Amara La Negra shared some good news to her Instagram earlier on Thursday. She made the announcement that she is pregnant with twins.
She wrote:
I am so excited to finally share that we have twins on the way! Thank you @clearblue for being a part of our journey and giving me the most amazing news! There is nothing better than seeing the word PREGNANT!
Even though I’m scared and nervous, especially after having a miscarriage, I am also excited and have a roller coaster of emotions but it truly is a Blessing.
Last month, she opened up about her miscarriage back in July telling fans, she has always wanted her own little family. She told People exclusively that she found out about the pregnancy while filming Love & Hip Hop Miami (VH1) in August, and she noticed something was off.
“I felt so nauseous that I thought the food was making me sick,” says the singer, 31, who didn’t panic but chose to follow a hunch. “My woman’s intuition told me: ‘Do a pregnancy test’. I did the test, and it came back positive.”
Beyond being thrilled with the news, the cohost of Nuestra Belleza Latina (Univision) felt scared.
“I was nervous. The first thing I thought about was in my work and my projects, having to tell my mom: ‘My life is going to change!'” recalls the singer, whose real name is Dana Danelys de los Santos.
“I’m not going to lie, it took me like two days to process everything that had just happened. I started to cheer myself up because at the beginning [I felt] a lot of fear.”
“I had only done a urine [home pregnancy] test. When the [nurse] does the sonogram, she says: ‘Wow, there are two gestational sacs.’ I was happy, surprised, but I couldn’t process what she was telling me.”
Her surprise was warranted as Amara suffered a miscarriage in July. “It was very weird. They suspect they were triplets. It’s hard to say it now because I had a lot of bleeding, and I was in a lot of pain,” she recalls.
“I wasn’t precisely looking [to become pregnant] at this time, but I always said: ‘If God sends it to me, Amen, it’s decided’.
Amara has also decided, like her mother Ana María Oleaga, to be a single mom.
“In my case, I woke up pregnant like the Virgin Mary.
I woke up pregnant and that’s all I remember,” she says. “I will be a single mother. I know my babies will depend on me,” she adds.
“Father is not the one who makes the child but the one who raises it. In time, if God grants me the blessing of finding the right man, one who supports me, who accepts me with my children, then Amen, he will be well received. But I feel blessed, and I am so happy that I sometimes forget that [I’ll be a single mom].
I am more focused on my babies.”
Amara says she has no regrets. “Not at all” she says. “You learn every time you stumble,” adds the artist, who decided to honor Oshun, the goddess of love and fertility, with her looks in this exclusive photo shoot.
“Even when I was in a good place with the father, I lost [a baby]. It wasn’t the time. Perhaps he wasn’t the right person either.
But may God’s will be done.”
