Kimberly, a young mom, reached out to us to share her pregnancy loss story. She was prescribed what she was told was Plan B after suddenly stopping her usual hormonal contraceptive. After taking the pill, however, Kimberly realized that the drug she had been given was actually Ella. After doing some research, she realized that Ella, unlike Plan B, is a progesterone receptor blocker; it works the same way as the abortion drug mifepristone. "I ... would never have taken it if I would have known prior," Kimberly told us. She later discovered she was pregnant, which compounded her anxiety. Did taking Ella harm her preborn child? Kimberly began diligently monitoring her HCG levels, getting labs taken multiple times in a week. To her dismay, her levels of the pregnancy hormone were not increasing as they should in a healthy pregnancy. Less than two weeks after discovering her pregnancy, Kimberly tragically miscarried her child. Women deserve to know how Ella works so they can make informed decisions for themselves and their family.

Name Above All Names: “When pregnant, the cells of the baby migrate into the mothers bloodstream and then circle back into the baby, it’s called “fetal-maternal microchimerism”. For 41 weeks, the cells circulate and merge backwards and forwards, and after the baby is born, many of these cells stay in the mother’s body, leaving a permanent imprint in the mothers tissues, bones, brain, and skin, and often stay there for decades. Every single child a mother has afterwards will leave a similar imprint on her body, too. Even if a pregnancy doesn't go to full term or if you have an abortion, these cells still migrate into your bloodstream. Research has shown that if a mother's heart is injured, fetal cells will rush to the site of the injury and change into different types of cells that specialize in mending the heart. The baby helps repair the mother, while the mother builds the baby. How cool is that? This is often why certain illnesses vanish while pregnant. It’s incredible how mothers bodies protect the baby at all costs, and the baby protects & rebuilds the mother back - so that the baby can develop safely and survive. Think about crazy cravings for a moment. What was the mother deficient in that the baby made them crave? Studies have also shown cells from a fetus in a mothers brain 18 years after she gave birth. How amazing is that?” If you’re a mom you know how you can intuitively feel your child even when they are not there….Well, now there is scientific proof that moms carry them for years and years even after they have given birth to them. I find this to be so very beautiful. www.ReppnforChrist.com

What Are The Early Signs of Miscarriage? A spontaneous abortion, more commonly known as a miscarriage, is quite common in pregnancy, yet regardless of that simple truth, it remains a challenging and emotionally complex experience for women to navigate. Miscarriage is defined as pregnancy loss prior to 20 weeks. If the pregnancy lasts beyond 20 weeks but is unsuccessful, it is termed stillbirth. Anyone can have a miscarriage. The most often quoted numbers are that 10 to 20 percent of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. Now with new pregnancy tests and ultrasound, pregnancy can be diagnosed before the first missed period. When the miscarriage rate includes those fetuses lost before missing a period, the miscarriage rate increases up to 40 percent. Miscarriage before there is a beating heart is common and is usually a chromosomal mutation which doesn’t support life. These are not preventable. However, once the heart is beating, several conditions can lead to a miscarriage. Risk Factors for Miscarriage Activities like sexual intercourse and/or exercise have been believed to contribute to miscarriage, but there is no scientific evidence to suggest this.
