Try to keep my mind focused on GOD!!!

Hello ladies, I'm 32 wks with baby #5 and suffer with depression... During this pregnancy I think the devil is using the fact that I didn't want to be pregnant again against me... I love all of my children even my unborn it's just been very stressful with everything I've been going through... I know that they all are blessing... I guess I just wanted to vent and get a couple of prayers if you ladies/gents don't mind...

Some peoples pain is so deep they can't even say it out loud. I believe in talking about our struggles instead of faking a smile.  And we can do this with a confidences that the struggles one goes thru r universal.  They r not ours alone if we pretend they r we r only putting out stingyness and we will attract more stingyness from ppl that had love understanding and the help we were seaking.

God shall substain you. Its gonna be ok he will do what he promise to do. Focus on him and all else shall follow. I wish I was closer to you I would visit and keep you company and pray with you. Dear father, you daughter is in need of your love, support and comfort. Take over and easy the depression and discomfort she may have regarding this pregnancy. Children are a blessing and gift from you she knows but she needs your reassurance. She knows what you can do, have done, and been doing. Show yourself strong in her life, her children life and all that will have a role in her life. Lord you are faithful and your word sticks closer than a brother. You are the I am today, tomorrow and forever. In Jesus name we pray blessings over her. AMEN

Well as you pray for me I pray for you... It is a battle that shall be won... It does get frustrating but I'm trying to keep a smile on my face thru it all... I also feel the same about abortion... I believe that every woman had the right to choose but I know it's not for me... As much as I wanted children I could never do that to myself not the blessing that God has gifted to me... Yes it's a struggle and worrying about them will block any further blessings that come my way so I'm trying to stay positive no matter what and thank you ladies for sharing your kind words...

I'm on baby #5 as well. 26 weeks along. I completely understand where you are coming from. I wanted to stop at 4. I do strongly feel that if God wants a baby he'll put one there. God also wouldn't give us more than we could handle. This whole pregnancy I've been trying to seek God out more and push into God. It's so comforting knowing that some other ladies out there are experiencing the same. I've felt so alone. I had a doctor tell me recently because this is baby #5 that I'm at risk for post partum hemorrhage. Scary....it's been on my mind constantly and I can't get it out of my head. My husband's parents weren't thrilled that we were pregnant. They haven't come and seen our other kiddos since we said we were pregnant at 11 weeks. My husband's mother told my husband to force me to go get an abortion. I personally adn my husband personally don't believe in abortions. We believe that God will put the baby there if he wants one. I also strongly feel that if your living a life by God. Following what God wants, God will beyond a doubt provide. The devil literally tries to deter you in any way shape or form from God by using family, health, finances, and spiritual warfare against you. I've been so anxious this pregnancy and we've been encountering obstacles but keep praising God and pushing into God. Everytime I get anxious I cast my fears and worries onto the lord. I hope all goes well with you ladies and your pregnancies. No matter what if we focus on God and stand for God Satan won't win.

1 John 4:4
Greater is he that is in me, than he this is in the world.

This verse is so true. God bless you all!!:)

My children were taught responsibility as soon as I found out how smart they were, lol... My first 3 are girls and they are 9,7 & 5 and then my son is 1(19 months)... I think one of my issues is the fact that I don't think my body can handle it anymore... I'll be 30 next year and I've heard your body starts to change at that age so maybe that's where my pain is coming from... I've had issues with doctors and have switched from a ob to a midwife... Been seeing a chiropractor for the past couple of weeks which helps a little as long as I'm not active... Can't really work because of the pain and lately every time I do I start having contractions and have to leave work... Do want to have a preemie so I'm trying to figure that out as well... It's just a lot of bs that doesn't help on top of the depression that's all I guess...

I wasn't too thrilled when I first discovered I was pregnant again (I'm on my 2nd) because even though I'm still with the babies' father, our relationship is not good n hasn't been for a very long time. But as time has gone by, I've been more n more excited n been trying to focus on God too. I'll keep u in my prayers. How old are your other children, btw? I have younger siblings n my parent taught me responsibility early on by giving me chores little by little to help out with the younger ones n help out around the house. It will be easier on you.
