Hi Jess,
I can relate to how you feel. I know that you feel lonely right now but your not alone. I know that it's hard to understand now but you will eventually get through the pain and understand that you have the personal strength through Christ to do anything.
Some times desperation is a blessing that God gives us because it will draw us into a closer relationship with Him. I know for me dealing with a unplanned pregnancy was definitely a shock and it was one of the most difficult situations that I had ever had to deal with. The only person that I knew to call on who would be there for me completely and give me the love that I needed, the support and the comfort was God.
God loves you more than you could ever imagine, don't forget that. You just have to call on God, ask Him for the strength to get you through this and I promise He will. I will be praying for you. I'm glad that you felt encouraged, that is what were here for. Please feel free to email me any time I would be more than happy to talk with you.
Before I sign off, I really think you should find a friend or a family member to talk to. Pray about this, ask God to help you and you will find someone that you can confide in that will help you through this process. Of course we are always here for you but I know that it's easier when you have someone who can go with you to appointments or be there for you when you need a shoulder. Please continue to keep us upated. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

God Bless,

I haven't been to the doctor because I don't have insurance and I've seen some of these pregnancy centers around here but I am afraid of them. I took 3 home pregnancy test and they all came back positive. I guess I was trying to cancel them out. :-(
I guess I should do more research on the centers here. I'm starting to realize that I need to make the right decisions fast. I'm worried because I also have fibroid tumors and I remember being told that if I ever got pregnant it might be a difficualt pregnancy because the tumors would grow along with the baby. I have been very sick already. Is this normal? I read Shelly's story today and it gave me some encouragement. But, I'm very stressed. I contacted the father the other day and it was horrible. I'm all alone in this and trying to make it.
I guess thats what I get for not keeping my commitment to God. I grew up in the church and my relatationship with my finance-- oh,my ex drew me away, but we were engaged so I just knew things would be better soon when we got married.

HI Jess,

Sorry, I just read the post you made on the third but I didn't see this one.
I can't write a lot right now but I just wanted to tell you that God never lets go of us ever! All you have to do is confess your sin and God will forgive you. That is the most important step because then you can begin to forgive yourself.
God loves you Jess no matter what. Go to Him and let him know your needs, He will help you. Having my child brought me back to God in a much closer way, it was a true blessing. God will help you through this! If you want me to help find a crisis pregnancy center I will need your city and state or atleast your state so that I can get a list of centers. I will post them here for you or email them to you. Just send me an email or post.

If you go to a crisis pregnancy center they will help you with healthcare. I believe they will see if you qualify for state insurance like medicaid. I'm sure you will because you are a single mom. So, its really a good idea to go. YOu can also go to your local social services department and see what they can offer but I believe that the pregnancy center can feel out the proper paperwork to send to Social services so that you want have to go there. I know they do in my state but I'm not sure if they do where you live.

Take care,
Lori
