Kenyan doctor gets pregnant after six months

Medina, who is a doctor by profession vividly narrated the heart-rending moment she lost not one but two unborn children.

Speaking to NTV, the health practitioner disclosed it was her first pregnancy.

"Immediately after the wedding, we tried. It took six months before I got pregnant. I used to take medicine from the hospital where I was working and was being scanned from the same hospital. My husband was also a doctor, so he also followed up on me," she said.

Medina recounted seeing traces of blood when she went for a short call, which prompted her to go for a scan, accompanied by her loving and supportive husband.

That was when Medina found out she was pregnant with twins. She continued to carry her pregnancy until the 12th week.

"This time, the blood was too much. We went back to the hospital for another scan. The doctor did not seem sure about our situation and did not seem to want to tell us what was happening. There was so much tension. I was not satisfied with the information given," she said as she looked for another medical opinion.

In her third attempt to get to the bottom of the issue, Medina was told the heartbreaking truth about the death of her twins.

"My heart was shattered. I was very heartbroken; one of my lowest points in life. I went to my office and cried," she said.

Medina was blessed with her first baby in 2023, giving birth to a bouncing baby boy.

A young lady identified as Mrembo said she was shattered when she lost her baby girl and could identify with Medina's pain.

"I was so much looking forward to having another daughter, but doctors told me there were complications. It was one of the lowest points of my life. My friends bought cute shoes for her and lovely clothes but she never made it to wear them," she told TUKO.co.ke.
