Kenyan doctor gets pregnant after six months
Medina, who is a doctor by profession vividly narrated the heart-rending moment she lost not one but two unborn children.
Speaking to NTV, the health practitioner disclosed it was her first pregnancy.
"Immediately after the wedding, we tried. It took six months before I got pregnant. I used to take medicine from the hospital where I was working and was being scanned from the same hospital. My husband was also a doctor, so he also followed up on me," she said.

Medina recounted seeing traces of blood when she went for a short call, which prompted her to go for a scan, accompanied by her loving and supportive husband.
That was when Medina found out she was pregnant with twins. She continued to carry her pregnancy until the 12th week.
"This time, the blood was too much. We went back to the hospital for another scan. The doctor did not seem sure about our situation and did not seem to want to tell us what was happening. There was so much tension. I was not satisfied with the information given," she said as she looked for another medical opinion.
