Popular DJ Pierra Makena has revealed why didn’t add any weight during her pregnancy.

Speaking in a Radio Jambo interview,  the popular DJ narrated that she was only 49kgs when she was pregnant and couldn’t add more weight due to depression.

“It was terrible, I could not even gain weight and at 4 months pregnant, I was 49 Kgs .I couldn’t gain weight, I was not eating. The good thing is that my family is very close and when they realized I was going through depression, my sister moved in with me. I had a support system. Polepole , I started getting over it and after giving birth, 3 months later I started gaining weight. I ate njahĩs, ugali…as I was breastfeeding. Depression iliniingia mbaya sana, but I got out stronger,” she confessed on Radio Jambo.

Not planned

The DJ said that she wasn’t ready for the baby when it happened but she’s glad it still did.

“Pregnancy attacked me. I wasn’t prepared. Initially I knew I wanted to have a child, it’s every woman’s dream but I was not prepared. (I was like)Si sahii, sikusema saa hii so nikashtuka. I got pregnant kama sijaolewa and I come from a very Christian family so nikajua hapa nimeisha. I went through depression, sijui nitafanya nini, tukaachana na baby daddy, ilikuwa drama mingi,” Pierra said.

In an explanation, the DJ defended herself saying:

“If anything, I am the one who posted the video on my Instagram page. I am not stupid to upload that video when I know I was duping people; I wouldn’t post it if that was the case. Anyway, I owe no one an explanation because none of those people who are trolling me online pay my rent or feed me and my family. Let them continue making noise online while I am depositing money to the bank and paying my bills. In short, what I am telling them is: let us all work hard,” said Makena to Edaily.

Stop it

She later gave another explanation insisting that the turntable was really connected and people should stop tarnishing her name.

Comedian Jalango also came to her rescue and wondered why she was still busy explaining to people about the clip.

“I don’t know why you always waste your time explaining yourself! Ok now that you’ve explained will your explanation pay your bills? Nkt!” wrote Jalang’o.

Stressed

“After I gave birth I was going through depression and my weight was not adding up. My doctor insisted that i eat more because i needed to gain weight. I woke up one morning and i was 64 kilograms, you have no idea how that felt. So when somebody posts on social media how i looked terrible with my weight it broke me down,” said makena in an emotional speech.

Adding: 

“So for someone to wake up and say that i look terrible with my new weight, at first i took my phone and hurled insults. I picked all the f-words, n-words and all words that you would never want to use in front of a baby. Them i deleted them. I realized i need to think before i click and ever react to anything.”
