Corazon Kwamboka, a social media influencer and law graduate, has made headlines after announcing her pregnancy on Instagram. The news comes as a surprise to her fans, given her previous struggles with endometriosis.
According to Corazon, she was diagnosed with endometriosis last year, which had dimmed her hopes of ever becoming pregnant. However, she has now revealed that she is expecting a child with her partner, Frankie Kiarie.
Corazon shared a heartfelt post on Instagram, expressing her gratitude towards Frankie and 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, causing extreme pain and sometimes infertility. According to gynaecologist Wanjiku Ndung'u, the multiplying cells can cause inflammation and pain during periods. Dr. Joachim Osur, a sexual medicine expert, added that the cause of endometriosis is not known, making treatment very difficult.
Corazon's pregnancy comes as a surprise to her fans, given her previous struggles with ovarian cysts. She 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, has been open about her struggles with balancing her law practice and social media fame. She had earlier revealed that her status as a socialite has been a major hindrance to her law practice, making her feel misjudged and affecting her relationships.
