Ex Beauty Queen Millen Magese Spills on Battle With Endometriosis & Birth of Her Miracle Son: “I had lost several other pregnancies, I didn’t think I could survive another loss”
Tanzanian supermodel, Millen Magese welcomed her first child, a son last year. After years of battling & overcoming endometriosis- a gynaecological condition which can cause severe pain and infertility, Millen’s doctors confirmed that her IVF procedure was successful and she was pregnant in October 2016.
Millen welcomed her super cute son Prince Kairo on July 13th, 2017.
The super mom and her Prince are the cover stars for the March/April issue of Genevieve magazine and in this issue, Millen opens up like never before on dealing with endometriosis, surviving IVF and the miracle of the birth of her son.
Oh my God! What a feeling! I can’t even begin to describe the feeling. IVF is really a very long journey requiring faith, patience and a lot of support! How do I capture the ups and downs, the injections, the wait and the expenses?
IVF is very costly and that’s very unfair to many women whose only option is IVF but can’t afford the treatment.
We waited for a long time for the egg retrieval and then the transfer. After that, my partner and I had to wait 10 more days to become pregnant.
On being pregnant of her son:
The pressure was high; I was afraid because before this time I had lost several other pregnancies. I didn’t think I could survive another loss. I prayed and prayed and avoided stressful situations and tried to stay positive.
When on Day 10 I took a pregnancy test and found I was pregnant I was over joyed. I couldn’t believe it. I cried! But unlike at other times, these were tears of joy! I felt like telling the world but I had to restrain myself.
I didn’t want to announce it because I had lost too many pregnancies already. I kept it a secret until a week after my son was born. I only released my maternity shoot after my son was born. I can’t describe the feeling that moment I held my son in my hands.
There’s only one word to describe it! NIGHTMARE! You hardly have a life. You can’t plan anything because of the pain that never goes away. You saw how broken I was during a video call with you in the course of this cover and interview.
I had had a long day of photo shoot and I needed to send you answers for the cover interview to meet the deadline.
The week had also been very challenging and stressful. I couldn’t deal with it all and I just broke down and cried.
A week after welcoming her baby last year, the model shared the good news on her Instagram page with a photo of herself cradling her baby. She captioned it with an emotional post, where she spoke about her battle with endometriosis and how God turned her hopeless situation into a miracle.
”It’s a week since I first hold you in my arms. I’m still trying to absorb the whole thing. This will probably be the longest caption I ever written but please bare with me?. Through my scars you brought me a Star ⭐ Jehova you lifted me higher today.
Father Lord, I’m acknowledging you for who you’re and for what you’ve done in my life .
You Must want to change your story for miracles to work. Miracles happens in such a mysterious way . I wanted my story to change so I prayed harder, I took risks, bold steps with no fear and sympathy. I kept my faith higher than just HOPE. I believed He would hear me out.
Father I thank you, through me you showed your Power. I’m grateful. Last year around this time I lost an embryo #ZoeKhloe . June 30th 2016. It was so painful to bare but father Lord you had a plan, you’re again showing all of us that, you’re a living God and nothing is permanent.
