Infection during pregnancy healed

Bonnie Stitt Jannasch with contributions from Karl Nichols Jannasch

A number of years ago, when I was expecting the birth of our third child, I had an opportunity to prove that we do not need to be afraid of a medical diagnosis since God’s law is the only law governing us.

During the last trimester, the physician informed me at a routine exam that I had an infection that could be harmful to the child at birth. This physician had attended the birth of our second child and knew that I was a Christian Scientist. He voiced his concern, but agreed to let me pray for a solution, without my taking medication.

A few weeks later he sent my husband, Karl, and me a detailed reprint of an article from a medical journal describing the disease, its effects, and how it could be treated. He asked us to meet with him. He explained how serious the condition was and the problems it could present to our unborn child. He said that he would need to deliver the child at a hospital equipped to handle infants in distress.
