Size 8 suffers from hypertension, commonly known High Blood Pressure (HBP) – a condition which makes her develop complications during her pregnancy.
The gospel singer stuggled to deliver her first child Ladasha Belle Wambo due to HPB. Doctors advised her to deliver before 9 months, this was the only way she could save her child’s life. She gave birth to her daughter in November 2015.
In 2018, Size 8 got pregnant with baby number two but unfortunately she lost her unborn baby after months of enduring a complicated pregnancy.
“Rumours were in many blogs that I was pregnant but I never did really confirm it because it was a battle all the way so I just wanted to go with the fight privately. But God decided the best lane for me and I lost the pregnancy. To be honest I’ve cried and asked God so many questions. I have given my husband stress. He is trying to make me be okay,” Size 8 narrated in December 2018.
Size 8 got pregnant again in 2019 and she managed to pull through despite developing serious complications. She gave birth to her son in November that year.
However, Size 8 nearly died while giving birth. The baby was born through a Cesarean Section after she developed complications.
She was rushed to hospital weeks before her due date after she started convulsing and experiencing pain in her uterus while at her house.
The minute she discovered she was pregnant she was both happy and scared, especially after suffering a miscarriage a few months earlier.
“The minute I realised I was pregnant I panicked a lot and I told my husband, ile ingine ilitoka what if hii ingine itake kutoka. So tukarush hosi tukaona daktari I was given some precautions and then my doctor advised us that I should just take it slow. Three weeks after that nikapata a very major pressure attack. But after a few weeks the pressure maintained a bit. The I started feeling some funny pains in my uterus so I went to hospital and I thought Ngai ni ball inatoka ama nini, they did a scan at the hospital and they found I had fibroids. I was so devastated,” Size 8 narrated.
A few days later, Size 8’s blood pressure shot up causing her to have a minor stroke.
“The all over sudden pressures became unbearable the blood pressure. Naskia dizzynes naskia headache like oxygen was not going to my brain, Napata mpaka convulsions at some point nikaanza kupata minor strokes where the left side is completely paralysed. But the doctors were able to bring things under control,” said Size 8.
“Last week I saw that the convulsions were happening more often and also the baby was not moving in my womb. And the doctor decided for me to go and get admitted in hospital. When I arrived at the hospital I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t walk so I was immediately rushed to the emergency room. In the middle of the night while at the hospital the foetus heart rate went up, and the doctor said that there was no way they could buy more time for me and I was prepared to go to theatre for a C-section.”
Two years after giving birth to her son, Size 8 got pregnant again but she once again suffered miscarriage in 2021.
Size 8 and her husband DJ Mo announced on social media in October 2021 that they had made a bold decision to undergo a medical procedure that resulted in them losing the baby.
In a video shared on social media, they revealed that Size 8 experienced fluctuating temperatures and blood pressure and was rushed to hospital for check-up.
“We have plans, but God has even better plans …as you have seen on YouTube, Yes it happened, God gives and takes. It’s been around five months fighting with crazy BPs that hit 213, an emergency operation. THE BABY DINT MAKE IT, but my wife is alive and safe, with you – till the end,” wrote DJ Mo.
DJ Mo added that the doctors made a decision to save his wife at the expense of their unborn baby and that she underwent a successful medical abortion losing the would-be third born.
“As you can see the operation was good, everything has gone well. All I can say is God has a reason for everything. My wife’s blood pressure hit abnormal levels of up to 200-230 mm Hg. We thank God because Linet (Size 8) is very safe. Our doctor advised us, saying that we now had to save the mother. We had no option but to allow them do the procedure,” he said.
