Getting pregnant was not an easy thing for my husband and I.  I was told right before we got married it was going to be difficult for me to get pregnant due to PCOS.  I didn’t think that would mean losing babies as well.  We decide that we weren’t going to try to prevent pregnancy due to the news from the doctor and wanting to trust God and His timing.  A year and a half after getting married we got pregnant and could not believe it, but something did not feel right.  Turns out my body wasn’t producing the hormones it needed to keep the baby and I miscarried at 7 weeks.  Two months later we found out I was pregnant again and I just knew this time was different.  I had morning sickness and all the typical pregnancy signs.  But, then one day I woke up feeling “normal” I just thought morning sickness was over.  That afternoon I started to miscarry at 9 weeks.  I couldn’t believe it was happening again.  I was heartbroken and trying to understand why I was going through another miscarriage.  But, God is faithful and even in the hard and difficult times He shows that He is good.  December of 2015 I found out I was pregnant for the 3rd time.  A lot of emotions ran through my head as I wanted to be excited, but I was nervous at the same time thinking “was my body going to be able to carry this baby this time?” As the pregnancy progressed I had relief and could finally think about how I wanted to birth this miracle I was carrying.  I always knew I wanted a natural birth, but wasn’t sure where.  After searching the area and finding out that Tricare would cover a birth at the birth center that was where I knew I wanted to delivery!
