Cancer discovered thanks to pregnancy
On Dec. 1, 2011, I underwent an emergency C-section. Mysterious pain brought me into the emergency room, and it was discovered that I was experiencing a partial placental abruption….
I now know that it was pain from the cancer growing inside me that brought me to the emergency room that day. It was the cancer that alerted us to the fact that our little girl was about to lose her source of nourishment.
It was the cancer that saved her life. And she saved mine, too. If I hadn’t become pregnant, the cancer — a typically asymptomatic type — likely would not have been discovered until it had spread much further.

This is a very heartwarming story.
Precious.
I am so very thankful to be on the side of LIFE!!
Thank you Lord for opening my eyes!
God bless that family. There is a reason for everything, and this is a beautiful story.
Glad they’re both ok! Sort of a scary story, with how easily that cancer could have gone undetected.
This is SO opposite to “abortion to save the life of a mother” on all levels! Wonderful!
The saying that ‘The lord works in mysterious ways’ is never more true than in this story. It is stories like this that we enjoy listening too, its just a shame that they are too few
