Doctors Should Not Play God
Posted: February 29, 2008“Doctors should not play God. “This is what my gynaecologist said when I shared with him a testimony I read from the church bulletin.
I hope that this testimony will encourage those mother to be who are experiencing some difficulties and have negative thoughts now. After you have read this, I hope you will be encouraged and blessed and will have confident and miracle and supernatural pregnancy and delivery.

On 3rd January 2007, I was rushed to the A & E at 10 p.m as I was bleeding heavily. My husband Edwin was shocked as he didnot know that I was pregnant. After a scan, the doctor told me that they could not find a heartbeat. ” Again ? “ I asked. This would have been my third miscarriage,
The doctor told me to return for a check-up the next day. But I told her that I wanted to do it the next week as I wanted time to pray. At that time, I thought that there really was no hope, as the doctors did not prescribe me any bed rest or medicatio, except some painkillers.
I told God, ” Lord, I didn;t ask for a baby. You gave. So I can’t be having my third miscarriage.” The Lod simply replied. ” Jesus bled, so you don’t need to. ” I took His word for it, though I kept bleeding for another month.
At my next check-up, the doctor was surprised to find a heartbeat. He asked if I wanted to go for a series of tests for abormalities in the baby but I refused. I asked for the normal check-up and scan, all the way up to my 40th week.
The doctor was again very surprised to find my baby is normal as he is expecting abnormalities. And up to the 40th week, I felt no pain of whateverso, I prayed, ” They keep sating that when there is pain every five minutes, it is time to go to the hospital and deliver the baby. But Jesus took all my pain already, and I do not have it anymore. So God, how do I know ehn it is time since I have no pain ? ” Again His reply was so simple, ” I will ley you know.”
On 18th August 2007, I was working at noon when the Lord gently told me ” Now, it is time to go to the hopsital.:I walked into the delivery suite and the nurses were puzzled. I had no pain, just some stomach cramps. And I had to wait for the bed to be cleaned, as I did not call in earlier.
When my doctor checked me, my cervic had not dilated yet, so they refused to admint me, though the doctor in charge that day said that she would check on me three hours later. At 4 pm, the doctor came by and was surprised to see that my cervix was 4 cm dilated. She said,” You are really doing well, I think you will be delivering tonight or early tomorrow morning.”
At 5 pm, they broke my water bag and complications arose as my baby’s heartbeat dropped to 60, but the Lord upheld us. As I still felt no pain, I was able to sleep till 8 pm, While I waited, fear crept in suddenlym but the Lord showed me that He was holding me hospital beed in His palm.
At 8 pm, I was already fully dilated and baby’s head was very low. The doctor was amazed and said,” You are doing very well, you are really going to have a painless delivery.” At 9 pm, Kyle was born with his umbilical cord entangled around his neck, and again, the Lord sustained us through the complications.
And the Lord continues to sustain us till this day. The Holy Spirit is my professional baby-sitter and my confinement nanny. I have no one to help me and have to do everything on my own, but He is faithful. And every day, I am learning more about His love for us.
