South African media personality Masechaba Khumalo has revealed that medical professionals had told her that she would be unable to conceive again before she got pregnant with her ‘miracle’ third child last year.
Masechaba announced the birth of her third child, baby boy Lukhanyo Lwezizwe, in May this year.
Posting on Instagram, Masechaba said she had been informed by doctors that she would not be able to conceive again five years ago.
“Five years ago, after an X-ray, my doctor told me that I would have to have my womb removed due to excessive fibroids (cancer runs in my family so I did not take this lightly). I was told I am infertile,” she wrote.
Masechaba said despite being informed of this, she envisioned her unborn child in dreams, which had gone a long way in convincing her to keep trying.
“I dreamt of my baby before he was born. I knew I was destined to be a third-time mom. My partner loves children. For him, my diagnosis didn’t matter (he’s always wanted to adopt). However, in spite of this bleak diagnosis we made a decision that we were going to try for a baby.
In May, the media personality announced the arrival of her son by sharing a picture of her holding the baby boy.
“Welcome to the world my son. Your dad and I are ecstatic that you are here. Though it’s been two weeks, it feels like two months as we’ve barely got any sleep.
“I honestly don’t know how I would have coped if it were not for your dad. Anyone can be a father, but you have a daddy,” she wrote.
