No Such Thing as Coincidence

I don't believe there is any such thing as coincidence. I believe that all things happen for a reason. I have time and again seen things pop up on my midwifery lists that I am currently dealing with with a client, or things come up and THEN a client has that exact problem.

This morning on one of my large, international midwifery lists, someone posted about fetal bradycardia (slow heartbeat). What she described sounded exactly like what my baby is doing.

The first response that came through was a midwife who had a client with the same thing. They had put the motherbaby through the ringer with testing for all sorts of maternal and fetal diseases and finally the baby was born and there was nothing wrong with him. He's now a completely normal 1 year old boy.

I do have an undercurrent of peace. I am worried. I am concerned. But I am not frantic. If I were frantic, I would have insisted on being seen immediately, but I did not feel the need to do that.

I think those posts appeared this morning just for me. I am anxious to see the heart on the ultrasound, but if I do, I'll probably see the sex too, so I'm going to have to try not to look. That will be hard.
