GETRUDE MUNGAI LOSES HER UNBORN BABY

Life can be cruel sometimes. It can bring so much joy and then in a flash it all goes away. Joy turns into sadness and laughter into tears. 

The courage we’d mastered becomes fear, fear of the unknown and the reality in which we are in. This is what Getrude Mungai felt on 6th September 2014. 

This is a day she’d want to forget, A day she’d want to put in a jar strong enough no one can break but no matter how much she tries, no matter how much she prays losing a child is something no one can forget.

“That night the pain was unbearable; I took pain killers every four hours. The night seemed like a lifetime of agony. I woke up and 8am and asked my husband to bring me the pain killers. When he did and I sat up to take them, as I turned to go back to sleep my waters broke.I got dressed quickly, managed to walk down the stairs, got into the car and my husband drove me very slowly to the hospital which is about five minutes away.Until then I thought something could be done to save the baby, but going by the clots I realized what deep shit I was in.  The most scarily thought was; could I be bleeding to death?“
This is a story of a heartbroken mum. Having carried the pregnancy for 9 months and not being able to lay eyes on the baby. All we can do is wish Getrude good health and strength as she comes to terms with this tragedy.
