All through when I was shooting The Real Housewives, I was pregnant. And I and my husband decided that we were not going to tell anybody I was pregnant because to be honest, I told him I didn't want it. My baby was literally 5/6 months when I found out I was pregnant again. It's not something bad. People look at it like "oh she's a slut", I say I'm sorry, I'm always horny for my husband, hello? I'm breastfeeding, I don't show that all the time. You just come and see the good parts, you don't see the down sides. You just see the good parts when I'm looking fly flying private jets or flying 247 and you just think she has everything easy. Nah, nothing's easy. When I found out I was pregnant, I said "you know what? We're going to get rid of it". I'm sorry to say it, people don't like to hear that. I'm not evil. But I said I don't want this. So all through shooting and everything, my husband woke me up one day and told me the same way he told me "children are from God" during my last pregnancy when we weren't married and I found out I was pregnant. He said "you know what? Children are from God." My husband is very religious and he said "Don't [abort], leave it. Whatever the situation with your health, whatever you're going through, we'll run through it. We'll survive."

Then when I was diagnosed cause my family we [are susceptible to cancer] so you have to check it all the time. I found out my thyroid was really high and [I had] the same symptoms my mum was having and I had to attack it on time. I was always on medication and the doctor said you know what? It's time. You have to take out your womb. You can't have another baby.

Speaking further about the miscarriage, Toyin said:

I can't say I feel relieved but I felt a weight left because I was worried. I was very worried that my child was still very young. All my kids, my son is 8, my daughter is 17, the space is always a lot. Having a child is not cheap. It's not easy with the kind of life that I live. And the best is what I want to give my kids. And the fact is I don't have people paying my bills. We work overnight, day and night, to foot our bills and to live the lifestyle that I live. So, it's painful because every child deserves to come to this world but at the same time, I felt the time was not right.
