She did not hear the news many women were used to at the clinic. Her pregnancy test was negative. She was already nine years into her marriage, yet no baby.
The news brought sudden abandonment and pains in her mind. She leaned forward, suddenly. Her voice broke into sobbing falsetto.When the grief had spent itself, she went home hurt. At home, she locked the door and turned up the TV very loud that nobody heard her sob. After awhile, she left the living room like a lady in trance. She sank into the chair in her room, pressed down by a physical exhaustion that seemed to reach into her soul.
“Apart from the fact that she came out almost after a decade of marriage, she is special because she was conceived naturally after failed fertility treatments and in spite of medical conditions, which should have made spontaneous conception impossible,” she writes in My Story, A Celebration of God’s Faithfulness And Power.
She took antibiotics and medication worth millions of naira to be able to subdue the infection ravaging my body, eventually, she developed an enterocutaneous fistula, “a physically and psychologically draining experience; a nightmare of a condition where undigested food poured out from a hole in my stomach. I had to be hooked up to all kinds of machines and had tubes of all sorts, taking things in and out of my body.
“Some of my nerves were injured during the many futile attempts and this led to nerve damage. I experienced Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression, severe amnesia and hallucinations,” she writes in the pamphlet. “I had trusted God through many years of waiting for a baby but this fresh ordeal brought so many difficult, unanswered questions,” Isioma says.
