Health challenge after birth resolved
After recently reading several touching birth testimonies, I realized I was decades overdue in expressing gratitude for the events surrounding the birth of one of our three children.
We had chosen to work with a birth center and a midwife in a small town nearby. I explained that I was a Christian Scientist and would be relying on prayer as taught in Christian Science to support me, as well as receiving Christian Science treatment from a Christian Science practitioner. The actual birth was quick and harmonious, but afterward there seemed to be a problem with bleeding.
The midwife wanted to call in a physician, but I asked for the opportunity to pray about the situation. The midwife agreed but said that if the bleeding did not stop within thirty minutes, she would feel compelled to call in a physician. I asked my husband to call the practitioner and explain the situation.
