the reset

explained to us that an ectopic pregnancy is not a diagnosis that should
be arrived at or spoken of lightly. She, therefore, advised that we seek
a second opinion just to confirm that all was indeed well and rule out a
heterotropic pregnancy. She also advised about the financial implication
if they found an ectopic pregnancy.

The following day, Friday the 26th of June, we went to see our favourite
sonographer, Faith, who has journeyed with us with all our pregnancies.
She checked and confirmed what our doctor had seen-a single gesta-
tional sac in the uterus with nothing more than the pouch of Douglas
in the left fallopian tube-and we were five weeks along, which was con-
sistent with our conception date. She recommended a follow-up scan
after a week or two to check for the viability (confirmed by a heartbeat).
We had done this for both Zara and Huru’s pregnancies but chose not
to go this time around. We told God, “You have said it is done! There
is no way it is well if the baby does not have a heartbeat. After all, I had
heard a heartbeat when the baby was in the tube.” We continued the
pregnancy by faith, and it was a worry and fear-free pregnancy. We saw
our doctor once every trimester (12 weeks, 27 weeks, and at 37 weeks
because I had had false labour the previous day and they saw the mucus
plug).

The prayer I prayed after I found out I was pregnant, was to first reset
my marriage because we were on the verge of a separation… or worse.
I can confidently say that Daddy aptly answered this prayer. For the
first time in our marriage, the husband of my dreams and long prayers
is now my reality. He is now a new man. A man of great faith-Father
Abraham himself. In his own words, “Daddy used this baby to panel
beat me into the man I am now and made me a remnant. If it was not
for everything God did to this point, I would never have met Prophet
Ronie and King David through who we have connected with Prophet
Elvis Mbonye.”
