Been meaning to tell you, but I guess it’s clear to see.Don’t be mad, it’s just the brand new kind of me
Can’t be bad, I found a brand new kind of free.”

Media personality Janet Mbugua had her gallbladder removed after the birth of her second-born Mali.
On her Vlog, the former Citizen TV anchor said she was readmitted in hospital the same day she was discharged after giving birth.
âAfter being discharged from hospital, I started having some strange pains and I had to call my doctor who, after explaining, told me I needed to be re-admitted,â Janet said.
âIt was very hard for me since I had a newborn but I had to. Mali was brought to me in hospital later and my firstborn had to be with my in-laws.
âI started feeling fever that would come and go but the following day it was a whole big issue. I was itching over my whole body and my eyes turned yellow. I had jaundice which went over to the next day. At the same time, pain came around the upper part of my abdomen.
âThe next day the pain was so bad that I couldnât breathe and so the doctor said I needed to go for a magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) scan to basically figure out what was going on in my abdomen.
âI spent like 30 minutes and the doctor said he could see gallstones in my system. I thought those are for old people? He said that was the main reason I had the jaundice and the pain because my system was struggling to comprehend all that.â
“The doctors also realized that my gall bladder had issues and gave me two options to fix that.
At that particular time, that pain was the most that I have ever felt in my entire life. Remember no pain killer. My gallbladder was sick and it needed to decompressed and then the next procedure was to be removed.
I agreed because I did not want to come back again to the hospital. The whole process that lasted for two hour. I could hear people talking and I knew it was well so I was calm.”
Janet managed to go through and was up again. The whole time her family was with her including her husband Eddie.
“The doctors came back to assure me that the whole process was successful and the sick organ was decompressed and the gall bladder was successfully removed.
I was however advised to rest a lot as well as have the pressure sock on for two weeks and move around the house a little bit.”
Its been three weeks since Janet Mbugua delivered her second born ,she has managed to keep a low profile bus she is back.
In a candid video Janet narrated how she went through a meltdown but luckily for her,she had her family’s support.
“I underwent a surgical procedure next to my newborn, and it was insane. I had multiple meltdowns and I thank my family members (both mine and my hubbyâs) for being supportive. They were there for me. Most incredible families.
I was hospitalized for two weeks and been on a recovery journey for one and a half weeks. It has been really tough, but Iâm back getting healthier.
I needed a minute to get into routine with my newborn baby, and its faring on well.
I thank God for my life because people go through worse during child birth. Glad to be back, healthier and happy.”
Janet Mbugua and her husband Eddie Ndichu are the ânewestâ parents in town. The power couple welcomed their second born child yesterday and they named him Mali Mwaura Ndichu.
Their older son has started bonding with his brother and he is so excited.
Earlier on, Janet had said that their son was a aware a new member of the family was on the way.
âHuru has totally changed especially at the beginning after we explained to him about it, I noticed that there is a difference and he constantly wanted to be with me. I tried and explained to him so that he does not get too shocked. Although I was told that the transition would be a bit tricky and that at the first few months there may be a little bit of jealousy so what I should do is include him in washing the baby and even changing her diapers.â

Gospel artiste Bahati is also expected to launch his own reality channel with his wife Diana Marua to give people a chance to know them better not only in the public limelight but also in private.
Here is a glimpse of what Raising Jay is all about in the video below
Janet Mbugua is in her final trimester before she delivers.
Well, throughout her pregnancy journey, she has been revealing a lot about herself and family at large. Recently she revealed that sheâs getting ready to deliver, opening up on what sheâs doing to complete her journey.
“I deal with my own anxiety and confusion and some times I struggle so much about mums guilt, which has really consumed me so much and I cry a lot . I am doing a parenting class which I know it is helping me especially when it comes to disciplining my child.”
In her Vlog, a friend asked Janet if she had planned for the second pregnancy.
“This pregnancy was planned but it was not as easy as one would have expected because we took like 9 months before I conceived. I realized that it is not automatic that a couple can plan for a baby and conceive the same time adding that she did CS for her first child because she had a breech birth.
Of late you will also have noticed that she is dressing up baggy clothes unlike the Janet we have been following who wears tight clothes
“My son looked at this outfit and told me, âMummy you havenât finished dressingâ. Verbatim đ I think the tights made the look seem incomplete to him but these are one of the few outfits that are comfortable enough at this point! Iâd wear a bedsheets if I could.”
Check out some comments from her fans;
rispermbenson..Lol..i would feel like putting on a lesso to work. Very limited options.
nya.kweya..wueeh,i can relate on the bedsheet bit..nowadays,i always ‘thank’ the person who invented deras
veevyenY..ou look amazing sonâs have a way of watching what mum wears mine tells me âmum your top is shortâ and pulls the back to cover my bumđ€ŠđŸâ
rahelombakađ€Ł….surely! But preggersStruggles are real in this town! Comfortable but swanky outfits are a rare find.
ndungu8713…woow,the man in him,that shows that you ave a responsible man in future
Maternity clothes. This phrase alone is enough to make most women shudder. From all the shapeless dresses and uninspiring outerwear out there, youâd think giving up on fashion was a precondition for becoming a mom.
But nowadays, weâre seeing plenty of cute pregnancy outfits and maternity style. Mmh…a growing bump doesnât mean you canât look amazing and put together.
Janet’s pregnant street-style outfits prove that a growing baby bump doesn’t need to get in the way of dressing like you.
As long as you’re feeling confident, you can rock anything.
