Misdiagnosed Miscarriage

My prayer is that anyone who needs to read this post will be led here by God. 

One of the most awesome testimonies that I have in my life is my second son, Samuel.  After trying for a few years to get pregnant, we finally were.  The doctor told us that the pregnancy was just a blighted ovum.  He ran tests, did ultrasounds, and took blood for several days.  He kept pushing us to get a D&C, saying that it could take "months" to miscarry naturally.

We wouldn't do it.  And the doctor was wrong.  There was a baby and HE WAS WRONG!

Doctors aren't always right.  There are so many stories of women being told that their babies were dead, and they weren't.  Check out this site.  www.misdiagnosedmiscarriage.com  Also, if your baby does die in the womb, please consider miscarrying naturally.  That way, there is NO risk of your killing a baby that is really alive.  I've had many women talk about their natural miscarriages, and how healing it was to hold their tiny little babies (like the size of a dime to even two inches long).  Miscarriage is a painful aspect of life, and I'm sorry for any woman who has to go through it.  But don't let one ultrasound tell you that your baby is dead.

This is a topic very, very close to my heart. Ds4 was "supposed" to m/c shortly after I discovered I was pg. Guess what? He made it. And I've unfortunately felt the very real pain of losing two womb babies. Both times the m/c was natural and it was complete. God knows what He is doing. Trust Him. Not the medical degree on the wall.
