Big Scare, Bigger God

I went to the ER at Baptist Women's Friday of last week. I was bleeding and this is not what pregnant women are supposed to do. It began to worry me on Thursday. I would go to the restroom and see more and more blood. I called my Ob's office. They told me to go on bed rest for the weekend, take Tylenol and warm baths. I tried that Thursday night and went to bed. Fred had already decided if I was not feeling better in the morning that he would take me to the Women's hospital. Well, I kept bleeding and then the cramping came as well. I was a nervous wreck. Fred and I got up early the next morning took Bug to daycare and headed to the hospital. Luckily, I had been listening to Joyce Meyer's "Me and My big mouth" all week. I began to pay close attention to my words. I called all of my friends and asked them to pray for me during this tough time.
I began to pray. Even though I had faith in God, I was still upset and I didn't want to lose my baby. I began to cry. Once we got checked in, the nurse was very supportive and talked me through my fears, she explained that bleeding is not always the sign of miscarriage. I was still afraid, I never had any symptoms like these with my first pregnancy. We were sent to the ultrasound specialist who took pictures of the baby. He or she was moving and looking strong. The heart sounded great, but something looked "funny". I asked the tech what I saw and she said she didn't know.
After four hours of waiting, my physician finally called and stated that I had a low lying placenta that covered my cervix. This condition is called Placenta previa. She assured me that most of the time as the baby grows he/she will push the placenta away from the cervix and I should have a normal pregnancy and delivery. They sent me home.
Because babies are from God and God supports life, I went to my Supernatural Birth book that I bought with my last pregnancy and began to read the scriptures that support a healthy baby, birth and conception prayed and read these scriptures and asked God to stop the bleeding. I don't know how long it is supposed to take for the bleeding to stop, but here it is Sunday and that was just a few days ago and my bleeding has completely stopped. Praise God! My God is Bigger that my Big Scare. I will continue to have a healthy baby and healthy pregnancy and delivery.
Here are the scriptures that I have been and will continue to read over my baby. Maybe they will be a blessing to you to world:
Exodus 23:25-26
Deuteronomy 7:13
Malachi 3:10,11
Luke 1:41
Genesis 25:23
Psalm 139:13
Isaiah 44:2
Galatians 1:15
Jeremiah 1:5
There are tons more, but these can get you started. If you would like the book I am reading everyday, it is called Supernatural Childbirth by Jackie Mize.
I'll write later world.
