It was amidst this situation that I took in and when I went for an echography, it showed twin boys and we were so happy. When my husband was travelling, he took extra money with him with the intention that he would get a job there and start sending me money to run the household, as 3/4 of my salary was being taken to repay the loan and we also had extended family members living with us and depending on us and I had also returned to the University for further studies.

I met Mummy Marie-Anne on Facebook just before this time. I enjoyed everything about her… her charisma, the way she advised other people, etc… little did I know that I would soon be needing her support.

The real issues started when hubby left. I was still in my first trimester /second trimester of pregnancy and it wasn’t easy at all for me coupled with school, taking care of my daughter, looking after the household expenditure, transport to school, etc. The stress was too much, but I thank God, it made me strong. Then came the COVID 19 pandemic. Hubby couldn’t find a job; money was finishing quickly and we had needs to meet.

I started experiencing attacks during my pregnancy. When I slept, I would feel as if someone was pressing my neck. I was feeling uneasy all the time. The pregnancy was progressing well, but I was not resting. I had constant backaches and lower abdominal pains.

I reached out to Mummy Marie-Anne, explained everything to her, she prayed for me for some time, and handed me over to the Prevailers Maternity Ministry led by Mummy Efuru, where I was given a pregnancy guide and prayed with regularly, I felt better. Mummy Efuru of the Prevailers Maternity Ministry followed me up with Mummy Marie-Anne till the end and I am grateful to God for their lives.
