Kenyan makeup artist and TikToker Mummie Francie has surprised fans with the announcement of her pregnancy, a moment that has brought a mix of emotions. For years, whispers and accusations of being barren surrounded her, but she has now found herself on a different journey one she didn’t anticipate so soon.
Francie revealed her pregnancy on her YouTube channel, dismissing the rumors that she was ever unable to conceive. She shared that the discovery was unexpected, triggered by persistent cramps that led her and her husband to seek medical attention. Initially suspecting fibroids, she was stunned when the doctor confirmed she was pregnant.
While the news brought joy, it also left her feeling conflicted. “I was not ready to be a mother,” she admitted. With responsibilities as a businesswoman, a CEO, and a caretaker for her siblings, she had envisioned motherhood later in life, ideally in her 30s, when she felt more financially and emotionally stable. But as she reflected, she realized that while she had been waiting for the perfect moment, God had already blessed her with a loving husband and a stable home—two of the key things she had once prayed for before having children.
Her pregnancy journey has not been easy. She was placed on bed rest, forcing her to pause many of her projects. Adjusting to the changes has been overwhelming, yet she is grateful for her husband’s unwavering support. “He has never pressured me about kids,” she said, emphasizing that even within marriage, priorities can differ.
Francie also opened up about her struggle with fibroids, a condition that has made her reproductive health journey challenging and costly. Over the years, she sought medical help to regulate her hormones and manage the condition without undergoing surgery. Her experience serves as a reminder of the many hidden battles women face with fertility and reproductive health.
She also addressed societal pressures, calling out those who shame women for not having children. “People were blaming me for not having babies without knowing my reasons,” she said. Her childhood traumas have shaped her desire for stability before bringing a child into the world.
As she navigates this new chapter, Francie remains candid about her mixed emotions. “Am I 100% happy? No, because I still have trauma to deal with,” she confessed. Like many who experience unplanned pregnancies, she acknowledges the emotional and spiritual toll it takes. However, she is embracing this new journey, trusting in the timing that was not hersbut God’s.
