I don't know why women have been silent about this topic forever! After the birth of my first daughter, it took 3 years for me to become pregnant. Lots of testing, fertility drugs, monthly ups and downs, but I was thrilled when I finally became pregnant. And devastated when I had a miscarriage at three months along. Three years later I had my second daughter. I remember being concerned for the first trimester and being very careful with what I did and ate, but after that, I was just filled with joy. I know that God is in control and that His plan for my life is perfect for me - that gives me peace. He will never give me more to deal with then I can handle with Him. I also look at the difficult lessons I have had to learn and see that where I had sympathy before for others going through the same thing, I now have empathy (so much more powerful). I can reach out to another woman who has experienced a miscarriage, having walked that path myself, and hopefully bring comfort to her. Matthew 6:34 says "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." You are allowing your joy and peace to be stolen by "what ifs" and you know that is not God's will for you - He wants you to have peace and joy. Perhaps it would help you to build your own cross and write down your worries and cares and literally nail them to the cross, giving them to Him as you attach each one to the cross. I pray that God will pour out His blessings and peace upon you, comforting your hurting heart, calming your fears; reminding you that He loves you (and His love is sufficient for all), He is in control and He has a plan for your life that is good. Enjoy every kick and elbow...I miss that most of all and my youngest is now 27!<br />Farm Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01670652033638218941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7955556559266514067.post-3155820461613351312017-07-05T15:47:20.005-05:002017-07-05T15:47:20.005-05:00What a vulnerable post. Thank you for sharing your...What a vulnerable post. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience with pregnancy after infertility. I don't have kids nor have I started trying, yet, but as I move closer to starting a family with my husband, I am realizing that infertility is more common than we are led to believe. I pray that you will experience God's peace through this exciting time and trust that He has entrusted this little miracle to you and your husband.Virginiahttp://thisgeorgiapeach.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
