A 62-year-old Ugandan woman has stunned her community after reportedly giving birth nearly ten years after undergoing menopause, a case that has drawn both widespread attention and debate.
Margret Nabuuma, a teacher from Uganda, says she conceived following a prayer session at Holy City Entebbe, a popular worship centre led by preacher Bro. Ronnie Makabai. According to her account, she had struggled with infertility for more than 40 years of marriage.
Nabuuma, who grew up in a large family and had long dreamt of raising children of her own, described her journey as emotionally draining and socially isolating. Despite multiple attempts and years of waiting, she never conceived — eventually experiencing menopause at the age of 50.
Her breakthrough, she says, came in 2023 after visiting Holy City Entebbe, where she claims she received prayers for healing. Three weeks later, doctors reportedly confirmed her pregnancy — news that shocked even medical staff due to her advanced age.
“I couldn’t believe it. I ran around the hospital praising God,” she recounted during a thanksgiving service held recently at the church.
Her pregnancy became a subject of public speculation, with some residents dismissing it as a case of abdominal swelling, while others alleged that the child had been stolen. However, the couple maintains that the birth was a miracle.
Nabuuma delivered a healthy baby girl, now aged three and set to join school next year. The rare birth has continued to draw visitors who travel to witness what has been described locally as a “miracle child.”
During her testimony, Nabuuma encouraged other women struggling with infertility not to lose hope. The World Health Organization estimates that infertility affects about 17.5% of adults globally, impacting both men and women.
Her story has since attracted renewed discussions on faith, reproductive health, and the limits of medical science — with some celebrating the birth as an act of divine intervention, while others calling for more scientific clarity on the case.
Nabuuma recently returned to Holy City Entebbe seeking prayers for another child.
As her story continues to circulate widely online and in religious communities, many continue to debate whether it represents a medical anomaly or a miracle.
