Imagine pregnancy as a nine month nightmare. Imagine facing daily uncertainty concerning your own life and the life of your unborn baby. Imagine taking high doses of medications that cancer patients use for nausea. Imagine a serious pregnancy condition that has no cure. Imagine Hyperemesis Gravidarum. Expecting Grace is the miraculous survival story of a pregnancy and birth that beat all odds of survival. Read about one couple's first pregnancy as they navigated multiple hospitalizations, culture shock in an unfamiliar medical system, repeated pressure to get an abortion, massive hospital and medication bills, and much more. Grieve with them through a year of devastated dreams. Experience hope during moments that will take your breath away as you read of God's miraculous hand of provision and guidance. Share in the joy of a perfectly formed baby that doctors said would never be born...and of a mother that shouldn't have survived.
