Describing her ordeal, Taiwo said everything was going fine during the first three months of the pregnancy until she had a nightmare.
"The journey wasn't that easy. It was so tough... So so tough.
"Everything started three months after I noticed that I was pregnant.
"The pregnancy was positive during the first three months until I had a dream where I was shot in my tummy.
"It was after that dream that problem started with the pregnancy,'' the new mum recounted to Legit.ng.
Taiwo spent over 3 years living in a church
Taiwo who said she attends a white garment church furthered that worry set in after she failed to deliver in a year.
People started asking questions. As a way of precaution and to seek a solution to the prolonged pregnancy, Taiwo stated that she was told to stay on her church premises.
She remained there for three years and 6 months but had to leave at the instance of her brother who was fed up with his sister's continued stay in the church with no result.
Taiwo had one time contemplated suicide
The new mum revealed that there were times her tummy would lessen like she wasn't pregnant and there were periods she felt the baby on her back instead of her stomach.
She added that there was even a period a scan showed that her tummy was empty.
Taiwo recalled how she had nursed committing suicide by running in the way of an oncoming trailer.
The lady said she had such thoughts during her stay in the church.
She praised God for being a strong support system and joked that she expected the baby to come out with teeth owing to how long the kid stayed in her tummy.

According to her, she took in 6 months after she lost her husband. Upon medical examination, it was confirmed that she was pregnant with a male child.
Problem set in when she checked in at the hospital 6 months later only to be told that what was in her womb had taken another form and is no longer a boy.
Medical doctors told the woman - who mysteriously lost all her kids - that the only way to get the thing in her stomach out was by an operation that has a 50/50 survival rate.
