Being preggie!

There's a story that lies behind my pregnancy.

We never expected to have kids this fast, immediately the month after we got married! We were still tired and worn out with the celebration, honeymoon and getting back to work. It was tedious for the both of us and we rarely had quality time together. So, we did intend to spend the approaching holidays well!

My husband is the only and firstborn son in his family. Though i knew that his parents really hoped for grandchildren asap, i was astonished to find out that they doubted my fertility due to my slim figure. Quoting from my husband, he was told to feed me with better nutritions or i might have trouble conceiving. Gosh, i was quite depressed hearing that, moreover only being married for two weeks then! Its not like ive been married for ages and havent shown any signs of pregnancy!

However, that did not deprive my faith - thank God. I started praying, not for children at that time, but for defence. I remember repeating two verses in particular in my prayers:

"God is close to the broken hearted"
"The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?" Psalm 27:1

Life goes on as usual. There was a moment when i started to feel hungry more often and had gastric problems. Because my monthly period was late as well, so i did a test at home. And since the lines were negative, pregnancy didnt cross my mind. But we still decided to go to the gynae for a check up because i was spotting.

The gynae confirmed no pregnancy, my womb was empty but he did a blood test just to be double sure before prescribing me medications to foster period. "Call back in a couple of days to check on your result before taking the medicine", he said.

So i did as told. To my surprise, he congratulated me for i was pregnant, positive, 5 weeks looking from my prolactin and beta hcg levels. I was stunned with thanksgiving!

It really felt like God has answered my prayers. He delivered me from man's judgement! I couldnt have asked for more, but He gave me more! Truly, "He is able to do far more abundantly beyond all we ask or think." Eph 3:20. I'm carrying twins! (Ps: we do not have any twin records throughout the generations we know of)
