Ultrasounds..Safe? or Seriously harmful?
"It is ironic that women who have had previous miscarriages often have additional ultrasound examinations in order to "reassure" them that their baby is developing properly. Few are told of the risks of miscarriage or premature labour or birth."
-Beverley Lawrence Beech,
Ultrasound: Weighing the Propaganda Against the Facts
In my gut I always had this sense that ultrasounds were not as "safe" as I was led to believe. Before getting an ultrasound do your research! To have an ultrasound IS to be subjecting yourself and your unborn baby to non-ionizing radiation.
Is there a time where an Ultrasound is warranted? There may be..But make sure the tech only uses an abdominal probe not the transvaginal probe, and make sure the ultrasound is done quickly therefore minimizing the exposure.
Ultrasound: More Harm than Good Remember that an ultrasound is a flawed man-made device that can be as acurate as carbon dating (which is Not accurate at all!)
Adoption, a child born in your Heart
It's true I have nine wonderful children and all but one I have conceived and born. However it's our sixth child who came to us in his desperate time of need...who has taught me so much. His mom passed away leaving him alone he was only four. So much to deal with at such a young age. My husband and I let the Lord lead us into taking him into our lives and our home. I too was raised by a family that was not my birth family, so now I have the view of the adopted parent as well as the child. It has taught me alot. He needed us and I needed him :) I am so blessed to have him in our home and thank the Lord for him.
Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Galations 4:5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Am I??? the joys and frustrations of pregnancy tests :0
