Tell us more about having pre-eclampsia
Well, it’s a condition some women have towards the end of their pregnancy. For me, it was a period where I had high blood pressure, my feet got terribly swollen and I could hardly walk. Plus, my baby was overdue by about 7-8 days! At the end, they decided to induce me to labour because they were worried about my condition. It was a painful ordeal but I thank God everything went well.
But you were very energetic during one of your performances in Uganda very late into your pregnancy. How did you manage that?
I went ahead with that performance because my doctor had given me the go ahead. And I had also contacted a local doctor out there.
However, even though I did do a few other performances like that; I wasn’t planning to be that energetic at that event. But I got so much love from the crowd in Uganda and it was very emotional for me, considering the stage of the pregnancy at the time.
Before, I got there; I had doubts about how I would be received and if I was going to be made to sit on a stool during the performance. But when I got there, everyone was warm, loving and understanding of my situation.
In all, that performance was unexpected. I got that energy from somewhere, but trust me, the next day I was in bed all day.
