I was told in June 2005 that we couldn't have children after being on fertility for 4 years. That was so hard to accept but we knew our Lord could heal me if it was His will. In Sept. 2005 we found our we were pregnant. I had such a blessed pregnancy and we have a beautiful preciouse little boy - the joy of our lives! God is awesome. I got pregnant again (didn't know it at the time though) on August 10, 2007 I had a miscarriage. It was an experience that I don't want to go through again. I didn't understand why it happened. But with God's grace and mercy I am learning so much. I didn't get alot of support from family and friends during that time and that hurt so much. So I am healing physically really well but emotionally I am still trying to recover from the miscarriage and hurt I feel. I believe there are certain things in our lives to help us become stronger in the Lord and He is showing and working so much in my life right now. Thanks for writing this - I have hope now ! God Bless

As a Christian doula and childbirth educator, I have attended and ministered to those who have suffered pregnancy loss. While God is sovereign, everyone asks "Why?" I believe we won't have an answer until we reach Heaven. In the meantime, I have observed there is a HUGE void in the church in the way of Christian childbirth education and ministry. There are multiple ministries for crisis pregnancies, post-abortion trauma, adoption, parenting, but NONE for prenatal classes, labour support, or ministering to bereaved parents who have suffered a loss during their pregnancy. I am praying for God to open doors and I am thankful to the author and the others for sharing their stories of pain and loss. May the Lord bless each and every one of you with His peace that passes all understanding, and may you grow in faith while enduring emotional pain most of us will never know.

Just want the author to know that I completely understand how she feels. I had two miscarriages after delivering my first child, my daughter, with no complications. I wanted another child so badly and pleaded with God for the lives of the two little ones I conceived after her, but lost them both. It was devastating and I felt that few people understood. I finally did get pregnant again and gave birth to my son last March. I love my children, the two I hold and the two I don't. I don't know why God allows miscarriages to happen, and I have no easy answers, only a sympathic ear and a heart that understands. My prayer is with you that He will give you the desire of your heart.
