My rainbow 🌈 baby was 1.5kgs, born at 28 weeks. His now 6 feet (182cm) tall, soon turning 18 Years. Every time I think of his journey, I see God in it.
The nurses in the NICU were so kind to me, I remember when I hardly had milk and they needed milk for baby and all I could get was about 10ml from pumping the whole day and when I got to the NICU to hand it over, the nurse I handed it over could see the shame on my face and she was like ooh Joy, this is a lot of milk. In fact it’s two feeds. Keep trying. I thank God for them for just being kind to me on those days when I couldn’t be kind to myself.
To us who have faithfully watched every video in this podcast since it started, because it is our therapy sessions 🎉🎉🎉🎉God bless you Mama Nathaniel 😍😍😍
As happy as I am to see a preview of an upcoming video. Nowadays Ive trained myself not to watch the previews or the intros, so that I have no idea what is coming up. I tell you I set time aside to watch the videos No multitasking when Being Kambua is playing. Zero interruption. I'm generally sensitive to people's feelings, lakini I have gone back to school with these videos. I'd go as far as saying that I'm becoming a better person just by watching them.
Yes kambua.I had an easy pregnancy and an easy birth.I didn't think of it much,but right now am crying thanking GodMy son is now 22,am so thankful, looking at him makes me cry, thinking of how easy God has made it for me.I love you all ,.Am so thankful to God
Hey kambua,this video brought so many memories. Last year my baby came 2kgs and the experience in NICU was not a pleasant one, you are not even sure if you will go home with the baby. But God is great, he's turning 10 months in a week and he's 10.8kgs like literally overweight. To premiee mums❤❤❤❤, those little babies will grow. Kambua we have ao much in common and one day when I'm ready,I'll definitely be on this channel to tell my story.
Children are one of life's greatest blessings. Thank you for allowing us to have a sneak peek into how you have received this blessing in your life Kambua. WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED IN THIS LIFE.
My RAINBOW BABY after 2 angel babies is turning 2 TODAY 🎉🎉And all this was happening when God had already told me that I would have a child and even given me the name to the the child. You cannot imagine the painful confusion I experienced when it was loss after loss. But for decades I haven't known God to lie At All! I haven't known of God who speaks a Miss! My faith took a real beating and I really felt like I had to be reintroduced to God afresh. I was so confused. Even on the third one I was in so much fear but there is a part of myself that still knew that God Cannot possibly Lie. And that's the only string of faith I hang onto.🎉Today,🎉I confidently call My God A PROMISE KEEPING GOD. PS: Easy Pregnancy, Easy Journey, Even exact gender as He had said it would be.
KAMBUA...call us preemie moms...allows us to come and share as a group of mother's...tutakuja aki....i feel like you're talking about my son, he's a genius, he's so sharp and after taking him to school this year,the sisters were asking whether he's really 3yrs koz his speech is so fluent ❤❤i just love him everyday ❤
Thanks to God ,and to you kambua,i remember laying helpless on that hospital bed ,after the doctor said oh Joyce we can't detect the baby's heartbeat anymore ,emergency cs and its now 2 yrs plus my son is alive and kicking, God works miracles
Thank you Kambua for blessing us with your story and giving us this platform. It's healing so many. God bless you. As a NICU mum, I resonate with that bit of feeling shame. My baby came at 34 weeks and was 1.2 kgs. I did not like answering the weight question. For the first few days, I felt like a failure. Like I only had one job to do and my body failed. Let's not get started on the daily commute after a CS. I have no idea how I managed for 45 days. It could have only been God. It's been a year now and my warrior princess does not look like anything she went through. Loud,thriving and lively as they come 😄. To any mum watching this and going through their NICU journey, be encouraged and know that Jesus has you covered and the little one is a fighter. Ultimately, God takes all the glory in the story 🙏 ❤️❤️
My twins were also born at 34 weeks. I remember it all too well . Those nurses there are the best . God bless them .My kids also reached their milestones early . God's grace is sufficient .
Thank you Kambua for sharing your story. As a nurse I have learnt a lot. Am with NICU Mom's around and all I pray is that they will experience Compassion and love from me and all other staffs ❤. Lord am grateful!! God bless you.
This podcast is something else,everytime everything resonates to what I've been through as a mother...my rainbow 🌈 baby was born at 26 weeks,my first born,born at 26 weeks, weighed 1047grams,stayed in the NICU for 59 days... he's now three yrs,a play group pupil 🙏🙏 ooohhhh my miracle baby is a genius, he's My Warrior baby ❤💪💪and i am a warrior Momma.Mine was the smallest in the NICU,but guess what,he fought and I fought with him... Thanks on talking about this kambua ❤️❤️much love 😍
Hi @beingKambua Kindly speak to the periods after a miscarriage. I had my period a month to the day of suffering a miscarriage . I wasn't prepared to the emotions of it being so red and a lot. It reminded me of the miscarriage. Come to the two month mark ,I'm expecting exactly as before and now I'm panicking at the delay , So a month and eleven days after my first period after the miscarriage , i wasn't prepared for the redness and the intense back pain. Then at night i feel a wetness and in five seconds I'm in the loo and the pad is full and a clot 2inches long and an inch wide. Everything is so different after the miscarriage even the period , there has been no cramping, small mercies. So Yes please speak to the physicalities before getting pregnant again. Thank you. This podcast has been a blessing to me in my season. God Bless you Kambua.
Kambua I am mum who went through the NICU and it is my dream to see something like the Ronald McDonald House established in Kenya for parents with children who have long term stays in hospital. It is truly needed
We thank God for this powerful testimony. I celebrate my wife our children were not premies but I still saw the fight she had to give to deliver our children. Normal is also not easy watching her cry in pain and be unable to do anything tore me apart so Kambua please also celebrate the other women coz that other side has it's own kind of hell. Women are strong beings. I celebrate you all everyday and I thank God for you.
I was a NICU mum for 3 weeks. Unfortunately baby died while she was being resuscitated. I was present as she flatlined. She died on the lovely morning of 14th Feb 2021. I thank God for the strength,Joy,Love and Peace unending that He has granted me thus far. Adia keeps resting and I continue living in thanksgiving ! God bless you Kambua ☺
That statement “ The baby has to come out today..” hit me hard😢that was me on 26th June 2023 I lost my beloved Justin at 32weeks. I’m still in pain. I can come share my story Kambua to encourage someone out there
This has Reminded Me of Kangaroo for 10hrs on a daily The journey of pre term baby has taught me patience Thank you kambua am encouraged.Your story has reminded me my journey
as i listened to your story, i realize how much i took for granted the safe pregnancies of my two children and i have asked God to forgive me and thank you soo much for sharing your story and may you be blessed and your family.
@Kambua, I remember when you first shared your mums prayer on instagram, I can never forget it, I feel like she was praying for me as well. Thank you God for mothers who can speak out the words when we cannot, and who know our hearts!
Something about how you speak,your composure and the ambience it's sooo beautiful,peaceful and as said... therapeutic ❤ Glad to be here and thank you for your vulnerability and trusting us enough to share with us your story. Much love Kambua❤
You have said it so well. Her grace, choice of words, empathy, laughter, eloquence, tone of voice I could go on and on. The videos are not just educational they ate soothing to the soul and spirit.
Kambua has basically said 90% of the things that run through my mind every time through my griefing and healing journey and now I know that I'm not crazy... It happens to all mum's going through it... Thank you for this I know I'm not alone and one day I'll give my story of victory when it comes
Champion in the premie baby community! Thank you Kambua for being very inclusive on this motherhood journey community. You have opened my eyes to my understanding and awareness of different motherhood journeys. Thank you for sharing
Thank you Kambua for sharing your story. I'm not a mum, but i have an amazing sister in-law who's the best in the world, I see her when you talked about healing from CS. I think my honor for her as a mum came during that time that she's truly such a strong mum and I'll share this video with her to feel appreciated and seen. Lots of love❤
Thank you Kambu for this!!! Taking your time to give Angel mums space to heal...this has been a healing space for myself. Am happy that people are learning too. Happy that you've shared about the nurses and sonograhers..... Everyone needs to extend grace to themselves and others.
Thanks Kambua for the unpaid therapy,I lost my baby just 12 hours after delivery last year in April.I didn't even get to hold her😢.Its not been easy.I pray for restoration.
Oh my Kambua. Thank you for sharing your story with such vulnerability. Thank you for sharing about your CS journey, and being a premie mum. I have gone through CS twice and for me, having a doctor who shares my faith, one who brought the theater to a standstill and pray with me and for me, and doing this both times.... that was IT for me. Delivery is a matter of life and death, and it gave me so much peace that my doctor Dribsa acknowledged that she was just a vessel being used by God.
I was a NICU mum for 2 days, my daughter was 980gramms, i had never seen such a tiny baby, unfortunately she died as i watched and there's nothing I would have done to save her. My greatest fear is having another child because i honestly can not handle going back to NICU. I told God, He can give me another child if He wants to. My only condition is if I carry it to term. If not, then i am at peace. 😢 I also craved githeri, but just boiled and a little salt. 😅😊 Thanks for sharing your story Kambua. ❤
Thanks kambua for sharing your testimonials I also underwent same emergency c section in 2016 my son had severe fetal distress and was due nuchal cord around the neck twice my son is almost 8 yrs and thank God for that.
Thank you Kambua, as a preemie mom I still can't find words to describe that experience in the NICU. As you said they are fighters and praying for all the preemie parents to take heart they will see how glorious the story will end
Hey Kambua,,, thank you for sharing your story, I have been consistent to listen through your episodes, I am not a mom yet just a young nutritionist growing in my career, this helps me alot to know how to serve and treat all the patients that God will bring my way. Thank you.
Such a captivating story so well narrated Kambua. Before a testimony, there is indeed a test. God was expanding your area of territory with regard to influence. I am happy that God saw you through it all and are now in a position to encourage other mothers. As for the cold nurses, please be mindful of others' feelings, always.
All my four kids we're preemie one i didn't bring home and that was hardest and family and friends call my children dolls.i have really cried today watching this episode.
Thank you Kambua. Wow i just heard my story through you . When going through the journey now my daughter is 3years and conquering her milestones. I am so greatful to God.
Surely what God cannot do does not exist. Thank you for sharing your story, thank you for owning your story. To all TTC ladies/mum's out there there's God and He is still on the throne and He will faithfully make it happen and beautiful at His appointed time.
Thank you for sharing your story.. it inspires and encourages and reminds me not to take for granted my journey.,I rem when I got my girl , there was a lady in the ward I was her baby was in the NICU and she just started to share her story with me I did not fully undertsnd and didn't know what to say but I just listened to her encouraged her that God will see her through, but I remember feeling bad that you know I had my baby with me and she didn't I just wished if the hospitals would consider separate space for mums in that journey and may the Lord grant them grace, strengti.God bless you kambua ❤
Thank you so much both my babies didn’t cry at birth for a while and i was in tears especially with the second baby. But you ladies that have been in this podcast. I cannot imagine what you have been through. Thank you for educating us
Such a beautiful testimony of a faithful God who is true to His word to give us all we need told in a delightfully relatable and witty way. Asante Kambua for sharing and may God bless you and your family beyond what you can think or imagine.
This awesome Kambua. This is like my story. I remember a friend came to visit me while my baby was at NICU and she told me she has come to see mtoto anatoshana na mkate ya 600gs since my baby was 680 😭. To all mums with babies at NICU I send love to you.
You are doing an excellent job. The video quality, sound, and production are always very well executed. Thank you for sharing inspirational stories and all the work you put in. I have been encouraged, inspired, and thoroughly blessed by the content. Keep up the good work 👏
Thank ful for my wonderful sisters who stepped in to take care of me and my preemie babies. Found everything set up from hospital and they visited on a daily basis ❤
Watching this while holding tears Every bit of this is so relatable 6 years later I haven't recovered from the trauma My 1.7 kg , 31 weeker now 6 years but memories never fade
Kambua invite someone who has gone through infant loss,babies who came home and didnt stay...am one of them lost my daughter at 2 and half months and I bless God for the work you are doing,your channel has helped me in my healing...
I got emotional at some point when you talked about the struggles in NICU. I can relate im a 32 weeks old mum now 1yr. Some hospitals like Kijabe offers rooms for mum to stay there till the baby gets discharged no matter how long it takes.
My preterm precious girl was born at 28 weeks at 1000grams which went down to 650g. We were in hospital for 45 days. People don't really know what NICU moms to through. It's really tough, so so tough. Thank fully we made it out of the nursery healthy and well. The little fighter was with us until a few weeks after her birthday, she fell ill and went away for good. Am so broken 💔 . Imagining how far we had come from, it totally breaks my heart.
