On October 2, 2019, radio presenter Tanasha Donna welcomed her first child, a son, with Tanzanian musician Diamond Platinumz. In a recent Instagram Q&A session, Tanasha revealed the details of her childbirth experience.
Contrary to rumors, Tanasha explained that she labored for 17 hours before giving birth naturally, without any epidural to alleviate the pain. Despite the excruciating pain, she expressed her willingness to go through the experience again for her child.
"17 hours of labor, it was long, stressful, and the pain was excruciating, but when I look at him, I would do it all over again. It was a natural birth, no epidural, as much as I begged for one at some point when I couldn't take it," Tanasha said.
When asked about her seemingly flat tummy just a week after giving birth, Tanasha attributed it to individual body types and the importance of diet, hydration, and genetics.
The couple has yet to reveal the name of their child.
