Diana Marua’s sister recounts being pregnant with twins at 19

“Looking back if I were to speak to my younger self I would tell her to just chill. The guy is cute but take your time.”

Diana Marua’s last born sister, Michelle has opened up on her journey as a teen mom after getting pregnant with twins aged 19. Speaking on Diana’s YouTube channel, the makeup artist revealed that during her first year in university, she had no knowledge of contraceptives and always believed they were methods meant for grown women.

“My first year at Kenyatta University went smoothly and then in second year your girl met a very fine boy. Fast forward to a little time later on, we used to close school and I’d go to Diana’s place and spend like a day and then go to my boo’s house and ask Diana to cover for me in case my dad called. Before I knew it, I was pregnant. The thing about the current time we are living in is that there is so much information about contraceptives, family planning and all of that. When I was in that space I didn’t think of contraceptives because I was just 19. I thought those things (contraceptives) are for people who are 45 or something,” she said.
