Why is it that people want to call every baby a gift from God? If that were true, why have so many women and babies died during childbirth? Is their gift death?
The March of Dimes recommends that women over 35 not conceive. The odds of a miscarriage, birth defects, and complications increase dramatically.
My coworker is 37. She has 2 children by two men and never been married. She has claimed to have been pregnant twice more by two more men since I've known her but lost both babies. Her alleged medical conditions are extensive. I use the word "alleged" because her stories have been known to contradict. Cervical cancer, not once, but twice. Heart condituon, thyroid disorder, hypoglycemic, and many, many other issues that randomly pop up then go away.
Now she is engaged to yet another man and pregnant with his kid. One of my other coworkers called it "divine intervention". Are you kidding me? The odds of her carrying this baby safely to term are slim. Is that a gift from God or just irresponsibility on her part? We will find out in March, if not before. Until then, all we can do is hope for the best.
