Bob Marley Was The 'midwife' For Our First Child – Rita Marley by otumfour(m): 8:03pm On Oct 19, 2012


Rita Marley, wife of Reggae legend, Bob Marley has revealed that her husband played a midwifery role during the birth of their first child, Ziggy Marley.

Speaking on the Taxi Driver show on Hitz FM, on the occasion of Ziggy Marley’s 44th birthday which occurred Wednesday, Rita Marley said her son was born at home in Trenchtown, Jamaica instead of a hospital because they could not afford to have the baby at a medical facility.

She told Blakk Rasta, host of the show that, “Bob was there for the delivery because Ziggy was a home delivery. We couldn’t afford to go to the hospital so we had the baby at home [we were in] one bedroom in Trenchtown.”

“Bob did help with the delivery and he was there to bury the afterbirth and take care of things,” she added.

Rita Marley revealed that, she chose the name David for their first child but Bob Marley, who loved football aside music, chose "Ziggy" as he wanted him to be a footballer.

Born David Nesta "Ziggy" Marley on 17 October 1968, Ziggy is currently a musician and the leader of the Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers band.

She disclosed that she is currently constructing a brand new ultra modern music studio, to welcome Ziggy Marley to Ghana, after her multimillion dollar Studio 1, located in Aburi, got burnt in 2010.
