Throughout my whole pregnancy with Claire I prayed for 3 things: that there would be no complications, no infection and that I would be able to nurse Claire successfully. Even in Ladies' Bible Study, I would write down that prayer as my prayer request.
After all that happened in the OR, I was thankful that I was OK, but could not believe that I had such a weird complication. That night, Dr. Seligman came to my room and said, in these words, "Placenta acredia is not a complication of pregnancy. Placenta acredia is a condition, a condition that had to be diagnosed and treated. There is no way to detect it prenatally." How perfect was it that he specifically used the word complication. I had not said that word or used it in a question, he just said it. That was God's way of letting me know that He heard my prayers.
After all 3 c-sections I have been so lucky as to get a urinary tract infection. I always blame it on the catheter. This delivery I did not get a UTI. That's right, no infection this time. God heard my prayers.
Now that we are 6 weeks into the breast-feeding, I am realizing that I need to quit worrying. I need to trust God if I want to be successful in feeding Claire. I have lots of times that I doubt myself, but if I can stay focused on believing that He will provide enough to my body to feed Claire enough, I will be successful. He hears my prayers.
