‘Hand of God’ mysteriously appears in ultrasound after mom prays for baby’s health

A Kentucky woman believes her baby has been blessed by ‘the hand of God’ after a strange artifact appeared in her ultrasound.

The 32-week scan appears to show a large hand caressing her the developing child’s head in the womb.

Amanda Foster, 33, who is eight months pregnant with a boy, said she has ‘asked the Lord repeatedly to please keep His hand on my baby’ before every appointment’ after he was diagnosed with a heart condition early in the pregnancy.

There was a problem with the wall that separates parts of the heart near the aorta, the large artery that carries blood from the heart to the body, which can be life-threatening.

The ultrasound has gone viral online, with people calling the image ‘amazing’ and ‘a miracle.’ 

Others have suggested that it is actually the baby’s hand, enlarged and distorted during the ultrasound. 

But Foster and her husband, Kyle, believe that it was God protecting their son after the health scare. 

‘We prayed and prayed along with several others. When we followed up with a specialist, it was gone,’ Foster shared on Facebook. ‘I have been so thankful that I’ve begun to pray before every appointment.’

Foster’s journey, however, began when she was just 17 years old. 

She was pregnant with her first son, who was diagnosed at 18 weeks with Potter’s syndrome, a condition that occurs when the baby’s kidneys do not develop properly or are missing.

This condition hinders lung development and restricts the baby’s position in the womb, causing physical features like a flattened face, low-set ears, and limb deformities.

Because of these problems, Potter syndrome is considered a terminal diagnosis and Foster lost her first child.

‘My thought at that time was, ‘Well, if God is going to take my son, He will take me too!” Foster shared.

‘It didn’t work out that way, and I developed a deep resentment and anger toward God. If that wasn’t enough, I was later told it was very unlikely I would ever have a healthy baby boy since Potter’s syndrome is more common in males.’

Foster and Kyle later welcomed two healthy girls into the world.

While she was overjoyed to be a mother, she was ‘drowning in anger, pain, mind chaos and torture.’

‘I never doubted that God wasn’t real, I just didn’t want anything to do with Him because of what He had done to me,’ said Foster.

‘I lived a very chaotic and miserable life for a while. I had finally given up. I was tired and completely broken when I turned my life over to Jesus Christ in September of 2021.’

From that moment, Foster said her entire life changed for the better, and by November, she became pregnant.

‘In March of 2022, I found out he was a boy and that he was healthy! He is now two, almost three! Fast forward to now, I found out I was pregnant with another baby boy, and this pregnancy has had its ups and downs,’ she said.

She took her youngest daughter, Bailey, with her to the ultrasound appointment, where Bailey was the first to spot the giant hand over her soon-to-be little brother’s face.

‘Thinking about [the ultrasound] more and more brought me to tears and filled me with gratitude for all God has and continues to do for me,’ Foster said.
