I was blessed to find myself pregnant after being a member of WIF for a short period of time. I suffered with guilt associated with my infertility as I thought I was being punished for sins. With the help of WIF members, I was able to remove the blockage and to gain the knowledge that I was already healed and just needed to be faithful and that it was God’s will for ALL women to conceive their own biological children – I would meditate on Gods Word and remain faithful, and it was at the point I became pregnant! And early Father’s Day, 17 June 2007, I gave birth to our son, Christopher Shane. He was 21 inches and weighed 7 lb 1 oz. He is beautiful and a joy to his father and me.

My husband and I lost our first baby at 9 weeks. It then took 3 years to concieve. I thought we had given it to God a long time ago, but I was still relying on man in some ways – medicines to regulate my ovulation, etc. I finally gave up on man after he gave up on me and the doctor said the only way I would get pregnant would be to do IVF. I decided that my God was bigger than that, and He proved true! My husband began laying hands on me and praying for my body to function according to God's perfect plan. Within 2 weeks of prayer, I ovulated and conceived! It was truly a miracle!! Samuel (which means ‘asked of God’) arrived 9 April 2007 at 2.45 pm, weighing 7 lb 5 oz and 20 inches long. Just to encourage you – lift up your very specific prayer requests and watch God honour them in greater detail than you can ever think to provide!!

I am proud to announce the safe arrival of our 9-year-long awaited son, Luke Andrew. Born 26 April 2007 at 11.20 pm by Caesarean and is a healthy, beautiful, happy 6 lb 3 oz baby boy!! All glory goes to God and we would like to thank you all for your prayers throughout a not-so-easy journey and then a not-so-easy pregnancy. Just don't give up on God or your faith because in the midst of it all is when God will answer your prayers.

Just wanted to let you know that we had a beautiful baby boy on 1 May 2007. It was a fairly painless labour and delivery. Aiden Richard arrived into this world at 9.54 am. He weighed 9 lb and was 19.5 inches long. He spent a few nights in NICU due to inhaling some fluid but everything cleared up and he is doing great. Thanks for all your prayers. Donna,

I cannot thank all of you enough for all of your prayers. A year ago today I found out that I was pregnant with my miracle baby. He is now 4 ½ months old.
Maureen, 7 February 2007

Well, I have had my girl. There were times during this pregnancy that I did not think I could make it. But she is here and we are both very well. What a true blessing. I cannot believe God has entrusted me with such a precious treasure.
Heather, 11 April 2007

I just wanted to let you know I had a gorgeous healthy baby boy (Seth Andrew) on Tuesday 9 January 2007 – he was right on time! The birth went really well with absolutely no complications, praise God! He is soooooo GREAT! All up it was 8 hours so I was very thankful it was a quick one. I don’t think the contractions were as painful as with my firstborn son and I know this is only because of Jesus. Thank you so much for your prayer support. I felt so encouraged to push on and believe God for the best outcome and nothing less and He is FAITHFUL!
Louise,

We have the most beautiful little baby girl: Faith Aurora, 6 lb 2 oz, 48 cm long, born Friday 9 March 2007. We are finally home and in fact have found prayer the most reliable and successful way to settle her. We are none the wiser how to do it in our own strength, but every time we pray she settles!
Monique (Australia)

Tahlia Glenda was born at 5.47 am today (Monday 2 April 2007), 3.7 kg, 52.5 cm, and a glowing appraisal from the paediatrician! All prayers answered. Thank you to those who supported me in this special way. Tahlia is perfect – we’re thrilled.
Nadja L (Australia)

I had my baby girl on 4 Nov 2006 – she weighed 7 lb 4 oz at birth (3.3 kg) and was 52 cm long. We named her Stacey Ariel. During my pregnancy, when I was getting morning sickness, I prayed that little prayer in your God's Plan for Pregnancy book. I prayed it, put my hand on my belly, and I felt the anointing hit me. So I just wanted to let you know I felt the power of that prayer.
Donna

I asked you to pray for my girlfriend Joanne (who was told by the doctors she would probably never conceive) and another friend of mine named Leisa who was also told she would never fall pregnant. Well, I am pleased to say praise God that Joanne delivered a healthy baby girl on 15 October and I have just heard that Leisa has also had a healthy baby girl today at 1 pm.
April, November 2006 (Australia)

It is my pleasure to announce to you the birth of Nivedit Grace, my beautiful daughter, who was born on 7 August 2006 at 7.53 am. Her birth weight was 2.78 kg. The delivery was normal but I went in for an epidural towards the end. Apparently it wasn’t necessary as the baby was already on her way down. She was out in 2 pushes and I was totally speechless as I held her for the first time.
Tresa (USA)

My sister-in-law gave birth 13 July 2006 – a healthy baby girl of 6.5 lb. It is amazing what God can do. She was 45 years old in December and this is her first baby. She had been diagnosed with a high prolactin level. The doctors put her on some medication which had really bad side effects so she came off it. Anyway, when she got pregnant, they found that she had fibroids and were talking about the baby coming very early with a strong possibility of a C-section. Well, she had the baby at 38 weeks – they actually had to induce her. She also had the baby naturally. She had a very quick labour which was not what the doctors had told her.
Viviene (UK),

TTC for 8yrs, tried naturopaths, Chinese medicine, surgery, IVF and, most importantly, prayer! Blair Jackson was born 5th Sept 2005, 3.1 kg 50 cm

Newest DeHoogh addition is Kyler Jack!

Who said you can’t have a baby at 45? Nothing is impossible with God! Age doesn't have to be a barrier when it comes to the Word of God.

Noah’s mum, Michelle is our new Life Partner co-ordinator! Michelle conceived this precious miracle shortly after joining our team. Michelle had experienced miscarriage in the past and while there were a couple of threats throughout the pregnancy, this precious little one was born safely at full term!

Lucy's mum was in her late 30’s when she conceived. She faced genetic disorders after her husband was diagnosed with a rare chromosome abnormality in his genes. She was also told that Lucy had not developed properly after an amnio. BUT praise the Lord! This little one was born perfectly healthy in every way! And 15 months later her little brother was born perfectly healthy too (early 2007)!

After experiencing years or infertility along with several losses including a premature labour, Joel's mum conceived and against all odds Joel was born safe and sound!

Noah's mum, Jessica says: After 2 miscarriages one at 19w and the other at 6w in 2003/2004, we finally decided that the time was right to try again. We prayed so hard for this baby beforehand. Luckily it didn't take long to fall pregnant. During my pregnancy my hubby laid his hand on my belly every night before we went to sleep and prayed for our baby 'Jelly Bean' and all others. We pray for our friends and family that what we pray for ourselves covers them also (this includes all the ladies in wifpregnancy). I believe that without God's hand was on this pregnancy because it would not have gone so smoothly. I am so thankful that God hears our prayers!!

Faith's mum Nicole writes: After 8 years of TTC, God has demonstrated His unfailing love to us and shown that He is always faithful to His promises. God's Word remains the same today as it always has been and we, as believers in Christ Jesus, can be assured that His Word will not return to Him empty, and every promise is Yes in Christ according to His will. May you all be encouraged by our miracle and believe that God is wanting to bless you abundantly in the fruit of your womb. 

David's mum Andrea Writes: I thank God for his mercies, grace and also speedy recovery at this time. Just to remind everyone in the WIF group to hold to the one who has promised because he is faithful and His word cannot return to him void unless it accomplishes the purpose for which it was sent. I want to thank Nerida for this ministry and her book "God's plan for pregnancy" as this enhanced my journey to motherhood.  

Tanya's mum Selina writes: All Praise & Glory and Thanks be to Him. For He has a Plan for each of us and He makes ALL things beautiful IN HIS TIME!! May our baby girl bring Glory & Praise to His name!

Avaiah's mum, Andrea writes: On Saturday 7 May 2005 at 10.00 am, my little miracle entered the world. Her name is Aviah (Hebrew meaning ‘God is my Father’) Genesis. She weighed in at a dainty 5lb 13oz. The birth went well. My husband and I were told that the only way we could get pregnant was via IVF because my husband's sperm did not move (0.4% motility), and almost 70% of the DNA in his sperm was fragmented/messed up/no good. Well, God certainly made a way out of what seemed no way, and bless the Lord we have living proof of His awesome works!

We were blessed with our first child, Aviah, who just turned 16 months, and now Micah is here! I want to encourage everyone that God is real and that we need to take Him at His word. He promised to make us joyful mothers of children and it really is up to us to believe Him, especially during the difficult times. God is not a respecter of persons, and what He does for one, He can do for all! I've learned that whatever diagnosis we've been given it doesn't matter because NOTHING is too big for God. I have found that the battle lies in the spiritual realm – not the physical – and if we can get our spirit in tune with what God has planned for us, we can be more than conquerors! I get emotional when I look at what my husband and I were facing 2 years ago, and I just HAVE to give God all the glory and the praise for what He has done in our lives.

Molly's mum writes: Molly Taylor arrived uneventfully on 21 July 2006 at 6 am after 3 hours of labour. I woke up in the middle of the night not feeling quite right and soon after my waters broke ... labour progressed quickly after that. It was relatively painless (especially after the epidural).

The last 8 babies on my family have been either preterm of premature so I was quite surprised and shocked to make it just shy of 39 weeks! I only have one fallopian tube, PCOS, have experiences 3 previous losses and I have a middle aged hubby. However this was a rather easy and uncomplicated pregnancy. I must have been your prayers that made a difference!

After losing twins Bella conceived and after a full term healthy pregnancy gave birth to Bethany Grace 4.7kg (10.4lbs).

After 3 years of unexplained infertility Anna conceived after our UK conference. Daniel was born at 11:18pm on Monday 2nd June, weighing 8lb 14oz (for those who want this in metric, that's about 4 Kilos!)

Thank you to those who's thoughts and prayers were with us over Kyler's safe arrival. We appreciate it greatly. Born 28th March 2008, 4.11kg, 52cm long, 38cm head!
