“Nairobi Woman Shares Heartbreaking Tale of Losing 6 Babies, Battling Cruel Labels and Judgment”
Margaret Wamaitha, a strong and resilient woman hailing from Nairobi, recently mustered the courage to speak out about the devastating and agonizing experiences she endured while tragically losing six babies.
With tears streaming down her face, she recounted the trauma and the harsh judgment she faced during those emotionally turbulent times.
Wamaitha bravely revealed that she was subjected to heartless labels and accusations, with some people callously asserting that she was cursed or carried an ominous cloud of bad luck.
“People said I was cursed. Others advised me to gather elders and perform cleansing rituals with a sacrificial goat,” she revealed, her voice tinged with sorrow.
The distressed mother went on to share that she received misguided advice, encouraging her to consult a witch doctor in hopes of finding a resolution to her situation. Such suggestions only deepened her sense of hopelessness and despair.
Sadly, the opposition Wamaitha faced was not limited to society alone. Even within her church community, she encountered criticism and blame.
She recounted the painful experiences, saying, “Pastors would use my story against me, labeling me as stubborn and suggesting that God was punishing me by taking away my children. Some even had the audacity to imply that I was sacrificing my kids.” Her anguish was palpable in every word.
Despite enduring immense challenges, Wamaitha found solace in her surviving child, Precious, a resilient and vibrant girl who became her pillar of strength.
However, the loss of her seventh-born child marked a turning point for Wamaitha. She made the decision to close the chapter on attempting to have any more children, acknowledging that her situation was beyond her control.
