“The series of miscarriages we had were usually in the first trimester. My wife would cry for days. The first pregnancy was conceived immediately after our wedding. We did not even know she was pregnant until we lost it, so we thought another one would come."

A singer and broadcaster with Correct FM, Gabriel Akhuetie, was over the moon with joy when he recently welcomed a baby boy with his wife. The child came after his wife had suffered four miscarriages in two years. According to him, the miscarriages also affected his career.
In an interview with Sunday Scoop, he said, “It (the miscarriages) affected me so badly that the last time I made music was about three years ago. As a matter of fact, I have offended a lot of people who wanted to feature me on one project or the other. Somehow, I would find a reason not to come through for them. I cut off a lot of people and things, so that I could focus on my family.”
Akhutie also noted that no gynecologist could tell them the cause of the miscarriages. He said, “All the scans and tests we did kept indicating that nothing was wrong with us. None of the gynecologists we saw could tell us the cause of the miscarriages.”
Speaking on how the experiences affected his wife, the entertainer said, “The series of miscarriages we had were usually in the first trimester. My wife would cry for days. The first pregnancy was conceived immediately after our wedding. We did not even know she was pregnant until we lost it, so we thought another one would come. Then, we became more observant and immediately she got pregnant for the second time, we started seeing a doctor. But, a few months later, it happened again.”
During this difficult time, he also reported that he had the most arguments with his wife. "We had our toughest disagreement after the third miscarriage," he said. We were basically not speaking to each other because it was that horrible. When I returned home from work one day, she told me she needed money. But she didn't say what she was going to do with it. Normally, I would have just given it to her, but I was curious about her intentions. We talked for a while before she said she wanted to buy candles for some prayers that a preacher she met on Facebook recommended. I was incensed. That was the time realised how deep she was affected by all of it.
