"So do not fear for I am with you; Do not be dismayed, for I am your GOD. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous hand." Isaiah 41:10
I have been exactly where you are Lily. I was hospitalized at 20 weeks pregnant with my son and had to stay until he was born at 39 weeks and 2 days. He was my Christmas Eve miracle born 22 and a half years ago. I was expierencing severe problems with my kidneys while I was pregant and the trauma of that kept causing me to go into pre-term labor. Back then, it was really difficult to help babies born before 34 weeks survive in the town I lived in and they did everything possible to stop labour each time and praise God it worked! This was by far, the hardest thing I have ever gone through in my life. I was so scared for my baby and scared I would not see him grow up because I was so sick.. I felt so alone and the days, weeks, and months in bed at the hospital felt like they went on forever. I remember thinking I would never make it through to his birth without losing my mind. But, like you, I held out hope and I put all my hope and trust in the Lord. I knew that my child was His child too and that God had a plan for him. I gave everything to Christ and although it was still hard at times, I knew that God would carry me through whatever lay before me. Praying for you and your sweet baby girl Lily, and trusting that God will uphold you both in his loving arms and keep you safe. 💗
Jennifer, thank you for this sweet & uplifting message. 20 weeks to 39 weeks is incredible, you are so strong. Stories like this give me hope and remind me I’m not alone & I too can do this. ❤ You definitely know exactly how I feel the thoughts and worries that come with having to be hospitalized for so long. I too feel unsure on how I will make it so long here in the hospital without going crazy. I’m trying to take it day by day. I’m leaning on God and I have strong faith that he will see me through this difficult time in my life.

Thank you so much, sending you love as well! This is such a tough situation to be in but ultimately we have to do whatever is going to give our babies the best chance. God be with you. It’ll all be worth it when we get to hold our baby.. that’s what I keep reminding myself of. 🙏🏼🩷
Praying for you I’m 30 weeks and almost had this contractions everything started the gave me medication and stopped it ! I’m so sorry your going thru this scary situation I’m praying for you and baby girl safe delivery mama
Are you also in the hospital? Did they give you magnesium to stop the contractions? Ugh, I totally know exactly how you are feeling girl. God is with you. Try to stay calm and just know that with everyday that your baby stays inside it’s a big accomplishment. Wishing you a safe rest of your pregnancy ❤
Oh, Lily!😢 I am so, so very sorry to hear this. I will pray hard for you and baby girl! I am so glad to hear that she is okay🙏🏼 Your words are beautiful, comforting and so, very true. God is with you and baby and even though this isn’t ideal and is so tough on you mentally, the timing of everything leading up to this scary discovery lead you two exactly where you needed to be to bring your precious creation into the world safely🙌🏼 Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need a lending ear. The time may seem slow in the situation you are in now, but baby girl will be here so soon and before you know it, after hospital stay, delivery and NICU stay, you and Dan will bring her home and it’ll all be worth the tribulation. She will without a doubt be the miracle you both needed and deserve in so many ways. Jesus never strays. Everything will be okay♥️🙏🏼
Thank you, Steph!! 🙏🏼🩷 I really appreciate you. It’s been a really difficult week for us both we both feel distraught but at our core we know God is in control & he will see us through this situation. I’m just grateful that the doctors keep telling me the baby is healthy & has a strong heart beat & overall progressing with every day. The goal at this point is just to keep her inside for as long as possible so she can develop as much as possible & should she come earlier then the NICU would take over. I can’t wait till the day I meet her, I feel all this will just be a distant memory and it won’t matter anymore when that day comes. Thank you for your encouragement & love 💗

Stories like this make me feel hopeful. I love that your experience had a happy ending. Praying for the same 🙏🏼 Miss you on here, hope you are well!!
