Baby Rodrigues #13 is coming – PLEASE pray!!

Image may contain: one or more people and closeupLet me tell you a bit of what is going on with our baby girl!   I have NEVER had to have a C-Section before with any of my previous 12 full-term births! Praise the Lord! I have ALWAYS chosen the NON-CONVENTIONAL/ NATURAL, little to no pain meds – way of doing things.

If someone throws the word – “C-Section” at me, I resist. I want NATURAL and a mid-wife present, rather than nodding my head in full agreement at the “predictions” of doctors that may see a $ sign in giving me a C-Section as opposed the letting me birth the baby naturally. I give GOD the glory in giving me natural births with our first 12 children – including 4 breech babies right up to the the end! YIKES!

This pregnancy has been so different than the other 12. It has been filled with special appointments, concern, tears, and much prayer.

So, with that said, we have some deep concerns about this delivery. Let me explain……

1. She is still breech and/or transverse.
2. My placenta is in a VERY dangerous spot for the doctors to safely flip her. If they tried, it could detach my placenta – threatening both my life and the baby’s life.
3. Our baby girl is very “special” and we do not want her going through unnecessary trauma.

I TOTALLY resisted a C-Section in my heart until one night in bed, I COMPLETELY gave it to God.   I told Him that I KNOW that He knows what is BEST! We tried LOTS of suggested home remedies to try to get her to flip – to no avail.

So, with that said, I am scheduled this Wednesday morning (April 11th) for a C-Section UNLESS we get there and she has successfully flipped on her own. At that time, they would immediately induce me and monitor her closely – as I would then try to still have her naturally.

We have HUNDREDS of people praying that she will flip, so if she does NOT, well……..it will REALLY show to me that God’s plan is C-section and I will rest fully in that.

Thank you for your prayers. We will post soon after her birth to keep you updated on her delivery, health, etc.

PLEASE pray with me about this all. I will be transparent when I say, “I am scared.” (for many reasons)

Thank God that He is my refuge in the times of the unknowns. What a MIGHTY God we serve!

It is WELL with My Soul, Jill Rodrigues (and loving Dad – David too)

 

 

***Just a SWEET thing our daughter (Nurie) did.  Thought I’d share it with you below.***

So, I commented on how BEAUTIFUL this bracelet was that Nurie made for her Etsy Image may contain: one or more peoplebusiness. Awhile later, I went into my bedroom and found all this on my bed……
