Tweepy, may Saint Anne and her holy Daughter be your comfort at this time, and always. As for the child, he needs no prayers. His soul is in the hands of the Lord, although he will not be able to spend eternity in God's blessed Presence. He shall be eternally happy, but only insofar as nature allows (versus supernatural happiness). I shall pray for you that you accept this cross from God in the manner He desires. Pray to Saint Anne, for she was barren for many years before conceiving our Lady. |

Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.– Buddha
Note: According to this precept, I find that Buddhism is NOT true. I have tested and judged many things, and the only Truth I have found is in God's One True Church: The Catholic Church.
Dear Lord, I know I can live by Your Holy Will every moment of my life, because You have given me faith that Your Grace will enable me to.

I want to thank everyone for their prayers for me and for the baby I lost this week. I thought I'd share with you that I had my D&C this morning. It was, naturally, a very sad day. However, I prayed for a compassionate doctor, nurses, and medical staff - and God was listening. Most of you know that I had another loss (and D&C) back in June. This time around the medical team was infinitely more compassionate, and this truly helped me to get through the sorrowful ordeal. Also, my husband and I prayed with our doctor BEFORE the procedure, and the doctor also prayed for our baby several times during & immediately after the D&C (when I was still out of it) - so this brought me great consolation. I was not blessed with this kind of a doctor back in June with my first loss, and I know that God was working through my doctor today - and I am grateful for that. I think that it is in our darkest moments that perhaps we can appreciate the most that with God we are never truly ALONE.
I hate to speak of it in such sad and clinical terms but my "products of conception" (as they refer to them medically) have been sent off to the lab for pathology testing. Please continue to pray that if it is God's will that we will be led to some valuable medical answers as to why I may be having these repeated losses. It was important to me to have a D&C so that we could try to have the tissue analyzed. I know that it will help me to move forward if we can gain some clues medically as to additional steps I might be able to take to increase the likelihood of having a happy, healthy, and successful pregnancy in the future. So please PRAY, PRAY, PRAY - and by all means, give your own children EXTRA hugs and kisses tonight and thank God for His many blessings.

I want to send continued prayers to Monique who is getting so close to her due date - Christmas Eve - and to thank everyone again for their continued prayers for my family following the loss of our second baby last week. It has been quite a year - my womb has been empty, then full, then empty, then full, and now empty again - and sadly, my arms have remained empty through it all. However, I continue to have HOPE that I will one day give birth to a healthy baby - and I know that this kind of hope ONLY comes from God. So I give thanks to God and put all my trust in His plans for me. I wish everyone on this Board a blessed Christmas and God's continued blessings in the new year.

I know that this might seem odd, but a few years ago a dear friend recommended this book to me, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause by John R. Lee, MD. I learned the most fascinating stuff in that book, and among them was of the recent increase in miscarriage that young women suffer. Because of estrogen mimickers in the environment, one of the hormones necessary to sustain a pregnancy is suppressed. The condition is called estrogen dominance. It is an easy to read book and I would recommend it to any woman who wants to be more informed about her body and the way it is or isn't working. I borrowed it from the local library, but I'll look for a link to insert above. Praying for you, Tweepy, and all the expectant mommies out there! |

TRAD UP!!! S.A.G. ~ Kathy ~ Sanguine-choleric. Have fun...or else. Adoramus te, Christe, et benedicimus tibi, quia per sanctam crucem tuam redemisti mundum. To listen to the hymn- http://fisheaters.com/forumpix/adoramustechriste.html"I am convinced that the crisis of the church which we are living through today was largely caused by the disintegration of the liturgy." - The former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger "Their cold stares remind me of the neo-cons that just sign up to FE - they are fish, but they are dead." ~ Marty |

Upon Kathy's suggestion I have ordered the book you recommended above. I tried to get it at the library but was unsuccessful so I bought it for half price on-line. I am just waiting to receive it now. Thank you for the recommendation. I pray that it may be a tool to help me to understand my body better and perhaps bring the healing that is needed in order to carry a successful pregnancy in the future. Thank you for your continued prayers. I will keep you posted. A blessed Christmas to one and all!

My daughter in law has asked for prayers for a friend who is 27 weeks pregnant with twins. She went into labor on Tuesday and her cervix is completely dilated. She is not having any contractions now and is in the hospital on antibiotics and steroids, trying to stay pregnant as long as possible. My daughter on law is also pregnant- their third. They found out it is a girl.  She is doing fine, surely in part due to the prayers of those who read this section of the oratory. Thank you.  |

I will keep your daughter-in-law's friend and her babies in my prayers. I happen to be a twin myself, we were born 5 weeks early without any problems. I pray that her precious twins will remain healthy in the womb until they are ready for a safe and healthy birth.

Pray to Saint Anne, for she was barren for many years before conceiving our Lady. The Church teaches that since we cannot know what happens to babies born before baptism, we must leave this up to God.....I tend to think that He would want these innocent little ones to be forever in His present...After all, the Lord, DID call the little ones to himself...even when they had been shooed away by the well-meaning disciples......Why would God NOT want to gather the little ones to Himself? |

Thank you, CL. I have faith that the two babies that I miscarried are with God and will be with Him eternally. They are pure and have known only love. I trust that I will be reunited with them when my own journey on this earth is complete. Please continue to keep my family in your prayers. We are about to face the due date of what would have been our first baby - Feb. 6th. My husband and I have planned a vacation to be together to honor this day of remembrance and to continue to heal from the loss of our two babies. (We leave for our trip tomorrow morning.) God is with us, and we know He is leading us to the fulfillment of His purposes for us - which we hope and pray includes healthy pregnancies and child rearing in the future. Thank Heaven for the the peace that God gives us!
