I have three children already and SO DO NOT want another right now. I can't take it physically, emotionally, or mentally. The financial doesn't matter. My previous doc told my husband to make sure "she doesn't get pregnant again because" he couldn't promise I would be ok after another child. So we thought we fixed the problem by my hubby getting snipped. And no, I haven't cheated on him. I know I have to take a pregnancy test, but I am scared to death of the results... So, strangely, I am asking that people pray that I am not pregnant. I am a devout Christian and will not murder my child out of inconvenience, so if I am with child I will have to deal with it. It upsets me sometimes that I can get pregnant at the drop of a hat and I see women try for years and have their hearts broken because they can't have children. My kids are 5, 2, and 10 months. I am hoping beyond hope that I am just stressed out and that is affecting my cycle. Ericka R Lear, CMA Director, PA-NAMA Regional Director Mid-Atlantic States "Making A Difference"

I don't want you to take me the wrong way because I consider myself a Christian also. But if you are pregnant you are, and all the prayers in the world ain't gonna make it not so. So I will pray for you to deal with it if you are or if you aren't, and remember that" each day has it's own anxieties" according to Matthew 6: 24 and "not to be anxious" vs, 25. You will be fine ,and deal with whatever comes your way, there are no guarantees in this life !! We must go with the flow and trust that God will help us along the way if we are faithful. Love Marot

If you don't mind my asking, Ericka.....how old are you?? Yanno.....I have only one child....and I don't know if it's because I am such an "old fart mama".....but I don't know HOW you or anyone deals with more than one child. I hardly have the energy to be a good mama to my one?! You have 3 now that are so young.....I can relate to your feelings totally. That being said......Marot does have a valid point here, Ericka....sigh. It's too bad you don't know someone that's very close to you and can't have children.....could you ever be a surrogate? Just trying to think here.....sigh. PLEASE.....come here often and at least get some support! I promise to check daily since Sharon can't be here......trying to keep an eye out! I'm sending positive thoughts (or negative......whatever the case may be, lol)....and prayers! smoooooooch........Carol CAROL SHOLITON President/CEO METHADONE SUPPORT ORG. http://www.MethadoneSupport.org Carol@MethadoneSupport.org COME CHECK OUT OUR MAIN WEBSITE!!!!

I am very grateful that Len took care of the issue awhile ago, but still...it scares me that there's even a possibility! I am 31 Carol, and three kids is very stressful, but very worth the effort! I have thought of being a surrogate. I always said if my sister-in-law Sara couldn't have kids I'd carry them for her. But as of now, she's 3 months pregnant! YAY! So, sorry I panicked, but I needed to freak out somewhere! God bless- Ericka R Lear, CMA Director, PA-NAMA Regional Director Mid-Atlantic States "Making A Difference"

I was wondering what was going on with you. I agree, 3 kids are hard to deal with!! Mine are all adults now so them days are over for me. It's nice to have all of your children before 30, like I did, so when you get to be my age,52,you are still young enough to really enjoy life without them!! LOL!! Love, Marot
