Pregnant Moving On With God Despite Unfairness?

Question

I have been on here before a couple of months ago and got the chance to read some really insightful and God given answers. Not to mention, no one knows me. I feel guilty for wanting to previously consider aborting my baby. I have now grown a love for my unborn child. My husband and I called it quits yesterday after 8 months of marriage. Although I am horribly hurt by it, a part of me already knew that his heart wasn't in it. He did not love me, but he could convince others that he did. I am now 5 months pregnant. The doctor expressed to me that I am putting the baby in danger because of the stress that I've been putting on my body. When things didn't go well often times with my husband and myself, I would find extra-curricular activities to be involved in so I wouldn't concentrate on him either cheating on me or just treating me cold period. Now we're getting a divorce & I'm pregnant. Godly advice is needed. It's easy to encourage someone else, but when you're hurt, its hard

Answer 1

my first suggestion is don't listen to the doctor especially if he is encouraging you to abort, seek out some fellowship with other Believers, children are an incredible blessing from God you may be hurting a lot right now but when your baby comes it will give you great joy, it may be a struggle after that as well but nowhere in the Bible does it say that children are a burden, in fact they are a delight, I suggest that you seek out some fellow Believers that can help you through this, there are maybe people and organizations that will lovingly extend their help and support

Answer 2

You have taken the first step to get a better life by taking what was wrong and tring to fix it.. The rest is going to be hard at first but will slowly get easier.. If everything in life was easy and there was not a fight for it, then how would we all be? I have faith in you myself, and you know you have it also in yourself.. It is going to be hard as hell to be a Mommy by yourself.. But you are what that child needs, and you made a great choice by keeping it.. Life is not a fast paced walk, it is slow baby steps.. You might take 5 forward and 7 backward but a few years from now you are going to be able to look back and see that everything you did made you stronger.. I wish you every bit of luck, and I am sure alot of others are too.. you need to get a close family memeber that you can trust to be with you, not all the time just until you feel better about everything.. The baby will feel what you feel right now.. So take care of that baby.. and do please get back on YA and let us all help you name it..

I wanted to say...I am not a person who knows alot of scripture by heart but i wanted to say your baby is a blessing. A gift from God God loves you and treasure that blessing. i have been in your shoes before a single mother after having two children my husband walks out and it was hard but i still had my babies now five years later i am married to a wonderful man and have a child with him and recently lost a baby. But i still believe in the Lord. rember God works all things for good who love him. your husband is the one who decided to leave. it isnt your fault. my ex husband didnt really want a family he is a ok father to my two children but the step dad is more of a daddy. he supports them but doesnt call to see how the game at school went. sees them every other weekend i never talk bad about him. you just love your baby and yourself. let God help you thru each day enjoy your pregancy dont let your husband ruin this speical time for you. you could even pray for him but if he wants to leave let him go. you could pray he become a good father to your child. you can do this. God will give you strength may the Lord Bless you and dont let rob your joy.

All I know to tell you is that the Bible says children are a gift from God. You must believe this. In the old Testement, God promised Abraham a child and since Abraham thought his wife Sarah was too old to concieve, he slept with her handmaiden, Hagar, who bore him a son, Ishmael. Later when Sarah did in fact become pregnant, she had Hagar and Ishmael banished to the desert and left to die because she wanted Abraham to give all his love to her son, Isaac. After all their water was gone, Hagar couldn't bear to hear the cries of her son any longer, so she put him under a bush and walked away so she would not have to watch the boy die. But God heard the voice of the boy and God called out to Hagar and said, "what's wrong Hagar? I have heard your son's cries and I know where he is"
Why did God ask Hagar what was wrong? He's God. He already knew the answer to that question. He wanted Hagar to completely understand and think about her situation and come to completely depend on God to help her and her son. Even though your child is yet to be born, God sees you and knows where you and your child are. He knows every single thing about your situation and He is just waiting for you to cry out for Him and to totally and completely depend on him. This may seem a little scary, but with a little faith, miracles will happen. God is waiting for you. He holds you and your child in the palm of His hand. Good Luck and God Bless.

Hey girl...God has you! Please beleive that he would never give you more than you could bare. He will also bless you and your child because you took the step that most don't. You kept your child! God loves us more when we obey him. I'm sorry about your marriage, but sometimes we experience things that bring us closer to God and you seem to be getting there. I'd like to stay in contact with you throughout your pregnacy. If you could email me that would be good. My mother writes prayers every morning and sends them to friends and family and she could include you. My email is [e-mail]. Consider this because right now you are doing alot on your own, but God also puts others in your life to help you.
Make sure you rest your body up and eat right. You're a mother. :) Smile...you deserve to!

Remember to say your prayers and have faith. If you ever feel like you need someone to chat with you can email me. I know you don't know me but sometimes it helps to just talk. Good luck! Your in my prayers!
