Could whoever is reading this just take a moment and pray for me, my unborn child and my fiancé. I’m currently 29 weeks pregnant, 30 tomorrow. I go to doctors office twice every week because my baby is growing slowly and has since roughly around 20 weeks I’d say. They assumed it was genetics due to my size and the fathers, but at my last appointment the doctor was beginning to see blood restriction due to the placenta. I might have to have an early labor which is something I really do not want to do. On Tuesday I get the shot to help boost his respiratory system for in case we do have to deliver him early. I’m 17 and honestly SO terrified. I haven’t told anyone this because I feel kinda ashamed. I don’t feel like a good enough host body. Like I can’t grow my baby like I should. I majorly blame myself, I know I shouldn’t because I’ve done everything I was told to do. But I have to blame myself when there is no one else to blame.. I’m still so worried about everything.

Please pray that my baby starts growing on track. Please pray that I don’t have to go into labor early and things will start to go the way they should. 3 weeks ago he was only 1lb 6oz, when I went in for appointment Wednesday she said he’s only grown 11 oz since the last visit. He hasn’t even reached 3 pounds like most children do at this stage in pregnancy. I just really need support and hope and I’m usually not one to plea for prayers but I need something a lot stronger than myself, which is faith.

I’m going to get protein shakes, hoping that’ll help some. If you have any tips or have been through something similar please share and let me know! I’ll take any advice or suggestions I can. This is my first child, plus I’m very young. So anything is a blessing!
