A miscarriage is heart-breaking and can leave you empty besides tearing your soul apart.
Some women can forget and pick up the pieces, but others blame themselves and question God, the devil, a few enemies and rural aunties with a ‘bad eye.’
Take the case of celebrity entertainment couple, Size 8 and DJ Mo.
Last December, Size 8 opened up about her miscarriage a week after speculations that she was pregnant.
“To be honest I’ve cried, I asked God so many questions. I was so angry. My faith in God has been greatly tested. Stories were in many blogs that I was pregnant but I never did really confirm it because it was a battle all the way. So I just wanted to go with the fight privately. But God decided the best lane for me and I lost the pregnancy juzi,” she posted on social media, adding that her family, friends and the church pals supported her recovery.
Size 8 advised all women who have gone through the same that God loves them and knows what’s best.
“To the women who are trusting God for a child, I have so much respect. I think you are stronger than 20 men and God will reward your faith in Him despite the challenges. I will continue to praise God in Jesus name for His faithfulness. Sitaacha kumsifu bwana.”
Nick Odhiambo and Girlfriend
Another celebrity couple who experienced the same is radio presenter Nick Odhiambo and his girlfriend Lydia who lost baby J’lani.
Nick Odhiambo wrote on his social media pages: “The countdown to your birthday cut short…Sometimes life just throws you a curve ball!!!.. But it is what it is..lil’ J’lani R.I.P.. My son didn’t make it to see this beautiful world.”
King Kaka and Nana Owiti
Recently, Nana Owiti, the fiancé to musician King Kaka opened up about her first miscarriage in February 2014. King Kaka even sang about impending fatherhood in Twende, but the experience left Nana confused and angry.
“King had started calling me Mama Gweth long before we planned on having a baby as it was a unisex name. I told him there was no need of starting clinic mapema so we were good. First forward to the 1st of April 2014. I go to the washroom and get a blood stain,” she recalls, adding that it was at the hospital where the doctor did a scan, but the sonographer called another sonographer and she heard “Hakuna!” I asked ‘Hakuna nini?’ and the first sonographer said “hakuna heartbeat.”
Nana said she “died a little” and before leaving the hospital, they asked the medics whether there was anything they could do. The baby was seven weeks old.
“We were taken to the ER (Emergency Room) and when I woke up, King Kaka was by my side. My heart was dented, soul fractured, eyes swollen and my womb childless,” but three months later, she conceived and baby Gweth, a girl, is now five months old and three years later she was blessed with Prince, a son.
