When in Bahá'í history
When Hand of the Cause Ruhiyyih Khanum came to NZ, and was in the south island, I attended a meeting with her, and there was only one seat when i arrived. Ruhiyyih Khanum invited me to sit next to her. During the course of the talk, I was unable to concentrate on her talk as I was in extreme pain from what was thought to be an ectopic pregnancy. She must have sensed that something was wrong, for she reached around to my back and started rubbing up and down my back, the pain eased and when i returned to Timaru, the doctor said that all was well. She always knew when women were pregnant. There are lots of little Ruhiyyih's in many different countries. Hahaha. I was told that I would die if I had a child, and so I wrote a will and went ahead with it. I did not believe in having an abortion, so I was willing to die if need be able to have a daughter. I did. Born normally. I named her "Happiness is a gift of God" She was certainly touched by a Hand.
