Celebrity couple Flavia Tumusiime and Andrew Kabuura are expecting their second child.
A video shared by Andrew on Thursday showed a joyful Flavia showing off her baby bump. The two were having a meal, but she was quick to remind everyone it was actually three people eating.
“I am eating bread. We! Are eating bread,” the radio host said, while holding her tummy.
Their first child, a son, is now 2 years and 3 months.
She has shared how raising her son was challenging, especially because being on radio daily put them apart. But last year, Flavia quit her daily radio show – the AM-PM show – on Capital FM, which she had hosted for 16 years. Now she only hosts a weekly show (Desert Island Disks) on radio, which somewhat gives her breathing space.
“It was hard. As a breastfeeding mother, you get to work and cry because you miss your child,” she said in 2021 in a video on her YouTube channel, sharing about her parenting experience.
To make up for this, she started monthly mom-son dates to further grow the bond
The other hardship was raising a child during a pandemic when schools were closed including daycares.
Parenting has been many things for the 34-year-old actress, including appreciating the little things that she took for granted. Little things like crossing the road with the little son (while on one of their dates) and watching him beam with a smile.
But on the flip side, her journey to her next birth comes with a bit of anxiety. She has recently been sick, with limited movement while she recovers from a surgery she underwent.
She recently got laparoscopy -surgical procedure that allows a surgeon to access the inside of the abdomen (tummy) and pelvis without having to make large incisions in the skin.
Flavia has a condition called endometriosis.
“My symptoms are into stage 2. If you are experiencing very painful periods to a point when you can’t walk, you could have it. You need to get checked for Endometriosis. I found out I had it 2 years ago when I gave birth and I had and emergency c-section. I was induced coz I had a hard labor. It’s been an up and down journey,” she shared recently on her Instagram.
Endometriosis is a disorder in which tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside the uterus.
With endometriosis, the tissue can be found on the ovaries, fallopian tubes or the intestines.
The most common symptoms are pain and menstrual irregularities. Effective treatments, such as hormones and excision surgery, are available.
