In 2011 I was very happy when I realized I was pregnant. However, during my second month of pregnancy I started bleeding. The symptoms were very similar to the ones I had experienced four years before, when I had a miscarriage.
I called my husband, who was working in our carpentry, located beside our house, and he came promptly. We started to pray. We also asked a Christian Science practitioner to give us treatment through prayer. The practitioner was very solicitous and loving, and we felt reassured after talking with her. However, the bleeding didn’t stop.
Mary Baker Eddy writes in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures: “It is the mortal belief which makes the body discordant and diseased in proportion as ignorance, fear, or human will governs mortals” (p. 209). We decided to see a doctor, who told us that the embryo sac was not in the right place and recommended I be in complete bed rest. Otherwise, I could have another miscarriage.
