Walking by Faith

One month later!!

So, I had an appointment to return to my OBGYN, to check on the baby 's development. Well, on that day I received some good news. The baby was growing and everything looked good.

For the next three months, my visits went well. I had no morning sickness, I felt great and tried by best to remain stress free. Then suddenly in the fourth month while having blood work done, I was asked if I wanted to know the sex of the baby, which I agreed to checked.

Well, that agreement got me to another whole department of the clinic, as I was told that due to my age, as I was approaching 40, I was considered high risk. This was because after two tries, they couldn't determine the sex of the baby.

I now had to visit my OBGYN every two weeks instead of monthly, and there was a specific doctor that I needed to see moving forward.

At month four, I was learning about chromosomes, Trisomies and possible genitic diseases that could possibly affect the baby and that I needed to discuss with my husband about terminating the pregnancy. You could imagine the frustration, but I'll tell you, I held on to the prophecy, my faith, and the word of God.

Fear did not get the best of me one time, my focus was to protect my baby. Everytime I was supposed to visit for a check up, I'd pray and speak to my baby. All the test would come back negative, no sign of any birth defects.

And that my health was more of the focus than the baby's then two weeks after, I was told that the baby's birth weight had jumped to such a higher level than expected. I had a sit down with my doctor and let her know, either way this baby is coming into the world, and that she's mine and I'll love her inspite of.
