Corazon Kwamboka on how she beat disease to have baby
Corazon Kwamboka is one of the most famous socialites on social media. The law graduate, however, is not known for her legal work. Her fame arises not only from the scintillating photos she posts on her social media pages showing places she has travelled, but also from the way she presents her body in a way that leaves little to imagination.
This week, she was one of the trending topics on social media after revealing that she is pregnant after several unsuccessful attempts.
She posted to her 636,000 Instagram followers how endometriosis, which she was diagnosed with last year, had dimmed her hopes of ever becoming pregnant.
The beauty gushed about how she can’t wait to hold her baby, showing off her baby bump.
In the post addressed to her unborn child, she wrote: “If someone told me January last year that I’d be feeling you kick deep in my belly at the sound of your father’s voice, I’d most definitely think they were deranged! Endometriosis had crippled my dreams of birthing a child. But here we are; a pleasant and welcome surprise. I can’t wait to meet you, hold you and teach you everything I know.”
Endometriosis is a disease where womb tissue grows elsewhere in a woman’s body, such as the fallopian tubes, ovaries, around the pelvis and sometimes the lungs, causing extreme pain and sometimes infertility.
Gynaecologist Wanjiku Ndung’u told the Nation recently that if the multiplying cells grow elsewhere apart from the uterus, they cause inflammation. It becomes painful for the woman during periods because menses have a restrained flow and thus they form cysts that cause friction and hence the pain.
The cause of endometriosis is not known, according to Dr Joachim Osur, a sexual medicine expert.
“There are many theories. This also means that the treatment is very difficult because efforts to suppress its symptoms with drugs also interfere with natural processes of the uterus,” he wrote in the Daily Nation recently.
Corazon is rumoured to be dating a popular fitness enthusiast, Mr Frankie Kiarie. Before allegedly hooking up with Corazon, Frankie and YouTuber Maureen Waititu enjoyed a five-year relationship that saw them bear two boys. The couple even came up with a thriving YouTube channel ‘Alphabeta’ that saw fans refer to them as the ‘YouTuber couple’.
Frankie, speaking on their break-up, said that they had irreconcilable differences that made them separate.
“The point of this is to let you know that people say some things to be funny or relevant on Twitter or Instagram, but someone’s day-to-day life is being affected. We are not in a good place yet. I have known Maureen for six years and loved her for every one of those years. That kind of love doesn’t fade. Sometimes things don’t happen the way you expect them to. Our main focus now is the kids and creating a healthy environment for them,” Frankie said.
The two are rumoured to have been keeping the pregnancy a secret for months now, but sources say the lawyer is in her second trimester. In her post, Corazon said she was glad that she chose a man whom she is sure will be a good father to her unborn child because she had seen him raise his other children.
“To the baby’s father; I couldn’t have chosen a better person to do this with. I see the good in you and how you raise your own and I know my child will be loved eternally,” she wrote.
Endometriosis affects more than 170 million women across the globe. The most common symptoms are pain and menstrual irregularities. Effective treatments, such as hormones and excision surgery, are available. Surgically removed cysts typically look like balls of flesh.
Corazon had earlier revealed that she intends to be a mother in 2020, having struggled with ovarian cysts, which was successfully removed sometime last year through surgery.
Corazon, who was admitted to the Bar in 2016, said that her status as a socialite has been a major hindrance to her law practice.
“It made me not practise law. I feel that at some point, I was being misjudged in a way so I pulled back from the law. I didn’t even want to go look for a job because I was scared ‘how will they even give me the job?’ and also it affected a lot of my relationships since I became Corazon Kwamboka the socialite,” she said in an earlier interview.
Four years ago, a man claiming to be Corazon’s father accused her of breaking their family while urging her to focus on her law career.
“My very bright girl should stop this socialite thing and practise law. She can be an amazing lawyer. I also realise she is over 18 and can’t make career choices for her. I pray for her every day,” said the man, Mr Osmond Sambu Okero.
