Testimonies of Healing

My baby was born perfect

From The Christian Science Journal - January 1, 2013

First appeared in the January 2013 issue of The Herald of Christian Science. Originally written in Portuguese.


When I first began studying Christian Science, in the first months of pregnancy of my first child, a medical diagnosis showed that the pregnancy was not developing in a normal way because of a problem in the placenta, which prevented the baby from being appropriately nurtured. 

Faced with the diagnosis, the doctor decided to wait 15 days. And if the problem persisted, an abortion would be necessary. According to the doctor, this was the normal procedure in such cases.

I was very sad about this diagnosis. In no way would I consider an abortion.
