i have asked for prayers a few months ago. i lost my daughter 8 months ago at 39 weeks, almost died delivering her. suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from that awful day. I am 19 weeks pregnant and very worried about this baby and my health. today i woke up not feeling well, but continued with my day. I was cleaning and when i held the broom in my left hand, it started to shake uncontrollably. i have weakness in my arm and when i hold something in my hand, i start to shake. i have had one thing after another go wrong ever since losing our daughter. everything has always come out fine, but this symptom stumps me. i feel so beaten down and i have felt like God has been ignoring me ever since I lost my baby. i feel so alone. i have 3 small children to take care of.
i just ask for prayers. maybe God will listen to one of you. i pray that something will give, that something will go right. every time i have felt peaceful and hopeful, something bad happens. i am afraid to think positively because i am worried what else bad can happen?
thank you.

GET TO THE DOCTOR NOW! These symptoms are nothing to mess with. I mean it!

Meanwhile, I will pray for you.
 
Praying for you, my dear sister. My story is similar to yours, and I know the feelings you’re experiencing. May our Blessed Mother put her arms around you, and be ever present in your home, giving you strength and reassurance, helping you to accomplish your work with peace.

Have you talked to your doctor about the anxiety and PTSD? There are treatments and safe medications available if you’re up to trying them.

With love,
Mary

Luke 12:22 He said to (his) disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life and what you will eat, or about your body and what you will wear.

23 For life is more than food and the body more than clothing.

24 Notice the ravens: they do not sow or reap; they have neither storehouse nor barn, yet God feeds them.** How much more important are you than birds!
**
25 Can any of you by worrying add a moment to your lifespan?

26 If even the smallest things are beyond your control, why are you anxious about the rest?

27 Notice how the flowers grow. They do not toil or spin. But I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of them.

28 If God so clothes the grass in the field that grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow,** will he not much more provide for you, O you of little faith? :extrahappy:
**
29 As for you, do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, and do not worry anymore.

30 All the nations of the world seek for these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31 Instead, seek his kingdom, and these other things will be given you besides.

32 Do not be afraid any longer, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

This is a freedom scripture for you lilbits4. Even though you are not worried about silly things but about real things that have happened before.

Still, though you may FEEL God has abandoned you, He has not. AND you are still thinking of Him even WITH your abandoned feelings. Give yourself credit for strong faith.

What is to happen we will find out. Prepare for anything, then have peace about it.

Verse 25 even refers to our lifespans. In the end, we die. But that time is not NOW.
It could be soon, but if you are reading this, apparently God still has work for you here - and rest assured He has things under control.

You seem like quite a holy person to me. You have had a tough cross in the past and are still suffering from the effects of it – even though THAT cross is behind you. You are caring for others each day which must please God immensely. You are in a place where
your faith is being tested - but have been found worthy of the test.

You are a life giver. You’ve done it before. You are doing it now, and not just with your unborn child. You might feel like a garbage can sometimes (the devil is allowed to tempt us all that way) but you are a treasure chest.

I am praying for you today, and your little one, and your other children and the rest of your family (husband, parents etc.).

It may also be a time to arm yourself with the armor of God. Since you are doing all the right things anyway … you may as well do them with more power and confidence. Though, I’m happy to sympathize with you - and hope you are refreshed by the rest stop here.

How wise you are to come to a place where the body of Christ can pray for you, counsel you and be inspired by you, a Christian on the front line and taking enemy fire. Thank you lilbits! 🙂

**PUT ON THE ARMOR OF GOD (one of my favorite scriptures)

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power.

11 Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to **stand firm against the tactics of the devil.

12 For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens.
**
13 Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground.

14 So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate,

15 and your feet shod in readiness for the gospel of peace.

**16 In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all (the) flaming arrows of the evil one. :knight1:
**
17 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, :knight2: which is the word of God.

18 With all prayer and supplication,*** pray at every opportunity in the Spirit.*** :gopray2: To that end, be watchful with all perseverance and supplication for all the holy ones

19 and also for me, that speech may be given me to open my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel

20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, so that I may have the courage to speak as I must.
**
 
God loves you and would never ignore you, my friend. I am praying for you and for the child you are carrying now. May our sweet Lord give you comfort and peace and may you always know that He is there with you. ((hugs))

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen

If this weakness in your arm is a new symptom I would advise you to immediately call your Dr. Please don’t ignore this or chalk it up to PTSD without having it checked out. I don’t want to alarm you, but sudden weakness in an extremity can signify something serious is going on.
 
I will keep you in my prayers.
I know it’s difficult, but after consultation with a doctor, try to leave it in our Lord’s hands.
God Bless You.
 
** I can very much understand your stress and anxiety, but please try to relax ! All this stress can’t be good for your baby. Call the Dr. and find out what is going on with your left side, letting a symptom like that go isn’t a good idea. All this worry is making your pregnancy harder, and all this stress is surrounding your forming baby. Talk to your Dr. so you can know and fix if there is something going on, and don’t be in fear and worry about all kinds of things that may not even be. I, like others, have been praying for you on your original post, I will keep praying for you there.

Holy Mother, please intercede for us.
Aid the helpless, strengthen the fearful,
hold the sorrowful, help those sick, in pain or suffering,
comfort those needing peace, console the lonely,
assist the lost or hopeless, guard the unborn,
protect those in danger, guide us from evil,
pray for those who are dying or who have died;
may all who keep your sacred
commemoration experience the might of your assistance.
Amen. **
 
Fear is useless. A study has shown that 97% of the time what we worry about doesn’t happen. Take positive action now. Please call your doctor’s office & tell them your symptoms. You need to take care of your self now! That is what your family needs you to do. Please call the doctor & let us know that you were taken care of. Sending you our love & prayers. Have a blessed day.
 
O Sacred heart of Jesus hear our prayers
for our frightened sister
O Sacred Heart of Jesus grant her peace

Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee
blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus
Holy Mary mother of God
pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death
Amen
 
I will inlcude you in my Rosary tonight!!

SACRED HEART OF JESUS and IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY, I commend to you this young and expectant mother, please guard her, guide her and protet gher, may she deliver this precious child safely and without harm!!
 
I am praying so very hard for you, your baby, and your pregnancy!!! Sweet friend, your hurt is so palpable. Please continue to have faith in our loving Father.

I am by no means a doctor, but I wanted to mention… One thing that I thought of when reading your post: During my pregnancy with my daughter, I had carpal tunnel so bad that I couldn’t even hold a pen. I had no grip strength whatsoever and my arm would also shake from time to time… it went away after the birth. I thought I would pass that along just in case you wanted to get that looked into. Apparently it is not uncommon.
 
For 4lilbits,
At this Hour of Divine Mercy, you are very much in my prayers!

Every day I need you Lord, but this day especially,
I need some extra strength to face whatever is to be.
This day more than any day I need to feel You near,
to fortify my courage and to overcome my fear.
By myself, I cannot meet the challenge of the hour.
There are times when humans help, but we need a higher power
to assist us in bearing what must be borne. And so dear Lord, I pray,
hold on to my trembling hand and be near me today. + Amen.
 
thank you all. i ended up seeing my family practitioner. there were no red flags but nothing concrete to explain, other than anxiety and that i was doing yard work (which i never do) and might have fatigued the arm.
it is feeling better. i have good strength just weakness, which i had a lot of arm weakness a few months ago when i was really anxious. i guess i am starting all this over again.
i am afraid to think positively and not worry because each time i have done that (felt peaceful and hopeful) some new symptom would come up. i have had a myriad of symptoms that do not relate to each other and don’t make sense and are not serious. its hard to relax, but i am trying so hard for this baby’s sake and for my husband and children.
i appreciate the prayers and support. thank you.
