  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I was blessed with my first son, through natural fertility at 41 years of age. I am now 44 and have suffered two miscarriages since the birth of my son. I would like to have one more child to complete our family. I am resting patiently in the Lord. I am fasting for better health and to show the utmost appreciation for my husband and son. Even though the odds are not in my favor, I still have faith in the Lord to grant us one more child to lead on a righteous path.

Please pray with me.

I will pray for you, but please do see a doctor and follow his/her guidelines for having a baby at your age. After 40, I understand it can be risky, so please get a good doctor to help you.

I'll be praying for what is best for you!

All good things

Thank you! When I had my son at 41, I had an extremely easy pregnancy with a natural childbirth overseen by Christian midwives. In my state, doctors schedule an inordinately large amount of Cesarians for mothers of any age, so I have much more faith in Christian midwives. The risks for older mothers are generally associated with the viability of the fetus (hence the miscarriages), or possibility of birth defect (due to older eggs) rather than difficulty in the carrying and delivering of a healthy child. If the fetus is not viable, there is nothing that a doctor can do. It is up to God's will to choose to plant a viable fetus in my womb. May He bless me again as he once did. Amen!
