Gospel singer Linet Masiro Munyali alias Size 8 has opened up about how her chronic condition has stopped her from becoming a mother again.
Size 8 nearly broke down in tears while explaining how extreme preeclampsia has robbed her of the ability to become a mother for the third time.
Severe preeclampsia is a disorder of pregnancy characterized by high blood pressure. Size 8 spoke about her condition while speaking during an interview with YouTuber Nicholas Kioko.
The YouTuber asked the mother of two if she was pregnant with baby number three but she made it clear that she can't be knocked up again because of her condition.
"Ni nguo imejaa ata ni cotton. Sitaki mtoto sahi na sitarajii mtoto na siombi mtoto na nataka kufanya kazi ya Mungu nimetosheka. Wahu congratulations I wish you well mummy unajua ako na mtoto, wacha wao wazae unajua mimi sitaki mtoto sahi. Unajua for me health-wise high blood pressure imekua ikinikimbiza. Si ati sitaki watoto but heath-wise for me it's a threat," she said.
Size 8 nearly died
Size 8 has had a brush with death at least four times in her quest to be a mother. One time she suffered paralysis on the left side of her body.
She narrated how she nearly died while she was pregnant and suffered at least two miscarriages because of high blood pressure.
"Wambo I almost miscarried because of high blood pressure inaitwa extreme preeclampsia. The after Wambo nililose mtoi hapo katikati because of it and then nkazaa Junior. Junior kidogo iniue nlikua naparalize hii yote (left side of her body) but by the grace of God nilizaa but nilizaa early kalikua kadogo nini.
"And then after that nkapata ball last year hio karibu iniue I think all of you saw. But unfortunately mtoi wangu hakusurvive. And then even this year March tarehe 7 pressure ilikua imefika 236 so nka advisiwa mambo ya watoi for me…. By the way mi napenda watoi ata ningekua na watoi 10 but health yangu. But napray God atanitoa kwa mambo ya kumeza dawa za pressure to the glory of God," she narrated.
