Worried - Shafter,CA

Yes-I will pray for you and your baby-good for you to stay away from drugs-they will wholly or in part, destroy your life.

Father of Life,

We thank you for the expectant mother who carries this growing hope in her life and into our world. Bless her and the living promise of this child and help her to manage the mix of joys, fears and anxieties she may have about the time ahead.

As she watches her body change, may she grow in your own loving kindness and compassion. Let her be inspired by Mary and Joseph who model a loving family life and give her the courage to guide her children in a faith-filled life.

Be with her in her gladness these days and deepen her faith, so that labor might be a time of strength and prayer. Guard the health of her baby and give her the peace of mind that may so often seem elusive in this time.

With your grace, she will be ready for the end of this expectant time and ready to take on the joys and challenges of parenthood.

May she praise you with Mary:
“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord and my spirit exalts in God my savior.”

Get serious about your drug habits. Prescription drugs can be just as damaging to a new fetus as street drugs.

The body expels a problem fetus because it's trying to do what's best. If you have a miscarriage, chances are that it wouldn't have been viable. Better now than later in your pregnancy.

Get serious about your life, K.. Clean up your body by stopping usage of drugs, not drinking much alcohol, eating healthy foods, getting moderate exercise. Give your body time to heal and get healthy, and then a pregnancy will have a chance of being healthy and successful. If you can't do this without help, GET HELP. You can do it!

Dawn

I remember waking up with my first pregnancy and having no symptoms after a week or so of being sick as a dog. I was concerned too that maybe I was having a miscarriage, but the next morning, I woke up again with the sickness. It's best not to borrow trouble. Just do everything you can from this point on to take care of your baby.

Thank u ladies. I appreciate it all :) I feel better now. I am a natural worry wart. And I fell in love with this lil seed already so I am paranoid, when I was using drugs they weren't heavy I mean weed xanax and ocassioknal alcohol and cigs.
