Veteran Kenyan singer Cecilia Wairimu alias Amani has gone public about her bittersweet experience with conceiving a baby.
Taking to social media over the weekend, the secular-turned gospel singer revealed that she suffered a miscarriage sometime last year after having tried to conceive for a while.
She shared a picture that taken when she was pregnant, narrating how painful it was to lose her unborn baby.
“When I took this picture last year I was pregnant but lost it. It hurt but in that moment I chose not to grumble or murmur or get angry. Though disappointed, I refused to give up and lose faith. I had conceived after not being able to conceive for a while. So I realized that my season had come and it was just a matter of time,” wrote Amani.
And it didn’t take long before she conceived again.
“I thanked God in advance and the following month I conceived again and this time the pregnancy was sustained,” she said.
Amani and her husband, Nigerian Chinasa Udeala, are said to have welcomed their first child about two months ago. The pair got married in 2017.
“Today I hold my gift from God in my arms… My baby. It is still so surreal.Yahweh is a faithful God who is always on time. All the glory goes back to him.”
