Praying for you! <br /><br />And I wish I had answers to the questions you put out there. I don't.

You are so brave to be willing to wait for the good labor and good delivery, because yes, that would be so wonderful. Acupuncture worked for me for flipping Nathaniel.

Sounds perfectly rational to me. Old man survives his heart issues while a little baby dies. It's completely unfair.<br /><br />Maybe Eva's main purpose in life was to just to be your baby, to be loved enormously by her family and to love them back. And this purpose was certainly fulfilled. Whether or not there was a grand-scheme-of-things purpose for her, you wouldn't have loved her any more or less.<br /><br />I'm so sorry for the unexpected turn in your pregnancy. I really hope that stubborn baby turns for you. However, I think that if you end up having a less than perfect birth but get a perfect living baby out of it, it won't matter to you as much after the fact as it does now. And if a c-section happens it probably won't be as bad as you fear. But I most certainly understand your strong desire for a natural birth. I hope all goes well for you and baby.<br />TShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06535861927596022108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76554524397208747.post-37694295133379375642013-04-09T07:40:47.128-07:002013-04-09T07:40:47.128-07:00praying, praying, prayingpraying, praying, prayingBeccyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07063220741169180825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76554524397208747.post-69278298981151851432013-04-09T05:33:11.962-07:002013-04-09T05:33:11.962-07:00Em, I had these same feelings at Easter.

I immediately felt bitter and jealous. I prayed so hard for a miracle to happen with my daughter and didn't get it yet God saves an old woman?!? In my worldly, grieving mind, I felt cheated by God. And then felt guilty for feeling like that. It doesn't make sense. And I will question this until I get to heaven myself and get to see Avery again. <br /><br />Praying your little one turns around so you have a great delivery.

I think sometimes until one has gone through a similar circumstance that they really don't know how to act around someone who is going through a trial that they are unfamiliar with. Coupled with the fact that years ago if a woman had a baby who died, the community as a whole really didn't talk about it, even less than we are able to do today with the dawn of the internet, blogs, fb, and just more acceptance in general than years ago. That is not to say that people are comfortable with bringing up such a huge loss to the person/persons affected. <br /><br />When there is a happy ending it is much easier to approach the person to ask them how they made it through spiritually, but I think that people are more apt to give us that are grieving "room" to grieve by not bringing it up. By bringing it up they might make us sad they might think. They might, but it makes our hearts happy to know that someone remembers our beloved child. <br /><br />I think that God has allowed some of us to lose our children for reasons we will never know, but I know that one of the reasons might be that we can know what others are going through and we can reach out to them. If you are feeling upset about what happened when a person that received a miracle was asked about his situation, than there are others out there who are asking the same thing...Where is my miracle? <br /><br />Even the man who experienced the miracle will die someday and all of us need to know that even though these days are dark and long sometimes, that we will make it through by the strength of God almighty, not on our own strength. <br /><br />I think it puts us in a good position to be a kind voice for the community at large and for others who are grieving and hurting and a shoulder to cry on. <br /><br />I had a baby who turned constantly (my son Nate) and even up until the day that he was born (I think he was over 40 weeks gestation) he was turning. They were able to do an external version and he was born sometime later that day. <br /><br />I took comfort in knowing that the doctors knew that if he became distressed that they had a c-section room set up for that kind of emergency. That was before I had lost a child though and I, like you, would be more concerned after losing a child...although the doctors are still as competent. <br /><br />Prayers for you for a wonderful safe delivery, whatever way the baby ends up needing to be born. <br /><br />With Hope and love,<br />CherylCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995656964857816898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76554524397208747.post-46918352232037829212013-04-08T23:22:35.732-07:002013-04-08T23:22:35.732-07:00You are in my thoughts xxYou are in my thoughts xxsallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03609439637500935636noreply@blogger.com
