Ephesians 5:2

Well, the neurosurgeon said that dh has a sacroiliac joint injury which will require physical therapy and pain management for healing BUT NO SURGERY! PTL!

Meanwhile, dh is still in need of prayer as he struggles to redeem this time he has to spend out of work and recuperating. This is a whole new world for him, because for him, 'doing something' involves moving vigorously and physically. Finding something he will feel good about doing while sitting/reclining will be a challenge.

Also, this will stretch my horizons as my now captive Command man will be manning the helm from his perch at home. I had to explain to my 7 year old today that just because mommy jumps and gets things time Daddy says he wants something doesn't mean that I am his personal go-getter also. Boy, what a disappointment for that little Mr. Command in the making!  Roll Eyes

Please continue praying for my dh. He isn't taking to his confinement well. At one point he told me I didn't understand the pain. I asked if he weren't lying in the same bed where I gave birth. His response was to say, "Huh? What'd you say? I'm not wearing my glasses. I can't hear anything!" Roll Eyes

LOL! At least we still have our sense of humor. Think of the $ we could have made in show biz. Angry

But, seriously, he does need prayer. It grates on him to be so limited. Undecided

If some of you guys could pm me some notes for him, I'll print them out for him to read. That would give him something to do. He doesn't post much here, but he gets the 'daily digest' from me and likes following the threads.

Good morning ladies! I just had to try & slide this in early, as I go to the Dr. this morning. Here's the situation in a nutshell:  I'm 39 wks, 3 days pg w/ baby #4. All along, I've been telling our dr. (whom we just love) to leave me alone & let me go on my own. I've been induced w/ medical issues (except #3; no real issues; dh made the call) at 36, 37, & 38 weeks, in that order. Dh says this is last baby, so my last chance to "experience" labor on my own. 

Anyway, I've got this embarrassing hemorroid problem that has really turned ugly. Two nights ago, we were at the hospital having them "compressed" (dr. term). I have NEVER been in that much pain and truthfully, it didn't help that much! I'm doing all the treatments I can do just to try to keep them from thrombosing & having to be lanced, but we know they're not going to get much better until baby. For now, I'm really feeling like all my focus is on this problem, as I'm tending to it 6 times daily....it's like my life has been taken over, and by something so silly.

So, we go today for my 39 week appt. I KNOW my dr. will offer to put me in tomorrow morning to have this baby. HERE's the crux of the issue. This is our first baby boy and my dh is SOOOOO IMPATIENT to get him here!! He is all for going in tomorrow and "getting his boy". But also, he's so sweet to me and is really tired of seeing me in tears daily over the hemorroid thing. He's not near as natural minded (he looked at me like I was insane when I asked for a  home birith) or emotionally led (good thing) as me.  Ya know, I just think how great it would be to for once just go into labor like women throughout the ages, and he's like, "you could go two more weeks dealing with the hemorroids, and having borderline diarreah all day every day from all the stool softeners, or you could have this baby and come home and start getting better.  Why is this even a choice??" 

He's said he'll let me make the final call, but if I get all like "I don't know what to do!" then he's making the decision. Anyway, that decision has to be made before tomorrow morning, so here's what I'm asking: 1. What would y'all do? I know I'll get all different answers...just curious; and 2. Please pray for wisdom for me & dh and that the Lord would have me go into labor TODAY!! Wouldn't that just solve the whole issue!!

Thanks for listening to this rambling. Bless each of y'all!

Emily,

My heart goes out to you.  My first two were induced and #2 had been a planned homebirth.  I know the desire that you are feeling and it is very real. 

Your man is right that a good outcome is really what matters.  That is hard for an emotional, late pregnancy woman to accept, I know. 

Although I cannot really help with making this decision, I can say that when I experienced going into labor without medical intervention and had my third child at home I felt so completed.  I still had some difficulties, but there was something about going through it without medical meddling that was very satisfying.    Our #4 baby put us back into the hospital after much prayer and discussion with preterm labor and hemmoraging (me) and showed us that birth method really didn't matter as much as that baby.   

Women are emotional and there's no getting around it.  Express your desires and wishes to your husband and leave it with him.  He'll be wise and you will be happy with a baby in your arms. 

I will keep praying for you.

Thank you blessed213. Your reply was so sweet. It made me cry (imagine that)! Thanks for your prayers. I know you're right about the outcome. Dh decided for induction w/ #3, as I had not been nearly as adamant about my desire to go on my own. I stressed all night the night before, but the next day, w/ baby in my arms, it was like, "who cares how she got here!!". So I know you're right.

I just made a trip to the little girls room, the pain from the hemorroids making me so frustrated!!! I guess if the truth be known, I really just feel like breaking into tears and  telling dh I'm too tired anymore to care...But then I think,  I have a little left in me yet, maybe I should just hold on??? If dh would switch into Command Man mode right now, that would be great!  Wink He did that when I was having baby #1. I had severe eclampsia and was in a lot of pain and on TONS of meds and right in the middle of  labor he decides to ask the dr. to give me a c-section and get it done with! Thankfully, I got to 10 soon after and it didn't have to go THAT far!

Thanks for the prayers. I know God will work it all out.

Blessings,
Emily

I'd try to wait.  I always trust nature more than forcepts, personally and have some experiences when give me that opinion.

This may encourage you Emily.

My first was a forcepts delivery that left me with horrible pain from hemroids (so I was told) and an epesiotomy stitched on the outside, and vaginal cutting (from forcepts) stitched up to my cervical area.  I was in PAIN after my first birth (can you guess why the next 4 were at home!!?)

When we gave this history to our midwife as we interviewed her, and I was 5 mos pregnant less than 2 years after that (and STILL in pain), she told us that a natural delivery would resolve all those issues.  We were a little questioning about that comment, but she assured me that many women came to her after similar problems (hemeroids from medical births) and having a baby naturally always seemed to take care of it.  Well, I had been having pain during sex for almost 2 years, and that was something I really wanted to happen.

It truly did.  The baby I had was HUGE, too, and my OB said would have been a C-section, had I gone in.  He was born at home without tearing, and I felt GREAT after he arrived.

Hang in there sister, God designed us well for births!  Praying for your comfort as you wait.  Lots of baths?  Epsom salt?  Take good care of yourself!

I would ask my husband to pray for me, that God would heal me and let me go into labor. Then, I would decide with my husband a time frame in which to wait for God to deliver the baby naturally (48 hours) and then, if no labor, take it as His leading to go with plan B.
Then I would take some castor oil  and black cohosh and blue cohosh.  Wink 

But, this is what I would do, and isn't necessarily the way God is leading YOU. So take it with a very large grain of salt.

Hi Jenny!
Thanks for asking about me. Well, before our appointment on the 5th, I prayed that our doctor would have specific recommendations (rather than just options) for us, and that he & my dh would come to a decision. Dr. examined me & I was at 3 centimeters & 60-70% effaced. He gave a very strong recommendation to put me in the next morning for induction, as the hemorroids he had tried to fix two days before had become thrombosed. He felt that was the best way to assure enough time for an epidural so he could deal with the hemorroids after delivery. I started to cry & dh looked at my doctor & said "see ya in the morning." So, that was that.

The induced me the next morning around 8ish. Sam was born about 4 hours later, at 12:17. He weighed 8 lbs. 3 oz. and was 19" long. He'll be two weeks old tomorrow, and is doing great. The hemorroids are gone & all is well!!! Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

I still wish that I could have gone on my own, but in the scheme of things, I have to believe that it just really doesn't matter much. The way we did it made dh happy, and it fell on a weekend, which made it so much more convenient for the wonderful grandparents who watched our other 3 kids.

Thanks again for asking! Have a great day!

Blessings,
Emily

I am asking for prayer for our little girl Juleah (she is 5) .She was seen by the doctor yesterday and there is possibility that she may have cancer of the lymphatic system   Cry . In addition to prayer sfor healing we are asking that prayers would be made for her to just feel a little better as well.She has been feeling pretty "yucky " for some time now and that is hard on her as she is usually a very busy little girl.We are in the "waiting game" right now and it may be two weeks before we receive any concrete answers but I will post as soon as we know more about the situation.
BTW ,she is the little girl (not the baby girl) in my avatar photo.

I posted a prayer request previously for my dh's interview for a job in Washington state. The Lord provided us with free tickets to get to the interview. My praise to the Lord for giving my husband the job he's been praying for.  We had anticipated my husband coming back to South Carolina(where we live) to move us out there, but the company wants him to start the training on Monday and then in a few weeks come to get his family. We would appreciate prayer that he would have transportation to his new job on Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also prayer that we would sell our house quickly as we really need the funds to move ourselves across country!

Thank you so much!

Carolina girl,
    That's wonderful news! Congrats! I'll be praying not only for your dh's transportation, but also that God would protect both of you while you are seperated for quite some time! I know how difficult that is!
   I just went through a very similar move myself, in fact, almost identical (except I was moving away from Washington Smiley ). God is good, He will make a way! Just rest easy, and get all the help you can get!!!
Many prayers,
  Christy

My step-nephew (17) has fathered a child with his ex-girlfriend (15). They are thinking about abortion. Her father is all for it (her mother is in jail) and he is threatening to press charges against my step-nephew if she does not have the abortion. Adoption has been suggested but not taken seriously. Please pray for this unborn child.

Thank you for praying for this baby and its parents. As it stands now, the young mother has decided to get prenatal care and is talking about carrying the baby to term. PTL and give Him thanks!!!

But don't stop praying, we all know she could change her mind at any time.

Thought I would update as soon as I could.We actually ended up going to the doctors yesterday instead of today becuase thatis when her normal doctor is in .She is much more considerate and understanding of the way we choose to treat our children medically and the non-vaxing issue.
We have good news and hard news ,though nothing as hard as the original supposition that she had either leukemia and/or lymphoma (which runs in my family).Her bloodwork came back good as in that she does not have cancer.PRAISE THE LORD !!!!
The downside is she most likely has primary immunodeficiency  or PI .This is something that I am going to have to do some reseaech onas I have not studied it before .Please continue to keep her in your prayers as we learn more about her illness.She had a very long day yesterday withus being at first the doctors office and then the hospital all day ,getting more bloodwork and x-rays  done .She was such a good little girl through it all too I was so proud of her .
We will keep things updated as they come. Right now we are praising the Lord for his goodness.
