In an interview with artist Size 8, 29-year-old Moureen Ngigi recalls her birth experience disclosing how much turmoil she went through during the process.

Cyberbullies still affect this mother of one, stemming from the harassment she endured after her C-section delivery.

On TV47’s Love In The Wild segment, Moureen was candid and discussed the agony of being humiliated by Size 8.

She mentioned that she had high blood pressure when pregnant, something Size 8 could relate to from her own experience.

“I gave birth via CS, the reason I want to talk to you like bado hio kitu iko in me, ime take a toll on me. We came back home, you have to continue with life, so people didn’t understand they were on me so much.

The first picture I took from the hospital, I still had that stomach,” she cried.

C-section is not a choice

“Woi, it pains me, to see this girl cry,” Size 8 sympathised with her.

“I think I haven’t healed yet. ” Moreen told Size 8 “and then the most hurtful part women ndio walikuwa wananiattaack most. The things many of them were saying, ‘kwani ako na ball ingine?’.

“I had just delivered, and people were still asking why I looked pregnant,” she said.

After a difficult birth attempt, Moureen gave birth to her child via caesarean section, as advised by her obstetrician.

Moureen’s birth story

“It’s ok mama if you feel like crying, cry. Aki women why do we bully each other until we see each other crying or not.”

The artist consoled her by stating, “In this place of celebrity life there are people who of course waki kuongeleela, they don’t understand what is going on in life and you are allowed to feel bad, kulia.”

Moreen said she’s working on developing a thicker skin to withstand abuse from the internet.

“They were telling me I don’t know what labour is. I didn’t get the chance to labour, and I haven’t known labour pains so I am less of a mum.”

Then, in an angry reaction, Size 8 told her, “Ei but CS sometimes is not a choice,” to which she objected.
