Subject: Re: unplanned Author: Pat [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 01/ 5/10 7:30pm In reply to: Beth, 's message, "Re: unplanned" on 01/ 5/10 2:28pm Hi, Beth, I am so sorry for how things turned out for you. I will pray that God will comfort you. Please know that your baby is in heaven, and is happy. The hardest part is missing your loved one. Make sure to be very close to God so that you can join your baby someday. I have a baby in heaven, too. From what you're describing, the doctor was unnecessarily cruel. I am also very sorry about that. He shouldn't have forced open the cervix like that, but should have waited because it would soften of its own accord. Whenever you have another pregnancy, be sure and tell the doctor about this so that he can safeguard your future baby. He can fasten your cervix shut if necessary. We will very much welcome you staying, and we will talk to you and comfort you whenever we can. I realize that it will be difficult for you to accept our words of comfort, but please know we do care and we love you very much. That's why we are here. You are very, very welcome. Do whatever you need to do. You can also go to a pregnancy agency that works with women who have experienced untimely pregnancy, and they can help you with counseling. Emotional and spiritual healing is possible. Please know that God loves you very much. Hugs, Pat [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

I read Pat's post and echo her thoughts. Also, I hope you're able to carve out some space to take good care of yourself. Get as much rest as you can and take some good vitamins/high iron to make up for the blood loss. God holds all things, and does work them for good - even when we finite creatures can see the master plan's value in the up close at times. I was touched by the last few sentences of your post. May God guard this softness in you and use it to bless others. With Kindness, Heather [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
