God's Brave Women - Carlie's Story
I’ll never forget the day I heard these words, “Your body is having a spontaneous abortion.”
At the time I was 8 months pregnant with our first child, my sweet Hannah Naomi. As I was trying to comprehend what my OBGYN had said, the room began to spin. I recall how my body felt sitting on that cold exam table, nothing but frigid air moving in and out of my chest. It was as if time was standing still. I was unable to breathe, move my body, or say a word. I remember desperately trying to speak but the words couldn’t find their way from my brain to my lips.
When my mind caught up with those seven words, a fight welled up within me that I had never felt before. A fight so strong that I yelled out, “My baby girl is going to live and not die!”
The doctor stood there stunned as I refused her diagnosis and told her I was leaving. I knew deep down inside of me that I had to stand strong and firm on the Word of God, and trust Him with this impossible situation.
