News of gospel artiste Size 8 and her husband welcoming their second child was welcomed by Kenyans, but many did not know of the struggles involved.

The couple are already parents to four-year-old Ladasha Wambui. Last year Size 8 had suffered a miscarriage.

According to Size 8 after the baby was born he was taken to (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) NICU.

Speaking about her baby's well-being, Size 8 had said that her baby's heart beat had risen, prompting the doctors to take her to the theater.

'AT AROUND 3AM THE FETUS RATE WENT HIGH AGAIN AND THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY TO TRY AND GET THE RATE DOWN.’

She added

‘DR THUO  (HER DOCTOR) AND HIS WIFE WERE TRYING TO BUY MORE TIME BECAUSE THE LAST SCAN I HAD TAKEN SHOWED THAT I WAS 34 WEEKS PREGNANT.

WHEN THEY TESTED THE HATE RATE OF THE BABY IT WAS ABOVE 180 AND THAT IS WHEN THEY DECIDED TO DELIVER MY BABY VIA CS.'

The couple are yet to reveal the identity of the child but  they will in due time.

For now we hope that Size 8 recovers so that she can be with her newborn.
