Diana Marua became a mother for the first time on February 14th 2018 and for the second time on August 14th 2019, the mother of two delivered her two children through Cesarean section.

Vaginal delivery was not an option for Diana even though she wanted it, Bahati’s wife suffers from pubic symphysis which makes Cesarean delivery the only option for her.

Symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD) is a group of symptoms that cause discomfort in the pelvic region. It usually occurs during pregnancy, when your pelvic joints become stiff or move unevenly. [sic]

In a video she shared on Instagram, Diana explained that she suffers from SPD that’s why she could not deliver her two children normally.

The mother of two said that when she was pregnant her pelvic bones were close to each other and she felt a lot of pain even when she was walking.

“I did not prefer to go for C-section. What happened with my first born baby Heaven, I got a complication where my pelvic bones zilikuwa zinashikana and it got to a point where walking a small distance was very hard for me. I couldn’t even move from the bed to the bathroom. That condition is called Symphysis pubis. So with that, doctor had to advise me not to go the natural way. Natural birth was not an option for me and on my second baby, the same happened and that’s why I opted for C-section,” said Diana Marua.
