I can't believe it...the test says I am pregnant!

Now comes the hard work. Some of you might remember that the last 3 pregnancies that I had were very hard and scary. I end up having a terrible time sleeping, swallowing food and water and breathing...not a whole lot of fun. There was something weird going on with my throat and digestion. Please, please keep me in your prayers! I started with the insomnia ALREADY...the first two times it happened in the 7th month and the last time the 3rd month...I am probably only 3 or so weeks along sooo....

I wonder whose miraculous intercession I should pray for? Any ideas?

I am trying very hard to continue with a good exercise program and eat super well with natural supplements. Please place me on any prayer list you can find. They never did diagnose what went wrong with me. A miracle would be very welcome!


----------
UPDATE:

God is so good!

I found a first class relic of St Gerard in Newark, NJ and I called the church to inquire. I ended up having a lovely conversation with a beautiful priest (Fr Diego) and he recommended me to a CATHOLIC specialist that deals with Napro Technology www.naprotechnology.com
She comes to all their feasts and might be able to help me as she has soooo much more information at her disposal than any other Dr. that I have ever seen. I am waiting to hear back from her. I hope and pray that this is the answer to a much better pregnancy for me. I thought I would go out of my mind last night for lack of sleep. I managed to quell the fear enough to sneak in 4 fitful solid? hours which I can't imagine doing through October...

Please pray for me that I get some good solid direction. Oh yeah, the Church is mailing me a 3rd class relic package of St. Gerard and I will be visiting them reaaaalll soon for a blessing with the first class one!

Keep up the prayers! I firmly believe you wonderful people are miracle makers!


God love you!

I forgot to add, St Anne is a wonderful saint to pray to when pregnant.

Oh, I'm so excited for you Donna Marie! I agree with Anne, I like going to St. Anne. My pregnancies aren't easy either - I'll be offering up these last couple of weeks of pain and insomnia for you. Praying for your peace and for a healthy pregnancy.

Here is a wonderful prayer to Our Lady of La Leche that Ruth shared with me:

O Lord Jesus Christ, through the intercession of Your tender Mother, Our Lady of La Leche, who bore You close to her heart during those long months before Your birth, I place my baby and myself entirely in Your Hands. Free me, I beseech You, from useless and consuming worry. Accept the sacrifice of my aches and pains, which I unite to Your sufferings on the Cross. Above all, most merciful and loving Jesus, protect this child You have given to me from all harm, bestowing the health and vigor every baby needs. Implant in my heart and on my lips the words and prayers of Your Mother and mine, our Lovely Lady of La Leche. All this I ask that my child and I may live to praise forever Your Holy Name. Amen.

Congrats Donna Marie... I will be praying. I barely sleep when I am pregnant and in my last two have had instances of my throat closing and not being able to breathe. I know how scary it is. I will pray.
