  • Stop asking couples when theyll give birth – Diana Hamilton

    Multi-award-winning Gospel musician Diana Antwi Hamilton has advised that people avoid asking married couples when they will make babies as that could be emotionally draining.

    The musician who has had her own experiences in a very sensitive interview with NY DJ on BTM Afrika revealed such questions were draining to most couples and could break them down emotionally.

    Blessed with twins after 5 years of marriage, Diana revealed she cried at the end of every month but had so much hope and believed God would answer her prayers.

    “At the end of every month, I cried, so you can imagine for five years because I gave birth almost 6 years into marriage but I was very quick enough to wipe it off and tried every month. However, I am a woman of God and not a God of a woman so the human side of me will come in and so I will be sad” she said.

    “Don’t give people unnecessary pressure! It’s either they are trying and it’s not happening or they have no plans of having kids but not yet or they are battling with the emotional stress of experiencing a miscarriage. Don’t freshen up a wound that is closing up and so let’s stop it”, she warned.
