Me: Yes
Mum: miezi ngapi
Me: miezi 6
Mum: umeenda hosiptali
Me: Yes
Mum: yaani umejipanga hivyo hadi unameza dawa na umeficha aje mimba hizo siku zote.
Luckily I never vomited throughout my 1st trimester for them to notice… Nilikonda aki… Thank God for my tummy sikujulikana until when I was 6 months and my dad was the 1st to know.
He supported me through out and told me “I thank you for not aborting” My son is 2 years 10 months old and he is my dad’s best friend,” said another online user.
