She said there were low moments, when she had to grapple with the reality of failed expectations, but was thankful God saw them through such periods.

She revealed other challenges she faced during the pregnancy , and how she spent six months in the hospital receiving treatment before the delivery.

Esther advised expectant couples to be patient, focus on God and shun the temptation to run to different churches looking for solution.

On his part, her husband thanked God for granting them the grace to be steadfast and not bow before strange altars, during their trying period.

“It got to a point it seemed we were giving up but we persevered and God answered us.”

Rev. Unen said they fortified themselves against external pressure, which helped them to be steadfast in the face of challenges.
