Mrs Kate Fezigha, a 52-year-old midwife at the General Hospital, Sagbama, Bayelsa, said she gave birth to a baby girl on June 3 to end 19-year barrenness.
Fezigha gave the testimony at the Child Dedication and Thanksgiving Service of the baby christened Prudent, in Yenagoa on Sunday.
She said she got married in 1994 and had supervised the delivery of many children and witnessed the joy and feeling of many mothers during labour and child birth.
According to her, an attempt to adopt a child from a Bayelsa-based Orphanage was fruitless as she was swindled by the purported coordinator of the home.
She said that her chances of conception were further reduced on attainment of menopause when she ceased to observe her monthly menstrual cycle.
She said that the arrival of Prudent changed her story and brought joy and consolation to the family.
The elated mother said that the conception and delivery of the miracle baby was "the Lord's doing and it is marvelous in His sight''.
Fezigha said the pressure became unbearable during the 19-years waiting, and she took stock of her service as a midwife but she managed to remain steadfast in her trust in God.
"It was not an easy experience to see others through the child bearing process and not to have your own child.
"And it is particularly touching when I have had a very successful professional practice as a midwife.
"I have not lost any baby or mother under my care as a midwife under the Bayelsa Government,'' she recalled.
She continued: "I was worried that many of the children I had taken delivery of during service were now parents.
"I even reflected and wondered why is it that that despite the fact that no child had died in my hand during delivery as midwife, why can't I have my own, but a voice kept telling me to redouble my effort and I shall be blessed.
"But the mysterious voice started reducing in my head as I was losing hope.
"I decided to adopt a baby from an orphanage and I was duped. At this stage, I deliberately killed the voice and hand it all to God.
"I asked him that I will not disturb him any longer. And if he decides to give me a child, so be it,'' Fezigha said in her testimony.
Narrating her experience with childlessness Fezigha, explained that a stage in her life, her mysterious sickness led her to take a scan and it was diagnosed to be either a 'fibroid or Cyst'.
According to her, another scan later revealed that she was pregnant. I had mixed feelings after the second scan.
"I even told my husband that it is false pregnancy. When my husband asked me what that meant, I became his lecturer telling him what he meant and saw the expectation of a pregnancy in his eyes.
"Few months later, I started seeing some changes in my body. Throughout this period, I could not go to work and had to be hospitalised twice before I delivered.
"Those who knew me could not believe it and screamed when they see my swollen stomach. When they see me, they scream and shout praise the Lord,'' she said amidst joy.
Fezigha, said that her family is full of praise to God, "all the period of waiting was not easy, but I am comforted by the word of God.
"Let me advice women that are hoping for a child to put their faith in God. God will give them a child and they should not patronise native doctors.''

Her experience is TRUE as early this year a woman in Ikorodu, Lagos also had same experience after 18 years of marriage and another 12 years and the one I know 5 years of marriage. God has made available a miraculous plant that helps with this and other issues such as prostate enlargement (Isitor in Yoruba), Cancer etc. Call me Friday, on 08055179614 and I will tell you more.

ReplyDeleteMy God you are so awesome.I praise you my saviour.you are unchangeable God
ReplyDeleteGod's time is the best.Although, it is never convenient to experience this time but it is never void of unspeakable joy at the end.I praise and thank God with you.Please go round and share your testimony to strengthen the faith of others facing the same challenge presently. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteThe best time is the time of God.No body enjoys passing through this revealing time.But experience has taught man what it means to be a good teacher. Ours was about six years of agony especially for my wife because of the emotionality in every woman but l encouraged her. While l congratulate you madam,l want to advise couples facing this challenge to please encourage one another. Especially men should stand by their wives.They should not yield to pressure from inlaws to get another wife or husband. There is never a touching testimony in remarrying because of childlessness.It is joy missed with sorrow and will for ever remain a guilt in the mind.What many don't know is that barrenness is one of the many problems we have in a relationship.There are others bigger than barrenness. Please waiting couples be wise and be patient. Secondly, it is good to seek medical advice. Thirdly,both should be united.A divided house cannot stand.I pray that God who answered us will answer all of you waiting for the fruit of the womb in Jesus name.Please avoid the temptation of going to Satan to ask for a child.His agents are all over to tempt you.Please shun them.It is not just to have children alone but to GOOD children.
ReplyDeleteThis kind GOD, I never see ur type, blessed be your holy name for u are GOD of Hanna and Sarah I bless ur holy name for this wounderful gift to ur daughter after good nineteen years
