During my most recent pregnancy, I found it difficult to retain food. I hadn't experienced any such difficulty before and found the condition discouraging. My husband was the only person who knew of the problem. I sought treatment through Christian Science, and he supported my reliance on prayer.
I remember studying these lines from Science and Health: "Admit the common hypothesis that food is the nutriment of life, and there follows the necessity for another admission in the opposite direction—that food has power to destroy life, God, through a deficiency or an excess, a quality or a quantity....
"The fact is, food does not affect the absolute Life of man, and this becomes self-evident, when we learn that God is our Life."
