Avril is in a happy place with the new chapter of her life: motherhood. Well, from what her social media has to offer, this is only too apparent.

The singer had hidden the fact that she was heavy with child from the public. In fact, she even denied she was pregnant but as the Swahili saying goes, mimba haifichiki!’

Months later Avril shared a picture of her baby bump and the next thing we knew, she had given birth. Avril has hidden her baby’s face from the public despite the fact that she has a whole song about the baby who also made a cameo in the music video.

She had not talked much about her pregnancy journey, up until she decided to have an interview with Parents Magazine where she opened up about all her struggles before and after her pregnancy.

One thing she says is she was never sure she would ever conceive after she suffered from fibroids.

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can develop during a woman’s childbearing years.

Women who are obese and of African-American (even African women) heritage also seem to be at an increased risk, although the reasons for this are not clearly understood.

Research has also shown that some factors may protect a woman from developing fibroids. Some studies, of small numbers of women, have indicated that women who have had two liveborn children have one-half the risk of developing uterine fibroids compared to women who have had no children. Scientists are not sure whether having children actually protected women from fibroids or whether fibroids were a factor in infertility in women who had no children. .

So yes, Avril had been trying to have a child and when she knew she was pregnant, she was more than happy to be a mother.

I had two fibroids when I was pregnant and the doctors speculated that that could have been the reason it took me longer to conceive

Despite the fact that she does not comment on who her baby daddy is, J Blessing has been rumored to be the father of the child.

When asked in an interview on The Trend if J Blessing is the father, she said when J Blessing makes his debut on The Trend, Amina should definitely ask him.

If at any one point in time I’ll feel like talking about the father of my child I will but at this particular time I don’t think it’s necessary. But if J Blessing comes for an interview ask him that question

Janet Mbugua who is now a mother of two boys also opened up on the struggles she endured during pregnancy and delivery of her second child. She said that she has gone through multiple surgeries which saw her in a hospitalized for more than two weeks.

The rest of her story she said will be up on her vlog soon and will be here to give you all the details.
