“Ni uchungu sana!”: Pauline Njoroge opens up on losing her unborn twins

Blogger Pauline Njoroge has recounted her painful experience of how she miscarried her unborn twins.

On Mother’s Day, Pauline painfully opened up on how much she struggled with grief but couldn’t show it because she is a public figure.

Pauline disclosed in a social media post that she was pregnant with twins who brought her delight, but she tragically lost them in the early stages of her pregnancy.

She wrote:

“Not long ago I carried twins in my womb and they brought me the most fulfilling joy. Those few months made part of my life’s happiest days, and I was ever smiling. One of my close friends even nicknamed me Mama Happiness.”

Losing my unborn children crashed me… watching as they disappeared in a pool of blood caused me unexplainable pain. For several months I was an emotional mess and nothing could comfort me. I broke down a million times and tears became my daily food,” she wrote.

She described the horrible impact her twins’ deaths had on her mental and emotional health.

Pauline claims that she suffered from sadness for several months and tried to cope with the pain of her loss, and that nothing could console her.

“Out here I kept a strong face because sometimes as women and leaders, we do not have the luxury of breaking down in public no matter what is happening internally.

I am grateful for the strong support system in my life, which carried me through this period and for God’s grace.”

Despite her agony and grief, Pauline showed her excitement for Mother’s Day and brought hope to other mothers.

“For every mother out there, it is such a blessing to carry life and bring it to this world. Always treasure it. Happy Mother’s Day,” she concluded.
