What Losing Three Babies Taught Me About God // The Nona Jones Show // Episode 6

Every year, approximately 5 million women become pregnant in the United States. And every year, 1 million of those women experience the devastation of miscarriage before 20 weeks of pregnancy. Another 20,000 women lose their babies in stillbirth, which is categorized as pregnancy loss after 20 weeks. I have experienced both and, today, I want to share what losing three babies taught me about God.

    Thank you for your testimony. I lost 6 babies between 1995-2002 with my first husband. He passed in 05. I remarried in 2013. I’ve never been pregnant again and now I’m considered menopausal 😢 my husband and I have legal custody of a sibling set of toddlers. They’ve brought so much joy to our lives yet our hearts still desire to have children of our own. Please pray for us and thanks again for sharing. Be blessed ❤

    Thank you, Nona. I too lost my first baby. It happened as I buried my mum who was my best friend. So I lost my mum and baby in the same period. It was a dark time for sure. I will never forget it. I was so confused and disappointed in the Lord because I knew He could have stopped it. He was with me that entire period and slowly I opened my heart up to receive His love and goodness. When my heart and body was healed, The Lord blessed us with a healthy happy handsome baby Boy. I thank God for this episode because I remember looking for such testimonies during that time and hardly found any. I try to share my testimony to help other women out there. Please let us not suffer in silence. God bless you Nona

    I had an ectopic pregnancy in 2016 after trying for 5 years. This was a massive loss for me because I also lost both of my f.tubes. I have already tried 3 rounds of ivf without any success. My husband used to be supportive but now I guess he is tired too, he has said some hurtful words so much that I'm almost giving up my marriage. I'm trying to fight for my marriage only because I love God.

    I am an angel mom! I am gearing up for my 5th cycle of IVF, after losing our daughter Autumn Faith at 7 wks, 3 days. I have a poem about My Purpose Beyond My Womb! I just performed this at a Mother's Day event this past weekend & you are correct there is power in sharing. I am believing God for a full-term healthy pregnancy, healthy delivery & healthy baby. I want to thank you so much for your ministry & transparency! I know your freedom to speak about this or anything isn't easy but God!

    Not me in tears 😭 I hid so much of my pregnancy and birth trauma for years I had 3 miscarriages and 2 preemies I had the worst mental breakdown in the NICU with my son and the same after my daughter. Just listening to this lets me know it’s still a part of me that needs Jesus to heal the trauma thats associated with this ! 😭😭 Thank you for sharing this

    Sometimes we get no real answers from GOD as to why this and that occur. That is the devastating thing. WHY? WHY? Despite having no answers we still have to PRAY, FLEX THE FAITH MUSCLE AND CONTINUE TO BELIEVE THAT HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT AND ALL THINGS ARE WORKING OUT FOR OUR GOOD!!!! but it’s tough without the HOLY SPIRIT.

    I just want to thank God for placing this on your heart to share, for such a time as this, as well as your obedience in sharing something so personal. It puts you in a position to have to relive all those moments and feel all the things you felt in that time so thank you Nona for your vulnerability! This literally came right on time for me as I suffered a miscarriage in 2017 which led to me having to have a D&C on 5/11/17. That year it was the day before Mother’s Day and it’s the same for this year. The Lord showed me I was going to miscarry but I wasn’t connected to him like I should to know it was his grace. I am currently going through therapy now to heal from it and just yesterday handed over my grief, pain, disappointment, anger, jealousy, and envy over to him in exchange for a promise. I’m blessed that God is turning the day from being a bad memory into a good one in that my best friends wedding dress try on is on the same day. God is so good! I don’t know why he allowed me to experience the loss of my baby but I truly believe God had a purpose and has a plan. And I’m thankful we can be of encouragement for each other as he would want us to be! Thank you to all the ladies on here sharing as well. Your stories are healing to me in ways you couldn’t imagine! I’m not alone, we’re not alone! I love you all and so does God! Thank you for that prayer Nona! It blessed my heart ♥️

    Thank you so much for sharing your story and the details. I've lost 4 babies who I will see one day in heaven. Very painful times. Ive even blocked out some of it from my memory...not intentionally. I can praise God for giving me 2 children on this earth. One will be 25 in 2 months, the other 16 on Mother's Day this Sunday. I dont understand it all, but I know God is faithful. 🙏🏾💙❤

    Amen. Thank you. I have had 4 miscarriages. The last one was January 6, 2024, at 15 weeks. It was horrible. My cervix opened up. Up to this day, I still feel like I am going through the effects of it. I happened to come upon this video, I wasn't even looking for it. It just popped up. It was God as I just felt down and lost tonight and wasn't sleepy, then when I saw it I just decided to listen. I don't have children yet. Please pray for me. The Doctor said I'll have to be monitored the next time I do get pregnant so that I can have a cerclage. There are times I just have to hold back tears seeing people pregnant, I just feel down out of the blue and just have sooo many questions for God.

    Waiting in God to bless me with a positive test one day. Diagnosed as infertile but I know He will open my womb if/when I’m meant to have children. Praying for all who’ve lost their unborn children or those who haven’t been able to conceive as yet. The grief is real on all ends for sure ❤️‍🩹

    Thank you for your courage and commitment to sharing your story, Nona.

I am so thankful for your obedience to this topic and I pray your channel flourishes even more so. Xoxo

    Thank you so much for you transparency. It is hard to grieve with those who have never experienced this. It’s tough when it’s happened multiple times and you meet people who tell you “you’d make a wonderful mom why don’t you have children?” And of course it’s innocently asked but it cuts deep. Thank you for providing a safe place to grieve. ❤

    Thank you for sharing. I had 2 miscarriages & then got pregnant. It wasn’t expected or planned as my husband was told it was unlikely he could conceive. Our daughter Alissa was born at 33 weeks with an emergency c-section. She had a rare condition Hydrops Fetalis & I had mirror syndrome. Unbeknownst to me it was necessary to deliver to save my life. She was my husband’s first living biological child. She was in the NICU for 3 weeks fighting for her life. She passed in his arms on Father’s day 2013. 😢 We have both wrestled with it over the years as we prayed, spoke the word over her, etc. The outcome wasn’t what we had hoped yet we know she no longer suffers. My husband still struggles with it & this year, 11 years later, her home coming date will be on Father’s day again. 🙏🏼 We know the pain of this loss. We are thankful she is Home & without pain but we miss her!

    I’m so glad to hear about moms that beat IC. My first was still born at 20 weeks “Turner’s syndrome”. Second born full term “he’s 9 now”. Third born at 23 weeks “ she is 8 now” did not know about my IC that happen due to my doctor damaging cervix with my son. Forth baby cerclage at 16 weeks it failed daughter was born at 22 weeks, she passed away at 3 weeks old. A year latter pregnant with twins, flew across US at 12 weeks had trans abdominal cerclage placed and guess what. Delivered twins at 19 weeks, contractions it failed. I know God didn’t fail my husband and I I’m so much better now, I thank him for my 2 babies that he has blessed my husband and I with. And I live everyday loving in them. The desire to have more kids is there but you know what. I just love on my babies more. I’m glad you shared your story, we are not alone.

    Love the vulnerability of this episode. I've had a miscarriage and was later diagnosed with PCOS and haven't had a pregnancy since. Most days Im ok with that but some days especially when people ask me why I haven't had them or if I want them I do get in my feelings about it.

    I have 3 angels babies and one here on earth who wasn’t supposed to make it according to the doctors. He was my first and we went through nec. While he was in the nicu for 8 moths 3 days. Now I’m married and the last 3 pregnancies were lost but I didn’t think I could even get pregnant again. But God! I know that if it’s going to happen or not it is in Gods plan and Gods time. ❤

    I have the same experience where my cervix opened but the dr choose twice not to stitch me even with having sons at 24 weeks and 30 weeks, he assumed I would make it and I didn’t. It hurt so bad to learn my only daughter and first natural delivery would end in loss.
