For parents that believe in miracles?

Question

I just want some opinions on this. My youngest was far from planned. I had been on the Nuva ring for nearly 2 months when I became pregnant with her. When I was 4 months pregnant my doctor discovered I had placenta abruptio and was placed on bed rest. I went back a few weeks later because of severe bleeding and he said the same "bed rest." everything was going good until I was 6 months along. That's when i started bleeding severely again. Everything was fine once again. When I gave birth, I was given the wrong does of cytotek, twice the safe amount to induce labor. My daughter is now 1 1/2 and very happy and healthy. I say she is my miracle baby but her father doesn't believe in such things. I know in my heart she is though.


Has anyone else had "miracle," babies?

Don't get me wrong, I believe all children are miracles. I'm in a mushy mood right now...sorry

Answer 1

I know what you mean! All Children are little miracles, but in your case I would say your child is a special blessing because of the circumstances in the pregnancy.Alot of ppl don't understand the loss of a child or how easy it is for some to lose a child during pregnancy.I lost a child at 12 weeks gestation and some ppl who do drugs and drink etc have no problem packing a child full term.I don't think your baby's father fully understands that in a blink of an eye the pregnancy, child, hopes, etc could be gone.I'm glad you see your child as the miracle she is!As long as you know in your heart, as you said you did, that she is your miracle baby...Hold close to that.Don't ever forget it.Give God the glory for this child each day because none of us ever know if we have tomorrow.I am now the mother of 2 children by the grace of God.My oldest is now 5 yrs and she too is my miracle.It took me over a year to conceive her after the miscarriage and surgery.I was on bed rest for severe cramping, high b/p, diabetes, placenta previa etc, and not only is she now 5 and healthy...She is above average intelligence, funny, cute, tenderhearted and kind.I didn't have much trouble with my second child except diabetes and that she was a large child but she is still a gift.
Your child has a special plan, and lucky to have a mother who loves her the way you do!

Answer 2

My daughter is a miracle baby. She was born weighing 2 pounds 10 ounces, 16 in long. She is getting ready to turn a year old. She spent two and a half months in the hospital NICU after she was born. Then she was home three weeks and got very sick. She spent over three months in the PICU that time. She had pneumonia in August and spent a week and a half in the hospital. She has survived things that surprised all the doctors. She does have low muscle tone and is on oxygen, but she is a happy baby. She is definantly my little miracle.

Answer 3

That's an awesome glory-story. Thanks for sharing it.

Honestly, I think ANY child that's born healthy and generally within the "normal" parameters is an absolute miracle. I look at my son, now 10, and simply marvel at the unique, spectacular and priceless gift that he is.
And when I watch an in-utero documentary and see how 2 little cells come together and develop in such an intricate and complicated way, it's inconceivable (good choice of words!) that a child could be anything BUT a miracle.
I could go on and on but the rest of that would belong in a different category!

78 years ago, my gradpa was born at home and weighed only 3 lbs. His mother kept him in a drawer next to the wood stove to keep him warm

8 years ago, my newphew was born at only 20 weeks. his eyes were still sealed, and his hands and feet were still webbed. he was the size of a small cell phone. today is 110% normal boy

under 3 years ago, my friend gave birth to fraternal twin boys, conceived on the depo shot. A few months ago, the same friend gave birth to triplets, also conceived on the depo shot. They were only given a 10% chance that even one of the babies would survive to birth. All 3 babies, 2 girls and a boy, were born alive, weighing between 1 and 2lbs. A couple of weeks later, the smallest baby girl passed away. Today, the other two are home and finally mostly healthy. My friend is a miracle mother, with 4 babies under the age of 3.

On my 19th birthday, my daughter was conceived. It happened to be the last day of my period, and I was also on the pill. 9 months later, after 38 hours of labor, she was born totally healthy despite an extremely sick and stressful (because of my family) pregnancy. My husband and I couldnt be more thrilled! Of course babies are miracles! Congrats on yours!

Oh! I almost forgot about ME! My mother spent her entire pregnancy in the ICU. The doctors said that there was no way that we would survive. They said we would both die, or at the very least, I would be a complete vegetable. They even tried to yank her medical rights and force an abortion, but she fought for my life. Considering she was only 18, and my father had already ran off and married another woman after 4 years with my mom, many other women would have given in. But she didnt. I was born 2 months early, in a small hospital, weighing 4 lbs. I was in the NICU, and my mother was in the ICU. She was so sick that the wouldnt let her see me until she finally freaked out after 8 days and insisted that they let her. I spent a couple of months in the hospital, but obviously survived. My mom is also fine too. The first 2 years, I struggled a lot with things like pneumonia. But needless to say, my mother and I are both alive and well today. God works in miraculous ways.

Answer 5

Welcome to the world of parenthood! Not to make light of the medical conditions you speak of but you would feel the same way regardless. All Mother's feel this after giving birth as all Babies are "miracles". Fathers have a different take on having children and that is no mystery. Your daughter will be pleased to know what a miracle she is when your share it with her throughout her life.

Answer 6

Yes, sounds like a miracle to me. I have one too. I was in labor with my 3rd child who is now almost 8, and I couldn't stop thinking about asking my husband to call a casual (not close) friend from church to ask her to pray. I would push the thought away because I didn't know her well and she didn't ask to be notified when I had the baby but the thought would not go away. So I finally had him make the call. My baby was born sick and whisked off to neonatal intensive care. It was very scary and we had to sign all these releases for stuff and I wasn't allowed to hold her for days. But anyway, she just got better so fast the docs. couldn't believe it. I found out later that God had my neighbor pray for about 10 solid hours and had her inlist others to pray on our behalf also. We call her our miracle girl and I am so grateful to God and my now better friend who kept praying when God asked her to.

Answer 7

The birth of your baby was definitely a miracle. God wanted you to have her even though your body was disagreeing, so don't forget to give him praise for it everyday. i believe that the birth of every baby is a miracle. it is so amazing that two people can create another being. your husband doesn't sound like he is a God fearing man. he needs to realize that you could have lost the baby at any time and that it was God that allowed you to keep her.

May God's favor be with you always

Answer 8

When I was pregnant w/ my son I started spotting, spotting turned into a gush. In the ER I was told I would miss carry. I went on bed rest & all was fine. 2 months later I felt wet, went to my OB & was told I had a upper pin hole leak in my bag of water & would probly lose my baby. Went on bed rest again, w/ help of antibiotics & prayer the hole fussed itself. At 36 weeks my water broke, I went to the hospital & delivered within 2hours of arriving my sons cord was wrapped around his neck 7 times! He was dark purple ,not even blue. With help from God again & NICU may son came home the same day I did. He is now 19 months old healthy & happy. He does have speech development delay due to lack of oxogen at birth but w/ help yet again from god & his speech theropist he improves daily....Do I believ in miracles...YES I have one sleeping in his crib right now!

Answer 9

I 100% agree that miracles happen around us everyday. If you actaully took the proababilty of each incident and its outcome, you realize that this had another power behind it. My husband was in a bad wreck three years ago...he is not so post to be here today, nor was he able to have children. We already had one daughter anyway, and were satisfied. A year later, we had unplanned, unthought of, and completely unexpected, boy/girl twins. They are our miracle babies.

Answer 10

All babies are miracles in their own way. You are fortunate that you had good care and nothing harmed her, which in its own way is a small miracle. The world abounds in stories of women who were never supposed to be able to get pregnant conceiving starting in the Bible. Enjoy your child, call her your miracle and let her father call her his baby girl.
