I want to thank God for my life and the life of my 6th child. As I entered my 9th month of pregnancy, our family relocated to another part of the country. The doctors at the previous hospital had scheduled for me to have a C section at 36 weeks of gestation but due to the move that wasn't possible. I had kept up to date with all my scans and antenatal appointments so as far as I was concerned everything was going fine. One night I had a dream that Ma Haggaie was praying over my belly. The next day I started receiving text messages from church family asking whether I was ok and if I was in labour and enquiring about the baby. I asked the fourth person why people were contacting me. She told me that Ma Haggaie had made a prayer request for the prayer warriors to pray for me against complications with my pregnancy. Two or three days later I had a hospital appointment with the new care providers in the area we had moved to and as a new patient they carried out a routine scan. It was there that I discovered that I had a suspected placenta accreta. My placenta had grown abnormally and was covering part of my cervix and lower abdomen. This meant a natural birth was now impossible and dangerous. If my cervix was to open as I was being operated on during the C section I could bleed out in minutes and lose the baby, lose my womb and possibly lose my life. I suddenly had a life threatening condition. I was referred to different experts at the Cambridge University and had different scans including MRI scans to confirm the condition. It was such a serious condition that they decided to keep me in the Cambridge hospital so that if I happened to go into labour I could be rushed in. The C section was scheduled for the following week but I checked myself out on the Sunday to go to church knowing that my heavenly Father was more than able to help me with my situation. That Sunday, although I was in discomfort, I danced to the Lord and told Him that I'm moving my body to Him so I'm committing it to Him and whatever happens I trust Him. It was very important for me to have God preserve my womb because of my family's history of losing their wombs due to complications. It had been my prayer that I and my daughters wombs would be preserved for our whole lives. On the day of the C section as we prayed I felt lots of pain and movement in my body and my husband encouraged me that it was God moving things around. I was put under general anesthetic and had tubes put straight into my neck veins connected to blood incase it was accreta so that blood loss would be quickly replenished. Upon waking I asked if baby was ok and asked if I still had my womb. Both questions were answered positively. I cried and gave thanks to the Almighty who saw and averted disaster from happening. The top consultant came to me and said that it was the closest case of an accreta they had come across without it being one and asked if they could keep the placenta for research and teaching. I give all the glory to the Most High. The top doctors of the top Cambridge University didn't know how this had happened but my heavenly Father knew. Today my womb is very much intact. Praise be to God.

**A placenta accreta is a serious pregnancy condition that occurs when the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall. Typically, the placenta detaches from the uterine wall after childbirth. With placenta accreta, part or all of the placenta remains attached. This can cause severe blood loss after delivery.
