TRACY HLOPHE.

WE TALK ALL THINGS PREGNANCY, BUSINESS AND NAVIGATING THROUGH PREGNANCY DURING A PREGNANCY.

IT IS NO DOUBT THAT THE WORLD PULLED THE RUG UNDER OUR FEET! THE PANDEMIC CAUSED ANXIETY FOR EVERYONE WORLD WIDE. AMID THE PANDEMIC, TRACY HLOPE SEEMS TO BE DOING THINGS CAUTIOUSLY AS SHE CARRIES WELL.

FROM A FAMILY OF 3 TO 4, HOW DID YOU FEEL?

TRACY LAUGHS, “I WAS VERY SHOCKED, I WAS VERY SHOCKED! ESPECIALLY AFTER AMILE”, SAID TRACY. PREGNANCY BEING DIFFICULT ON ITS OWN, IT’S A TAD MORE DIFFICULT FOR MOTHERS EXPECTING DURING THE PANDEMIC. “IT’S BEEN HARD, IT’S BEEN VERY HARD, ESPECIALLY HAVING A TWO YEAR OLD, THIS PREGNANCY IS HARDER THAN THE ONE I HAD WITH AMILE. (GASPS) GOING TO THE DOCTORS ALONE, IT’S NOT SOMETHING I THOUGHT WOULD BE HAPPENING, BUT IT’S MY REALITY”.

TRACY IS ALSO AN ENTREPRENEUR AND OWNS A RESTAURANT SHE RECENTLY OPENED, SHE FACES DOUBLE THE CHALLENGES DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME, HOW EVER THIS YUMMY MOMMY IS ABLE TO JUNGLE IT ALL. TRACY TIED THE KNOT WITH THE LOVE OF HER LIFE, FELIX HLOPHE TWO YEARS AGO. TRACY EXPLAINS HOW THE RADIO GURU EARNS BEST HUBBY MERITS AGAIN DURING THE SECOND TIME AROUND.

“IT’S HELPED TREMENDOUSLY THIS TIME AROUND BECAUSE I THINK THE FIRST TIME IT WAS UNEXPECTED, I DIDN’T EXPECT TO HAVE A BABY SO SOON AFTER. BUT THIS TIME AROUND HIS REALLY BEEN SUPPORTIVE, HIS THERE FOR ME 100% AND IT’S HELPED ME MENTALLY TO KNOW HIS IN MY CORNER”.

TRACY ENCOURAGES EXPECTANT MOMS LIKE HER TO STAY SAFE, STAY HOME AND BE CAUTIOUS ALL THE TIME.
