Pregnancy: 24 Stories
-
My story is a sad and unfortunate one. While in high school, I got pregnant and had an abortion. It was the WORSE mistake of my life. I came from a broken and critical home and felt I had no other option, and the father of the baby was not very supportive. I starting coming to church on the move and never thought that God could forgive someone like me. Since then, I got married and God blessed me with another child. I recommitted my life to Christ and now have a huge heart for children and speak to young women so that they do not EVER make the same mistake. There are so many people out there who are not able to have children, and it rips my heart out knowing what I did and what other women around the world are facing. Thank you COTM for showing me that God can forgive anyone for letting a horrible past mistake turn into an outreach for the innocent and for God.

I suffered with pain for 9 years. My doctors had to rule out disorders as the disease progressed, causing more problems. finally was diagnosed and had surgery to remove the endometriosis. They say you can not cure it, but just remove it and hope it doesn’t grow back rapidly. - they did not get it all in surgery, still having pain, becoming daily . I went to healing service for healing. I knew God wanted me healed and only he was supernatural enough to overcome this world, but still after over a year I suffered from daily pain. Dr. said my husband and I needed to try now not later for children, just in case. After months I got discouraged and told God I was trying to keep faith but didn’t know how much more pain I could take. Then I did not have pain for 4 days straight, took a pregnancy test and it was positive! God knew exactly what I could handle and how exactly to speek to me. I am now 32 weeks pregnant pain free and anxiously awaiting our first baby boy.

I had suffered through the most horrible 2 years, loosing three babies.Then after being told I would never be able to have children we gave it all to god.I then became pregnant.I suffered through many illnesses,Illnesses that could have taken my baby.She was born her name is Elliana it means God has answered us. When she was born they lifeflighted her to another hospital.She had many problems.The staff repeatedly told me the things she would not be able to do,and how we could not even leave the hospital with her.We prayed Gods promises over her, Church on the move sent a prayer leader out to pray with us. They called every other day to see how she was. She finally came home with a clean bill of health.Again the devil came in where one night she stopped breathing,but thankfully they got her back. She is doing great today.What is truely amazing is how at that time at church we had just wrapped up triumph series. Triumph gave me so much strength to get through everything. ThankuCOTM

My mother suffered Rheumatoid Arthritis for over 30 years. While on her death bed this past June and on a respirator mom would occasionally open her eyes. One night when I was by her bed side, I said my goodbyes. I also asked her once she got into heaven to ask God personally if he could send a child back to earth for my wife to give birth to. Mom knew we had been trying for the past 5 years to have another child, and every night for the past 5 years my 9 year old son has been praying for a baby brother or sister. Looking into moms eyes I knew she understood. She entered the kingdom of Heaven with Christ a few days later and we were all by her bedside, she had been suffering for so many years and when she went, I felt the present of the Lord. On Fathers day my wife gave me a custom T-Shirt that said Daddy’s Stars. One star with my son Preston and the other said Baby Platten Feb. 2011. We recently found out that we are having a baby girl and yes, Irene will be her middle name.

After 6 years and hundreds of dollars spent trying to get pregnant my husband and I were informed that without invitro I would not be able to bear children. We were devestated. I could not bring myself to go through a very expensive procedure to be let down again. I was heartbroken. Everytime I would see a baby or hear that a friend was pregnant I would hurt! I wondered what I had done wrong to not deserve a child. I prayed to God that if this is his will then so be it. He has a plan for my life and I will follow. People would ask why I didnt have children or if we were going to have children and I would tell them “When God is ready for me to have a baby I will! He knows the desires of my heart.” I am proud to say that God blessed my husband and I will a healthy son a year ago in October! He is the joy of our lives. I thank God daily for him!
PSALM 37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.

A year ago Easter I watched the story of the Mom who had difficulties getting pregnant. I had recently had a Miscarriage(MC) ealier that yr in Jan. I had 4-MC in the past; 2-before (Khloe born 12/30/05) & 2-after. I began having Migraines (MIG)& Headaches (HA)about 3 yrs ago. I avg. 1-2 MIG/mo & 2-3 HA/wk. All the Dr’s were trying to give me Pain meds & Anti-Depressants (they’re supposed to help with MIG) meds to cover up the real issue. After 7-dr’s I finally found one that would listen. In Oct 09’ I had expl. surgery, my Right Fallopian Tube was removed. It was badly damaged &had no opening due to Endometriosys (ENDO). There was some on the left tube also & the Uterus, but they were able to lazer it off. ENDO can be a cause of both MIG/HA & MC. Mother’s Day this yr I watched another story of a lady (vid. during church)who had struggled to get pregnant. This time it was different. On 06/25/10 I found out we are expecting a BABY! GOD IS GOOD! Thanks for doing those stories!

God’s timing is everything!! We had been married 5 yrs we were ready to start a family.I got pregnant right away in Oct 2002. I found out at my 10 wk check up that there was no heartbeat and the baby stopped growing at 5 wks. I was devistated and wondered what I did to cause this! So when I had my 2nd miscarriage we had testing done to see why I could not sustain a pregancy. All was normal I wanted to know WHY God would allow such pain. Well after four miscarriages in a row 2002, 2003, and 2 in 2004 I truly gave it to the Lord. I gave birth to our beautiful little girl Hope in Aug 2005. Twenty five months later we had her brother Noah in Sept 2007 who was just a glimmer of thought and prayer for the strength to try again.However having gone thru all the miscarriages I learned that all things happen in God’s timing. He knew just when we were ready to welcome a baby into our lives before we did.I can’t wait for my reunion in heaven with my other 4 babies. Always praise him in the storm.

Three years ago we decided to begin a family and was soon pregnant, but later had a miscarriage. I knew God would get me through my sadness. I got pregnant again, I was happy but weary at the same time. That day I felt the way I did before, I went to church to get prayed for. I told a lady my story, she had also miscarried and now has twins.Later that night I miscarried.I picked up a paper from guest services for expecting mothers. I decided to speak life to my womb. I went to a retreat, the lady teaching had us write down what stronghold was holding us back. I wrote my heartbreak and losing two babies, I then threw the paper. My burden that I thought I released I finally did. God gives us the desires of our hearts and and mine was to be a mom.God restores what the devil takes away. I was also reminded of the women that prayed for me who had twins out of all the people that could have prayed for me God picked her. God had a bigger plan for my family. I now have twin girls.

My husband and I had been trying to have a baby for several years. We went to doctors, but none of them were able to pinpoint why we weren’t conceiving. While studying the bible for a scripture to stand on, I found Hebrews 11:11 “By faith even Sarah herself received the ability to conceive because she considered Him faithful who had promised.” I prayed and stood on that scripture, saying it out loud at least 10 times a day. Sometimes Satan would tell me I would never have a baby. I remembered Pastor George had once taught that everything Satan said was a lie… so when I would ‘hear’ that lie, I would laugh and say I KNEW I would conceive because God watches over His Word to perform it. AND since everything Satan says is a lie, that meant I WOULD conceive! Soon that lie stopped coming to my thoughts. After three years of standing on God’s Word, I did conceive and am now the mother of an amazing 10-year-old son and I thank God for him every day!

My husband and I had been married for just over 3 years and was ready to start a family. We tried “the old fashioned” way for about a year with no success. We tried different medications and were on the verge of giving up and adopting (which plan on doing later in life any way) but I really wanted to have a child of my own. We finally agreed we were trying to do this by ourselves, so after much prayer and letting God take control I got pregnant 3 months after that decision. We now have a beautiful baby boy we named Nathan which means God’s gift.

I got pregnant in 2007 with my 2nd child. We were informed after an ultrasound that she had a rare birth defect, and it was fatal. I was told that the only option was abortion. Well, that wasn’t and option for us. I carried her full term and delivered her on my dad’s birthday. Shortly after birth she did pass on. I had never felt a hurt like I did on that day but, refused to let satan have any kind of victory. I told God that day, no matter what circumstances I face in life that He is my LORD and I will serve and love Him. The peace he has given me really does surpass all understanding. Just like it say’s in James 1:3 “For you know that when your faith is tested your endurance has a chance to grow”. And that is exactly what my faith has done. I have realized after all this, just how important it is to build your house on the ROCK. To me triumph is when you have been hurt deeply but, your faith remains unshaken. GOD is good no matter what!
Thank you Pastor George & COTM

I’ve read the stories on here of many women who went through infertility and were blessed with pregnancies. My husband and I also faced infertility but have had no pregnancy. God has provided by allowing us to adopt two wonderful kids from OKDHS. At the young ages of 3 years and 18 months these two needed a Mommy and Daddy and we needed to be Mommy and Daddy. God brought us together and made us a family!

Like every newley married couple, we had big dreams of starting a family. Getting pregnant was not easy for us. We went through test after test, & then month after month of no pregnancy, I got frustrated, felt denied and I turned from God. I gave up. It wasn’t until I found a doctor who would work with me, he ran new tests found the problem…then I had renewed hope. I heard a voice say to me one night ‘I’m here’. God knew the desires of my heart and I then knew he wouldn’t deny me a child of my own. Within 3 months we were successfully pregnant with our first son. After 5 years of heartache and being on an emotional roller coaster, we had our son. He was worth the wait! The day he was born, I fully understood that everything was in God’s time, not mine. I learned what love was on Aug 14, 2007. Then on Aug 24, 2009, God showed me again his promise with my second son, and I have now fully given my heart to God. My boys remind me every day of God’s love for me!

About three weeks ago I had a miscarriage. Satan immediately blamed me, told me I didn’t do enough, I wasn’t a good christian, I did something wrong. I had feelings of shame. Because we had plugged in at COTM and made connections years before, we had a network of people help us go through it. One of those people told me to look in a mirror and proclaim, “I am God’s child and he is well pleased with me!” I went home and said it. I started to walk away after about ten times. But I felt I should keep doing it, so after ten more times I started to walk away, but again felt I should keep saying it. I thought, “I’m crazy, am I just trying to make something happen or is this really God?” I went ahead and started saying it again, then after about five times, I was reminded very softly something I had said to a counselor right after it happened - “I just want God to be pleased with me.” I quickly felt God’s arms around me! He confirmed to me he hears me, cares for me, & HE LOVES ME!!!!!!

“She can never have children” were the words my parents were told as I was growing up having been diagnosed at 3 years old with nephrotic syndrome - a severe kidney disease. The next 30+ years were bleak; kidney failure numerous times, high dosages of steriod drugs, just to name a few. Having outlived the doctor’s expected life span I was married in 1981. We did believe in healing - that was the only way I was still alive. But in 1984 we learned the truth that God would give us the desires of our heart & yes, He wanted us to have children. For the next 8 years we tried everything to get pregnant, & weren’t getting any younger. I was scheduled for a baseline mammogram but for a few weeks prior had been having “weird” symptoms. Knowing there was ‘no way’ I was pregnant after all these years, I went & had a blood test - POSITIVE. For the next 9 mos. I had a “textbook” pregnancy. She is now 17. Yes, God is a good God and His Word never fails.

On August 11, 2006, I delivered both of my husband & I’s stillborn twin girls, our 2nd pregnancy loss since we married in 2002. Three weeks later, my father-in-law was diagnosed with lymphoma & the only “Dad” we would ever know & love died on December 6, 2006. The next 2 & 1/2 years were spent trying almost every way possible to escape the greatest hurt, anger, confusion, & despair we had ever felt through work & partying. It was early 2009 that I woke up & heard a voice calling me to let go of the past. I realized then that what I had been missing was the love & peace only Jesus can provide. I followed His calling by leaving behind my job, friends, city, & even my husband, who wasn’t yet ready to join me on my spiritual journey. I began coming to COTM with my mom & rediscovered the Lord & His path for me. One year later, I now know that I can survive ANYTHING with Christ as my Savior. And, my husband & I can’t wait to teach our son, due on April 16th, that very same lesson.

Since the summer of 2008 my husband and I have been trying for our third child. After 3 miscarriages each 5-6 months apart, we had given up. During church one Wednesday night I clearly felt God tell me that He was going to give me another baby. This happened two more times over the next couple weeks. Then Pastor spoke on faith. I went home believing in my heart and proclaiming that “by His stripes I am healed!”. In the middle of the night that same night I felt contacting and broke out in a sweat. Five days later, my pregnancy tests were positive. I was already 6 weeks along, I had gotten pregnant the when He told me He was going to give me another baby. I believe that the reason we didn’t lose this one is because He healed me that night that I started believing. We are due October 17 and this is the healthiest pregnancy I’ve had since my youngest son!

In September, I went in for my first doctor’s appointment after discovering I was pregnant. During the ultrasound, the doctor saw many spots throughout my stomach. He said it looked like a condition that would basically abort my pregnancy. He didn’t give me a new mother pack and didn’t have me do the routine pregnancy bloodwork. He just said to come back in two weeks. In that two weeks, we believed that God had called us to stand on Psalm 91 on behalf of our baby and to praise Him for His faithfulness. At the appointment two weeks later, the ultrasound showed that every spot had completely disappeared! I have had an ultrasound at every appointment since and every one has shown a completely healthy and perfect little boy. I am now 8 months pregnant and looking forward to meeting the son that God protected in my womb.

My husband and I tried for three years to get pregnant. We prayed, stood on God’s word & professed that we were redeamed from the curse of the law. Sadly, our fertility path was leading us closer and closer to In Vitro Fertilization. The procedure costs about $10,000. As we pondered whether or not it was God’s will that we begin this process, COTM began its “It’s Your Move” campaign. We tested our faith and gave our In Vitro money to COTM towards the campaign hoping for a quick miracle. We still didn’t get pregnant. We felt as if God had forgotten us! A year later, I began seeing a new OBGYN. He took some blood tests and realized that my body was not doing something so simple: ovulating! We almost spent $10,000 to have a baby but thankfully, it only cost us $100. Although it took longer than I wanted, I believe God led me to my new doctor & we now have our sweet baby girl Megan. She was born on December 7th, 2009 and is the absolute love of our lives!

My husband and I struggled to have a family for 4 yrs. We went through 2 miscarriages at 16 weeks and 8 weeks. Our journey included infertility treatments and after trying for so long, we now have a beautiful 4mo old baby boy. We have been members of COTM for 3 years and our relationship with Christ has grown more and more every year. We could not have gone through this journey without the love of God and our family at COTM. God is so wonderful and has blessed us in so many ways. We started tithning about 2 years ago and God has blessed us financially too. I used to worry about credit card debt and student loans but I have a peace that God is working in our lives and He is our provider!
Thank you Pastor Willie George and all the Pastoral staff for your love and committment to Tulsa and COTM. You were there for us during a very difficult time of loss and saddness and showed us your love during the birth of our son. Thank you!

Almost five years ago our first child was stillborn 2 days before my due date. I had a clotting disorder and along with my grief and dark pain, I felt like my body killed our baby. I was so broken the only thing I could do was allow God to rebuild me. Eleven months later I gave birth to our daughter who was 6 weeks early, she is now 3.
At the age of 27, I was told it was not safe for me to have anymore children. Six months ago God revealed to both Kris and I that if we wanted another child, He would provide and I would be safe. Shortly after that PWG asked those who needed healing to stand at the end of a service. The following week the doctor told me I could have more children!
We are now pregnant with our 3rd baby due in September.
It was God that reminded me that our baby dying didn’t have to be the worst thing to happen to us… it became the best. My walk would not be the same without Him and we are triumphant because we saw past our own fears to see God’s true plan. -
We had been believing for a child for years. Despite multiple treatments and lots of cash, it seemed our last option was en vitro or adoption. $ was tight so it seemed a tough decision but it got a lot easier when our OB invited us into a study …all expenses paid! 50 couples were enrolled and 1 had babies. We are so blessed to say that we are the proud parents of perfect twin boys. It was the beginning of a faith journey that we try to develop daily. Thank God for His wonderful love and faithfulness (Mark 11:23). Thank you Willie George for your commitment to the word and for using your gifts for the glory of the Kingdom.

When my husband and I got pregnant with our first daughter we were elated! However 4 months into the pregnancy I began to have problems with amniotic fluid leakage. On Fathers Day of 1998, we were sitting in a hospital room and were told by the doctor that because of how much fluid I had lost and how weak the babies heartbeat was that I would more than likely lose her before the end of the day. I remember being completely consumed with anger, not at God or at the situation but at the devil. I mean, How dare he try to take our baby away from us. I grabbed my husbands hand and we both prayed for the health and safety of our baby, and told the devil to take his hands off of us. When I was finally taken down to ultrasound the technician was amazed to see that not only had the hole in my amniotic sac sealed up, but that the fluid levels had been restored to normal, and the baby’s heartbeat was once again healthy and strong. Several months later I gave birth to a healthy baby girl.
