Before our first son was born I made arrangements...

From the March 1990 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Before our first son was born I made arrangements to have the delivery at home with the attendance of a qualified midwife. When the time came, however, I seemed unable to forward the birth. Finally the midwife said that she would no longer be responsible for the case unless I was taken to the hospital. The child was born there.

I felt I had not done enough in the prayerful preparation before the birth but had left it all to the Christian Science practitioner whom I had asked to help me through prayer. I felt it would always be too late to feel right about the birth. Nevertheless, I am convinced that both my son and I came through the experience safely because of the conscientious prayers of the practitioner.

A year and a half later I became pregnant again, but early in the pregnancy I had a miscarriage. Serious physical effects of the miscarriage were completely healed through Science, and I prayed all the more earnestly in the following months.
