Have you ever received a negative medical report?

I have. It is not a pleasant experience at all, especially if you are expecting something.

Imagine telling a young lady that she has little to no chance of conceiving a child.

Introduction

I was devastated when I heard this from the doctor. I had just undergone a painful fibroid surgery and was still recuperating in the hospital. It seemed surreal. 

A week or so ago, I was happily going to work when I heard a voice in my ear that said, Go to the hospital, you have fibroids.” I ignored the voice. shook it off and continued what I was doing. 

I had a slim figure with a flat stomach, no protrusion anywhere, and no symptoms whatsoever. So, ignored it. 

The next morning, while dressing for work, the voice was more insistent this time, so I checked myself by feeling my stomach. To my utter shock and surprise, my stomach seemed full of thick, corded cables. I froze! 

In the hospital, I was told my womb was internally distended like that of a woman in her sixth month of pregnancy, but outside, nothing was showing. I was told the fibroid was spreading fast, and I needed immediate surgery. 

I went for a second opinion at another hospital and was told the same thing. The second doctor was even more alarmed, asking how I could carry such and not know. The same week, I started the process for surgery.

By the next week, I was hearing this, sitting across the first doctor on my hospital bed after the painful surgery. The medical personnel came into my room with what looked like five bloody coconuts in a small basin. That was what they took out of my body.       


The Conception

At home, I mulled over the information, moving from disbelief to anger. Angry at the situation, upset with the unfairness of it all, and frustrated with God for allowing it to happen. 

I loved children, and they loved me. Children would leave their parents and stretch out their little hands for me to carry them. I couldn’t imagine not having my own.

Suddenly, the desire to fight back rose in me. I was not going to accept this verdict. I made up my mind to have children after searching the scriptures and realizing that no woman died barren except for Micah, the daughter of Saul, who was under a curse for mocking David for the way he danced before the Lord. 

Unsure of how things will turn out for me, I decided to do something instead of nothing. With the little knowledge I had, I took the following steps, which in retrospect I now recommend;


Steps Taken to Conceive

  1. Search The Word of God: Search the scriptures for God’s promises concerning conception. I  discovered that with God there shall be no barren in the land (Exodus 23:26). The only barren woman was Micah (2 Samuel 6:23), also children are a heritage of the Lord and the fruit of the womb His reward (Psalm 127:3) that children are as arrows in the hand of a mighty mam (Psalm 127: 4) and any man with children can speak with the enemies in the gate (Psalm 127:5).
  2. Build Up Your Faith: Work on your belief system and increase the quantity and quality of your prayers by using Bible verses to pray. Consistently pray in the Spirit by speaking in tongues.
  3. Read Relevant Books: Read books and resources that speak to your situation. A friend gifted me with the book, “Supernatural Childbirth” by Jackie Mize. It was a game changer. I got a mental shift. The book was helpful; I learned that you have spare body parts with your name on them in God's storehouse in heaven. Sounds weird, but I asked for a new womb, which I got. The doctor confirmed that after the cesarean section. 
  4. Understand Your Medical Story: Research your situation and get relevant medical information. I went back to the hospital for a thorough assessment when I was ready to conceive, because I wanted to understand the diagnosis and the various conditions listed, such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts, an introverted uterus, and many more. I researched the process of occurrence and its effects.
  5. Reverse Medical Conditions: Read the book of Ezekiel 37 and use that system to reverse the effect of each medical condition in your body. Call it by name and nullify its effects. Command each organ in your reproductive system to align itself with the word of God, and demand a replacement of any organ that might be damaged, from the spare part with your name on it in God’s storehouse in heaven. That is what I did. My body cooperated with God’s word, and I conceived.
  6. Control the Spiritual & Physical Narrative: Decree each day what you want to see. Name your baby and pray. Consistently declare God’s word over your life and baby. Visualize your baby with you at home, growing up in your family, and having a great life.
  7. Prepare in Faith: Start buying baby things. Gradually prepare yourself for pregnancy and delivery. There are great resources online that will tell you what to expect and what you can start getting ready. One thing is to pack your hospital bag early. Don’t wait till the last minute. You can get it packed by your fifth month of pregnancy and keep it handy.


The Delivery

I became pregnant within three months of doing this. Please note that this is my story. Everyone’s situation is different. My story is just a guide to showcase God’s faithfulness. It might take shorter or longer for someone else, but rest assured that God has your back; He will come through. 

The pregnancy itself was smooth without vomiting, but I did have nausea and craved certain foods. Five months into the pregnancy, God spoke to me and said I should dedicate my baby to Him. We were going to have a baby dedication after birth, as is the normal practice in my church, but dedicating an embryo was a new one for me. I knew who was speaking, though, and I obeyed. I stood before Him alone in my room and handed the child over to Him in a prayer.  I later told my husband what transpired, and he was ok with it. 

Little did I know there was a huge battle ahead, and God was setting the stage to step in and fight on our behalf. In the eighth month of pregnancy, everything that could happen happened. 

I had pregnancy-induced hypertension but low blood pressure. I was anemic due to a digestive malabsorption problem and was medically assisted to produce haemoglobin. My lower limbs were swollen with oedema. An unusual tightness under my womb signaled distress without labor. I had placenta previa with a bad case of haemorrhage. 

My baby was distressed, the umbilical cord had been tightening around her neck before part of the placenta dislodged in my womb. The strangulating feeling deprived my baby of blood, turning her blue at birth. In distress, my baby defecated in the womb while battling for her life. There was blood everywhere, and I underwent emergency cesarean section with the threat of infant and maternal mortality. She was born premature, at 9.47 p.m. that night.

While all these were going on, I took the following steps;


Steps to Take in a Difficult Delivery

  1. Keep Your Cool: Don’t panic, keep calm. Otherwise, you might take rash decisions, and you will find it difficult to hear God’s voice. Resist the urge to react impulsively. While I was being helped to the hospital, the temptation was to stop at any nearby clinic and get help because I was bleeding profusely. I refused and asked to be taken to my hospital, which was further away, where they knew my medical history and sprang into action immediately I was brought in. With all that happened that night, I realize I would have died, with the baby in me, had I stopped anywhere else.
  2. Pick Your Baby Bag: Have the presence of mind to pick the hospital bag you packed yourself. When you buy the baby’s sleeper clothes, wash and iron them at home for use in the hospital. The newborn must be kept free from any contamination. Don’t buy and use baby clothing on the spot. It needs to be washed and kept sterile. Please, also read my post on How to Spiritually Prepare for  Surgery. 
  3. Follow the Baby: Your husband or family member with you should follow the nurses carrying your baby once it is born. They should resist the temptation to stay with you, except if you have more than one person with you, they can split to be with both of you. Someone should be with the baby to see what is being done. Ensure your baby is properly tagged with your name to avoid mix-up, especially in hospitals with high volumes of deliveries each day. Also, let your family member collect the umbilical cord from the hospital and dispose of it himself. 
  4. Control the Narrative: Continue to make declarations over your life and your baby’s life. Plead the blood of Jesus for protection over you and your child. Decree that you shall not cast your young before your time, and the number of your days God will fulfill (Exodus 23:26).
  5. Submit to God: Having done all, submit to God’s will. He will bring you successfully through it and out of every distress for the glory of His holy name. It is God’s will to do you good all the days of your life because He has a purpose and plan for you (Jeremiah 29:11). God does not afflict anyone willingly, nor grieve the children of men (Lamentations 3:33).
  6. Rejoice & Praise God: Appreciate God for safely bringing you through it all. Testify to His goodness at the earliest opportunity. Keep your spirits up and remain thankful.


Conclusion

Everything, in my opinion, is in the hands of God. He sees the behind-the-scenes activity in both the spiritual and physical realms. The best thing, therefore, is to trust God and obey whatever He tells you. You have to lean into Him and trust everything will work out for your good. The bible says, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28). God, Himself, wants your well-being. So, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6).
