To my amazement it didn't take long to get pregnant this time! I was shocked! Just a month after starting the baby aspirin, I conceived. I had been doing a TON of reading about my blood clotting disorder and the success rate of actually delivering a baby. I found that I was not "odd" at all! Actually, there are MANY women with the same condition I have. I stumbled upon several blogs and chats of ladies who were "sharing their story". This was a HUGE blessing and encouragement to me. I was thankful to read their success stories and to actually see pictures of their little miracles.
The moment I found out I was pregnant again I called Dr. Marichal's office. They had me come in the next day for an ultrasound and to discuss our future plans with our doctor. My husband and I decided to continue the aspirin regimen and to add 2 shots of "Heparin" daily and PRAY
A LOT that God would allow us to have this baby. I must admit I had faith, but I was scared to death of another miscarriage. At times, the fear was over-whelming.
During this time God reminded me of many Bible verses on the subject of "fear". One of the many verses I claimed was Isaiah 26:3. God also speaks to my heart through song. I heard a song entitled "A Greater Yes" by a gospel group called "The Whisnants". This song was a constant encouragement to me throughout my pregnancy.
This pregnancy felt different. I had fear, yet a sweet and calming peace. I knew in my heart that God was going to let us keep this baby on earth.
