I’m due pretty soon with baby #4 👶🥳 After Baby 3, 4 years ago I was so done. Because of the crazy symptoms and everything, so run down and just felt like I could never do this ever again. But then I started feeling better and The Lord laid it on our hearts to have another. I went through a lot of fears and unknowns. Will being pregnant again cause me to flare up? Will I be set way back on my recovery? Can I handle it? Will the nausea not being able to eat decent food make my symptoms get worse again?
On the home stretch now. And for the most part my symptoms haven’t gotten worse praise the Lord 🙌🏼, except for the times when I wasn’t able to get my supplements in time with postal overload at Christmas etc. There’s something major to be said for having the right nutritional supports in place!!
The next two unknowns are labor/delivery and recovery. Because postpartum four years ago is when the crazy started. Giving it to the Lord daily (and more often 🙃💜), eating intuitively, listening to my body and God-given intuition, being intentional about moving my body in some way when I can, and being consistent with my supplements are things that I can do. And try not to worry about the rest. God alone holds the future and He’s never surprised by what happens. He can be trusted. He designed the female body to know how to birth, deliver and recover well.
