A Nairobi woman who participated in the just concluded Beyond Zero half Marathon 2019 edition received a bundle of joy after giving birth moments after the event.
The woman, whose name was withheld, participated in the 2km category that was meant for expectant mothers.
She started experiencing labour pains and was rushed to Pumwani Maternity Hospital where she gave birth to a baby girl.
The child was named Margaret in honour of the first lady who is the founder of the marathon.
Confirming the surprising incident, coordinator of the pregnant women walk, Asha Wanjiku, told Capital FM that she was happy with the developments.
“We are happy with this walk, I have never seen pregnant women running or walking for distance but today we have done it and finished,” she stated.
“Pregnant women need to do practice and today, we have seen three taken to the hospital and one of them gave birth and the baby named Margaret after the First Lady,” Aisha concluded.
