortion. My mother and aunt had both gone through D and C and their experiences haunted me, but I had made the decision, despite my aversion. I miscarried naturally 3 days before the D and C was sceduled. I had carried that sac for 20 weeks. I felt it was important that I worked that all out, but the Lord spared me actually going through with it.

I have felt the Lord's hand throughout my entire life. He has let me know the tough experiences I've had to go through were to help me grow and bring me closer to him. I guess I'm just impatient and want everything spelling out in black and white, but that path brings no growth.

Thank you again for your uplifting thoughts.

I trudged out in all the ice, slid almost into a bush, and they were closed. :-(

I did make another appointment tomorrow at 10:30am, so, I try again. I'll update then.
