“Baby showers, bump photos don’t kill babies!” – Kenyan radio presenter replies people trolling her after losing her unborn baby at 34 weeks

A Kenyan radio presenter and comedian Wangari Nguri popularly known as Auntie Jemimah has lambasted those trolling her for losing her unborn baby weeks after she did maternity photoshoots and baby showers.

Auntie Jemimah said she was trolled by both men and women, some telling her that showing off a baby bump is taboo.

Speaking on her YouTube channel, she said those who send such messages are misinformed, ignorant and shallow because it is every woman’s dream to carry a pregnancy to term.

“No woman holds a baby shower wishing death upon herself or her child. Every pregnant woman’s dream is to carry the baby to term and go home with a healthy baby.”

“Showing off your baby bump is not wishing death upon your child or yourself. I was told that it was because I showed off my baby bump and went for a beautiful baby bump shoot that I lost a child.”

“Because of the ignorance you have and because of the thirst for likes and comments, you have decided that we wish that upon ourselves. That is tiresome!”

“Conceiving is a miracle. We have women who are struggling to conceive. My heart goes out to you. Carrying a baby to term is also a miracle and to all the women who have lost babies in the process, I am so sorry. The other biggest miracle is going home with a healthy mother and baby”

“Nobody is immune to death. Death is inevitable. The moment you accept life; you also need to accept death. For some of our children, it has had to come very soon before we even held them.”

“My girl was a go-getter. She did 34 weeks. She wanted to make it but she did not.”

“There are things you do not tell a woman who has lost her baby..ati huyo hakuwa wako…if you have nothing good to say just keep quiet. Let them heal. I still cry and breakdown.” she said.
