According to sources, Evelyn Ogutu succumbed to complications arising from delivery via a caesarian section.
The twins are luckily alive and currently under medics' attention at an unnamed hospital in the city.
As per her Facebook profile, before the new set of blessings, Ogutu was a mother to other three children; two sons and a daughter.
Friends and colleagues who ever interacted with the deceased hailed her for the zeal and passion with which she undertook her journalism career.

Others penned their heartfelt tributes to celebrate the life well lived.
"There are people who we meet and make our friends, then there are those who become our friends before our first meeting. Those that fill our lives with a desire to fight just once more...those who just text and say," I called to slow you down by saying Hello," said Dennis Itumbi, Kenya Kwanza's chief social media activist.
"We continued being good friends as we grew our respective families. It's sad that you lost your life-giving fourth lives. It is sad to say this but rest in peace, my good friend. Certainly, the angels in heaven are rejoicing even as we mourn for you," said Moses Njagih.
"Evelyn Ogutu we loved u but God loved you more. Still in shock. You were the best one could bargain to have as a friend.....RIP sweetie," said veteran journalist Jacob Mogoa.
An alumnus of the Kenya Institute of Mass Communication (KIMC) and Kenyatta University, Ogutu had a stint at the Mombasa Road-based Standard Group (SG) where she launched her journalism career.
She wrote for the media outlet, then based at its Nyeri Bureau, before relocating to Nairobi.
Instinct and Eve Woman publications owned by SG are among her creative efforts.
She later branched to public relations where she also had a colourful run; she once strategised for the East African Community (EAC) in the PR lines.
As earlier indicated, the deceased is survived by five children.
