Another Successful VBAC

How exciting to see another couple enjoy the fulfillment of their desires to have a vaginal birth after cesarean! Today, I witness a beautiful natural birth. The birth mother's first labor was 52 hours and ended in c-section. This time the parents prayed, educated themselves and prepared for the birth of their second child. This time the labor was less than 11 hours long and mom gave birth with absolutely no problems. I know that it doesn't always go this way, but how exciting to know that it can.

Ike and First Birth Ministries

I want to thank many of you who have texted, emailed or called to see if I was ok. Yes, I am doing very well. I rode the storm out with eight of my children and held my precious, Michael Samuel in my arms through most of the hurricane. I felt blessed of the Lord to have almost my entire family with me. It was more like a slumber party, eating , laughing, etc. Of course, the sober time came and all I knew to do was deposit my faith in the Lord that we would make it. Because of Michael Samuel's needs, I enjoyed air conditioning, refrigerator and tv during the storm as we rode it out in Pearland. There was tree damage on the property but all was well afterwards. By Sunday night my electricity, internet and Comcast was back on in Friendswood. Even now most areas are still out in my area. God is good.As I left my apt., I had prayed specifically for the tall pine tree and the utility pole that could easily fall on my apt. The first thing that I noticed in driving back is that they were still standing, but the tree a few feet over had fallen within inches on the apt. next door to mine. This was another proof to me that God hears our specific prayers.One of our FBM babies was born the morning the hurricane was leaving us. This mother wisely checked into the hospital the night before when she felt like she might be in labor. This was an extremely high risk situation and God was good to protect this little guy and bring him safely into the world.Another answered prayer was that all the computers and equipment for both FBM and GHT were completely protected. I am so thankful and am available to help any expectant couple that now needs my help. Love to you all and thank you so much for loving me and praying for me and this ministry.P.S. I was in labor myself at this very hour 38 yrs. ago. I was begging for the epidural and (you'll love this) I was only 2 cm.!
