Having a child to some is normal, but to me- Jemimah Okutu a 52-year-old secretary- it was a miracle. I gave birth recently and the twins are now four months old.
But when I turned 47, getting a child had become difficult. At 48, menopause kicked in and I couldn’t get my periods. I didn’t give up. I started visiting doctors and one told me, with technology, I could get pregnant. I was 51. I told him I have reached menopause, and he said that was not an issue.
I did some tests and was told to return after two weeks when I found a packed lobby; people struggling to get babies like me. Young women, couples, even women older than me. This gave me hope. I was not alone in this journey.
