Health Books about pregnancy


What is pregnancy?

Pregnancy is the carrying of one or more embryos or fetuses by female mammals, including humans, inside their bodies. In a pregnancy there can be multiple gestations (for example, in the case of twins, or triplets). Human pregnancy is the most studied of all mammalian pregnancies.

Human pregnancy lasts approximately 40 weeks between the time of the last menstrual cycle and birth (38 weeks from fertilisation). The medical term for a pregnant woman is "genetalian," just as the medical term for the unborn human is an embryo (early weeks) and then "foetus" (until birth). A woman who is pregnant for the first time is known as a primigravida or gravida 1: a woman who has never been pregnant is known as a gravida 0; similarly, the terms para 0, para 1 and so on are used for the number of times a woman has given birth.

In many societies' medical and legal definitions, human pregnancy is arbitrarily divided into three trimester periods, as a means to simplify reference to the different stages of fetal development. The first trimester period carries the highest risk of miscarriage (natural death of embryo or fetus), while during the second trimester the development of the fetus can start to be monitored and diagnosed. The third trimester marks the beginning of viability, which means the fetus can survive if an early natural or induced birth occurs. Because of the possible viability of developed fetus, cultural and legal definitions of life often consider a fetus in the third trimester to be a distinct living person.

Through The TRUTHS Shared in This Book, 4 Miracle Children Have Been Born To My Sister In Law(3) and Myself (1)!
I was first introduced to Jackie Mize's ministry by a tape cassete a sister in Christ gave me.
I listened to it, and gave it to my sister in law Sue Yin.

Doctors had told Sue Yin there was NO WAY she could ever get pregnant because she was 'deformed' inside.
They even scheduled her for a hysterectomy.
Her hysterectomy was called off-because they found HER TO BE PREGNANT! She now has 3 sons.

Years passed.
I weakened in my faith as miscarriage after miscarriage took my children from me. (After 5 miscarriages I was numb from heartache I stopped counting them I wouldn't even pray for children anymore, I just prayed, please GOD, NO MORE MISCARRIAGES!)...

Doctors had told me NOT to get pregnant after a dnc following a miscarriage because I might die...

Then I found this book...HOW I THANKED GOD for this surprise! I didn't know it had been made into a book.
GOD used it to build up my faith to TRUST in HIS WORD again.

To GOD be all the Glory! I had NO MORE MISSCARRIAGES!
AND my husband, and family have been blessed with a beautiful and healthy! baby boy. Joseph Elisha is 1 year and 5 months old.
HALLELUJAH!

I thank GOD HE cares, hears, and answers prayers.
I thank GOD HE brought Jackie Mize (a sister in Christ) who had studied HIS WORD and TRUSTED HIM and found HIM FAITHFUL to share HIS blessings with us.

for those looking for the tape cassette:
Go to Jackie Mize's husbands' website: www.terrymizeministries.org

Do yourself a favor...Do someone you love a favor...
Do anyone who wants to be a parent a favor:
Get This Book!
And to those who say this book ISN'T Scriptural,
"ye know not what spirit ye are of."
What a blessing!!!
Thank you for this book! It is truly wonderful! I believe it will bless any woman, trying to get pregnant, currently pregnant, or who has had children already. It can be applied to life too! If you confess with your mouth the Word of God and believe it in your heart, anything is possible in pregnancy and in any life situation! I will surely be passing this book on to others!!
Be careful what you pray for!
I learned so much from this book. With my first child, I was in labor for 13 hours (including 3 hours of pushing), and resorted to an epidural after my midwife insisted that we use pitocin to "speed things up." I also had an internal tear that required several stitches, which I believe could have been avoided had we allowed things to progress more naturally.

I read this book when I was pregnant with my second child, and what I learned made such a huge difference! I prayed for "no medical intervention" (thinking I didn't want pitocin or an epidural) and labor that lasted less than two hours. What I got: One hour and 50 minutes after my first contraction, the baby was born on my bathroom floor before the paramedics even arrived--my husband had to "catch" the baby! For whatever reason, I just didn't grasp the concept that God would answer my prayers so faithfully, so I didn't start to get my things together to go to the hospital until contractions were 5 minutes apart. It wasn't long after that when my water broke, and less than 20 minutes later, after I was literally floored by the contractions (didn't even make it to my bed), my husband is following the 911-operator's instructions and cupping his hands as if to catch a football, despite the fact he never took a day of biology class in his life because he's so disgusted at the sight of blood. My advice: be careful what you pray for. ;)
Great!!! A must read
I am reading this book and I am loving all the info inside. I am applying the principles to my life. God will do the best. If you are a Christian and plan on becoming pregnant or are pregnant, you should read this book.
Got us through infertility and pregnancy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This book helped us so much when we were trying to have a baby!!! I recommend it highly. We now have healthy twins!
Thank you for this book.
