Please pray for me and my family. We have been facing some financial difficulties. My husband and I have 4 children and have been struggling to pay bills. I also recently found out last month that I am pregnant again. I went to the Dr yesterday for an ultrasound and they were unable to see the baby, just an empty sac. They told me I have a blighted ovum. I was given the choices of either having blood work done, twice over a 48 hour period to check my pregnancy hormone levels to see if they double in that 48 hour time frame and then another ultrasound on Monday. Or I could go ahead and take a medication to cause a miscarriage or schedule a D&C which is where they go in and clean out my womb. I chose to do the bloodwork and have another ultrasound. I have lost 2 pregnancies before, one in 2007 at 5 weeks and another in 2009 at 9 weeks. They were both natural miscarriages that happened at home. This pregnancy was a surprise for us. I am 35 and my husband is 36 and we had no plans to have anymore children. We are happy with the 4 children that we have been blessed with. But, I realize that it doesn't matter what our plans are in life, because God has his own plan for all of us. Even though this pregnancy wasn't planned by us and it came at a stressful time in our life, I still want it so badly. I don't always understand the reason for everything that happens, but I know that God does have a reason. I pray that the Dr is wrong and that there is still a precious baby alive and well inside of me. Losing a pregnancy is so emotionally painful and I have been through that twice already. Please pray for us that God will take care of us and that I will make the right decisions regarding this pregnancy. If the Dr is wrong, I pray that God will reveal that to us so that we don't make a mistake by making a decision to do something to medically clean out my womb, thus ending an innocent life unknowingly.
