Foetus’ heartbeat detected again after prayers and partaking of the Holy Communion

My family and I had always wanted another child. But as the time went by, I gave up because I was already past 40, and it is not easy for women my age to conceive in the natural.

One day, my younger daughter asked me when I would have another child. So I told her to pray, and that God would give us one. That night, I couldn’t sleep. I did a pregnancy test and realised that I was pregnant!

However, during the first check-up with the gynaecologist, we were told that the foetus had no heartbeat and that it was common for women of my age to produce eggs that were not as healthy as younger mothers. Furthermore, it would not be my first time losing a child as I have had two miscarriages before.

We were told to wait for another week to see if the foetus had any heartbeat. If not, I should have a procedure to remove it.

By then, I had been listening to and translating Pastor Prince’s messages for four-and-a-half years. Besides being blessed by his preaching on the grace of God, I was also deeply impacted by his teachings on the Holy Communion. Though I have been a Christian almost all my life, I had never known the true meaning of the Communion until I heard Pastor Prince’s teachings.

During the following week, we prayed, partook of the Holy Communion, and believed God for a miracle.

At the next check-up, the foetus still had no heartbeat and I was told to make an appointment for the procedure. I hesitated because I had not worked out our daughters’ childcare arrangements with my husband. But the gynaecologist thought it was because I was too heartbroken and said I could wait for another week before going for the procedure.

During this time, we prayed with the girls, and told them that we would still get to see the baby in heaven even if he was not born. I continued to pray for peace in my heart and listened to Pastor Prince’s messages.

I went for a third check-up and this time, there was a heartbeat! Even the doctor was surprised. By that time, I should have been eight weeks pregnant, but the doctor said that my baby was the size of a six-week-old foetus. I believe it was because the baby was revived and started to grow again when we started to partake of the Communion. Our miracle baby boy was born healthy and happy. God is great and faithful!
