Miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy

I have joined mom meet mom. The story I just read on there made me want to write about my experiences with miscarriage. The woman that wrote the article actually encouraged  other women to share there stories. She said it will help other's that are going through something similar .

I have been a mom for five years with Colton and one with Waylon. Every day with my boys is a blessing.

I was surprised to find out I was pregnant with Colton. It was an unplanned blessing that made me the happiest mommy in the world. We tried 2 1/2 very long years to have a second child. Every month I would hope for that plus sign and felt a little disappointment. It seemed to grow and grow with each passing month.

It got to the point that my being upset about not being pregnant was interfering with me getting pregnant . I know other mom's understand what I am talking about. We had one ectopic pregnancy followed by two miscarriages. The ectopic pregnancy was when Colton was eleven months old. It was a difficult time for me.

I had to get a shot to terminate the pregnancy because it was in my tube and it could cause severe problems. I thank God that we caught it early enough that a shot of methotrexate was all that was needed and not surgery.

I went on for another year with no pregnancy . Early spring the following year we found out I was pregnant.
It was spring 2011. I was so excited . I went in for an eight week ultrasound that showed the baby measuring only six weeks and heart rate was very low. They told me it was a waiting game to see if I was on the wrong week or I was having a miscarriage. I cried for days . One week later it was confirmed that the baby did not have a heart beat and I was having a miscarriage. I cannot explain the pain I felt.

I picked up and kept pushing forward after a couple of months . I had to have surgery that July Like a D&C.

It was six more months until I found out I was pregnant again. That pregnancy only lasted a couple of weeks and miscarriage happened again. I almost gave up .

 When I found out about Waylon (April 2012) I was excited but tried to contain some of my excitement because I was scared of another miscarriage.

 A lot of women go through miscarriages and feel like giving up . I felt that way but the excitement of being a mom again was more powerful than me giving up . 

My faith grew stronger and I prayed daily for another miracle from God...


I know we want more children  and I know the challenge we could face. I also know we can get through it .
.

Once I  transferred over to the world's best doctor (in my opinion) and we started talking over the past and what happened we figured out some things .  

I  want other women to read this and find Hope if they are going through a miscarriage or have been through one... It is one of the hardest things you can ever experience .. You remember it forever.

 Here is one verse that helped me tremendously and it happens to be in Jeremiah  my husbands name.....

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11
