well depending on what your activities consisted of the night before, if you had eaten something bad, or if you have the flu…Yes but if you think you are preg take a test 🙂

Hey carlie…congratulations on your little bundle 🙂 I am praying for you that the Lord will give you a good focal point during your labor to keep you distracted form the what if’s. And I am praying that He would keep you and your little girl safley tucked away in the shadow of His wings. I have had 2 babies (now almost 5 and 2 1/2) I had some fears just like you do and I think its normal to worry about something going wrong. My daughter was born with her cord wrapped twice around her neck. The doctor had it undone so quickly that I didnt have time to freak out. She turned out just fine. My son was a blue baby and sometimes I still worry about him when he gets sick because I have heard that blue babies have more resperatory problems than most. Medical science is so advanced nowadays that they can take care of almost anything that happens. Make sure that if you have group b strep that you watch for signs in your baby, my son ended up with it and I didnt even know he was sick. Some of the symptoms are….not eating alot, being lethargic, and spitting up (not like a full vomit but the feeding basically just coming right back out). I hope this info would give you wisdom and comfort. The only One who can relieve our fears and give us peace is Jesus 🙂 ps. right now because you are still preg the second hand smoke will only affect you not the baby….when the baby is born if your bf holds her smelling like smoke it will affect her. Make sure that no matter what happens you choose your baby over a man. If he is not willing to go to the extremes to keep her healthy, and do faithfully stay by you (if he is going to he should marry you) then he is not worth having someone to hold. I had to learn the hard way twice. I now am married to a wonderful man who has never smoked or drank a day in his life and he is not the father of either one of my kids (he is a great daddy to them though) so dont sell yourself short. Make sure that you choose a good daddy for your little girl, I will be praying for you. (please dont think I am judging your bf just because he smokes doesnt mean he wont make a good daddy I am just stating facts about health issues, my sons dad smokes and we have a hard time letting him go with him because of it) let us all know how your birth goes 🙂 Meg

Yes you should use a test…. most home pregnancy tests are pretty acurate these days but use a brand name if you are looking for the best accuracy available…also you can go to the doctor and get a blood test done they are the most acurate. If finances or medical are an issue try looking for a pregnancy recourse center or a caring pregnancy center…most even have ultrasounds now and they are free 🙂

Hey sweetie from the sounds of things you have too much going on with your body to be sure of anything. If you cant handle not having sex you should at least be on birth control but if I could remain abstinent after 10 yrs of sexual activity then I know you can. I would go to your doctor and get bloodwork. After having a baby you really need to let your body get back to normal before you start having sex. Also while breastfeeding your periods can be really messed up. Please slow down and adjust to being a mommy and if your boyfriend (I assume father of your baby, I went through 2 pregnancies alone) really loves you then he will respect your body give you space to adjust and marry you if he wants to stick around. If he wont marry you then you shouldnt be having sex with him…..Love and Prayers Meg

Well walking is good because it helps your body prepare for birth and keeps your heart in good shape (dont over do it though) I cant give you the best advice on a nutrisious diet but Im sure your doctor can. Make sure you drink lots of water and take your prenatals 🙂 have a great pregnancy and keep us all informed of how you are doing 🙂 Meg

My son was eating solid foods like chicken and cherios before he had a single tooth!!!! Just make sure you are right there with them and be responsible….some babies need more in their tummys than other babies and sometimes doctors and WIC counselors tell you not to do certain things too soon but it is more important to listen to your baby. They cant talk but they let you know what they need if you pay close enough attention…..Meg

Lord Jesus, I just want to lift up this little life to you right now…..You know why he is sick and You know whether or not You will heal him..I pray that You would just reach down and touch his little body right now and that if it would be Your will to heal him that this sickness would leave his body this moment…Lord sometimes You allow us to go through pain and loss to build us up and prepare us for what will come at us later in life so I pray that if its Your will to take this baby home to be with You that You would make every moment special with him and his mommy while he is still here….I pray that You would prepare this mommy to accept whatever happens and that You would give her a double portion of Your strength…grace….and mercy. Lord I want to lift up all of the other cares and concerns involved with this situation….medical bills, the father, treatment options, and other everyday expenses in this families life. I pray that You would give all the doctors wisdom and discernment and guide their hands as they interact with this baby. Lord we committ all of this into Your hands and ask above all that Your will would be done in these lives and that You would be praised no matter what the outcome is……I pray all of these things in Jesus name….and if anyone else agrees join me in saying ….AMEN Let us know how things turn out………Meg

Well??????? We havent heard yet…..Yes or No????

If indeed you did have sex on your most fertile day and you did concieve you are probably still in the process of conception….I think it takes like 2 weeks….just wait and take a test…Meg

I am sorry that you are in the midst of pain and an emotional battle. There are a few things I agree with from the other comments but I would like to add to them and refine them. Abortion is wrong for so many reasons you know that obviously because you are in the spot you are in. I am not going to drill you and shove it down your throat…thats not what you need. What you need is truth just like all of us. I am sure that you will end up conceiving again. Most women can after abortion. My concern for you is that you are letting the pain and regret from your decision lead you to believe a lie. One woman commented "pray and it shall be answered" I believe whole heartedley that God answers prays…every single one. Sometimes He says yes sometimes no and sometimes not right now. I know from my own personal experience that God is not going to "bless" things that dont honor Him. He declares in His word that sex outside of marriage is not what He wills for us nor is it pleasing to Him. So to pray "Dear God me and my boyfriend want a baby…would you please bless us with a child even though we are living in sin and rebeling against what Your best is for us???" is a very ignorant thing to do. I spent 10 yrs being sexually active and I had 2 kids from 2 dads outside of marriage, so dont think I am some "churchy girl" who doesnt understand what it is like to live in the world of sexual imorality. I know very well what that life leads to…Death!!! You have already experienced that. The death of a baby because things were not done in the order that God ordained them to be done in. I really do feel your hurt my sister has had 3 abortions and she has shared her greif with me. I hope that you will hear my words. I made the choice to be abstinent untill marriage when I found out I was pregnant with my second. 3 1/2 years went by untill I got married and I had sex with my husband for the first time on our wedding night. I have never experienced such fredom and blessing in a relationship. God loves to bless people who desire to do it His way. We all fall short of His grace…we all stumble…but if we are saved by the blood of Jesus then we are forgiven and are mercies are renewed every morning. I hope that you would take the right steps to get on a path that would please the Lord. Please get married before you have a baby…everyone involved (especially that baby) will be so blessed. I always say that with the life I was living I deserved AIDS but God in His grace gave me children instead. God does bless us inspite of who we are even when we are in sin, and I think He gave me kids instead of AIDS because He knew that I would turn from my sin and praise Him. So I hope and pray that you are prepared for the reprocussions that could stem from the choices you make from here on out regarding sex before marriage. I hope and pray the you would let the Lord heal your broken heart and that He would restore to you the life and joy that was taken from you. If you have any questions about why I feel the way I do or what my life used to be like just post a note on my page…Today is the day to make new choices..Meg

For both of my pregnancies I was on OHP (Oregon state medical) and they paid every dime. I know that different states have different health plans and I dont know the coverage that you have. When I was 14 I went to the hospital and after billing me over and over again they wrote it off and I was forgiven that debt. It also happened again when I was 16. That was up in Washington. Here in Oregon My daughter fell and broke her collar bone and we didnt have medical at the time so they set up a payment plan with me and I only paid 20.00 a month. When I lost my job I was completely broke and I filled out the paper work to have it written off and I sent in a note explaining my circumstances. They forgave that debt and I was very thankful. If you get stuck with a big bill and all you can afford is like 10 or 20 a month the hospital will usually work with you if you just communicate with them…..I hope that your medical will cover your expenses so that you have one less thing to stress over :)….Meg

Are you talking about natural tanning in the sunshine or tanning in a booth???? I have heard that tanning booths are bad for you when you are preg and even if you tan in the sunshine some women get blotchy spots all over because of the hormone change that occurs with pregnany. Try to take the best care of your body and your skin right now. If you get cuts and scrapes while pregnant it will turn to a scar easier because your baby is sucking all the nutrients from your body. I think the same thing about tanning. If you get all blotchy while you are pregnant your skin may not get back to normal afterwards……Hope that helped…Meg
