Brilliance


She's here. I can't believe it. I waited all my life for her... and she is here. Scout Elizabeth Kingsley was born on July 13th, 2006. Our baby girl - she is with us now. I was on bed rest for a large part of my pregnancy - and couldn't write - was too distracted, too scared, too tired. I never knew if she would make it - but she did. So, after two sad and difficult losses, we have a baby girl. She is now almost 10 weeks old and is the love of our lives. I can't imagine life without her and we feel so blessed.

Life is so unpredictable. I never thought I would lose two pregnancies - and for me they were babies. And I never thought I would have a blood clotting disorder which we have learned is genetic and my father passed it to me. I also didn't think that I would develop a blood platelet's problem at 6 months. Long story - but another disorder with my blood. I never imagined that I would have a C-Section and was thrilled when she came out two weeks early because my back was so bad it was recommended that I not attempt labor. I never thought that being a Mom would bring me total and complete peace after a life filled with anxiety. I never thought I could love so much, so unconditionally, so fast.

Scout has taught me so much. Losing taught me so much. And without losing the first two I wouldn't know Scout. The mere order of things would have changed everything.

I believe there are no coincidences...

I am breathing easy now... and enjoying each and every second.

I just found out this past week that I am miscarrying for a second time and your blog has given me some hope. If you don't mind me asking. What were the causes of your first 2 miscarriages? I have been diagnosed with 2 blighted ovums. So depressing because they say one is common but 2 in a row isn't so needsless to say I am starting to lose hope.

ALL THANKS TO DOCTOR STEVE FOR HELPING ME WITH THE ISSUES OF MISCARRIAGE.

I had a miscarriage in 2013. We’d only been trying to get pregnant for a couple of months, and when I got that first positive pregnancy test, it felt a little bit like a whoops! Well, okay. One evening, I came home from a book reading and was bleeding. I quickly turned to all my pregnancy books, and to the internet, all of which told me that a little bleeding could be normal and fine, but the longer it went on, and the more pain I was in, what was happening became clear. The bleeding wasn’t stopping, and neither was the pain. Even though it was obvious enough what was going on, I refused to take any pain medication. Because you’re not supposed to take blood thinners when you’re pregnant. That was how I lost my first pregnancy. And in two others in the same year I had to look for solution, because our family Doctor could not help, he has given us a lot of prescription but non worked, I had to look for solution on line and saw the contact of Dr Steve I contacted him through the email and made purchase for his product which is a permanent solution to Miscarriage. Now am having two kids and I promise to tell the whole world about him if he helps me out. You can contact him for solution on drsteve833@gmail.com for a good solution to miscarriage.
