I lost my faith
Being Pregnant at 18 was already a struggle but I believed God was blessing me with something I always dreamed of then.. At a 4D ultrasound at 16 weeks pregnant I learned My Baby was a Beautiful Girl but she also Had Non immune fetal hydrops. Something that is very rare in the United States. The doctors couldn't find the cause for it I did every test known to man and it all came back negative. The doctors believed it was a "Fluke". At 22 weeks pregnant the doctor informed us Our Baby wouldn't live outside the womb and if she did she'd need heart surgeries her whole life and she would never be able to walk. They then advised I go get a abortion. At 22 weeks a fetus is viable which meant I felt her movements and she had a heartburn. Knowing My first child probably wouldn't make it at birth I never thought of getting a abortion I chose to Fight until I couldn't anymore. Who am I to choose whether something so precious God Blessed me with lives or dies? Throughout the pregnancy there was a chance her heart could have stopped at any moment but it didn't .. During a routine prenatal visit I had learned that due to my daughter's sickness my organs shut down and I was going to have to have an emergency c-section that very day in order to save my life. My daughter was 29w6days. She was delivered April 21st 2016 at 30weeks once they cut her cord she couldn't breathe on her own due to her sickness.. But she tried for 25minutes . I never heard her cry or seen her move.. In the operating room the doctors advised me they can keep her on the machine but she'd be brain dead I then decided she didn't have to fight anymore. During the whole process I had a calming spirit over me and I look back and realize it was God that kept me together through it all. My daughter was due June 28th 2016 two days before my 19th birthday I spent my birthday at her gravesite. The doctors could never tell me if I had another baby can it happen again they said it was still a chance. Everyone around me begin to have children and I felt I no longer had a purpose on this earth anymore. I went through depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts. I even tried numbing the internal pain. But then I found God again and realized everything happens for a reason. October of 2016 I found out I was pregnant again due June 21st 2017 and thats when the spiritual battle started I prayed/pray every night for my child's health and by the grace of God he answered. We will be bringing a Healthy prince into the world in less then 2 months!!! God is a healer and a miracle worker. The doors he opens no man can shut.
