Tips

Life is Full of Surprises

Icon_tip_5

If you’re one of the many women facing a surprise pregnancy, you’re probably feeling a flood of emotions—perhaps shock, fear, anger or grief. Leslie Leyland Fields, author of Surprise Child: Finding Hope in Unexpected Pregnancy, experienced such a surprise.

Already a mother of four and a full-time professor, Fields became pregnant with child number five. Shortly after that birth, Fields was pregnant with her sixth child. She and her husband had been taking measures to prevent pregnancy, and Fields was in her forties, so the unexpected pregnancies left her reeling.

“My family’s life is more expansive and filled with more love than before. Every child is irreplaceable,” she says. “As you make room for this coming child, believe that the love she will bring and create will compensate for every pain and depletion now.”

Fields recommends these tips for finding joy in any pregnancy, planned or not:

  • Follow your baby’s development. Look regularly at Lennart Nillson’s book, A Child is Born. It’s “a beautiful photographic record of each stage of growth.”
  • Don’t worry about your appearance. Remember that “your body is perfectly capable of returning to its pre-pregnancy size and weight.”
  • Keep your eyes on the prize. You’re making “a new, small person who adores you, who will teach you the full meaning of love.”

I made a promise to tell my testimony all over the globe once my man come back to me and my husband came just as DR abaka told me when he helped me. I made the right choice to have contacted DR abaka the great spell caster who is capable of helping you solve your problems. My man left me to suffer and i never believed that he will come back to me again but when i contacted DR abaka he assured me that my man will come again. he gave me some list of items to buy but i could not get them in my country and so i sent him the money and he bought the items and prepared the perfect love spell. My husband ran back to me in 3 days time begging for forgiveness THIS IS SO REAL AND GENUINE. NO SCAMS. I was so surprise that the spell worked just as he told me. This is so amazing and i want you to believe because DR abaka is so real and i urge you contact him now on his email so that he can also help you the way he helped me. email is Drabakaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also contact him with his phone number on whats app +2349063230051 you can also check and contact him on htpp://Drabakaspelltemple.blogspot.com

My husband seek for divorce with no reasons for almost 4 years and i tried all i could to have him back cos i really love him so much but all my effort didn't work out, we met at our early age in college and we both have feelings for each other and we got married happily for 5 years with no kid and he woke up one morning and he told me he’s going on a divorce, i thought it was a joke and when he came back from work he tender to me a divorce letter and he packed all his belonging from my house and left. i was devastated and i tried all i could to have him back but all did not work. I was lonely for almost 4 years, So i contacted a man who says he is a spell caster and i told the spell caster what happened he said he will help me and he asked for his full name and his picture. I gave him that. At first i was skeptical but i gave it a try cos i have tried so many spell casters and there is no solution, so when he finished with the readings, he got back to me that he’s with a woman and that woman is the reason why he left me, The spell caster said he will help me with a spell that will surely bring him back, but i never believe all this he told me i will see a positive result within 3 days. 3 days later, he called me himself and came to me apologizing and he told me he will come back home. I can't believe this, it was like a dream cos i never believe this will work out after trying many spell casters and there is no solution. The spell caster is so powerful and after that he helped me with a pregnancy spell and i got pregnant a month later, we are now happy been together again and with lovely kid. This spell caster has really changed my life and i will forever thankful to him, he has helped many of my friends too with similar problem and they are happy and thankful to him. This man is indeed the most powerful spell caster i have ever experienced in life. Am Posting this to the Forum in case there is anyone who has similar problem and still looking for a way out. you can reach him here: website Link EMAIL: marvelspelltemple@gmail.com or on +2348071660388
