Kenyan actress Kate Actress has been open about her journey to motherhood, sharing her experiences with trying to conceive her second child.
Thirteen years after giving birth to her firstborn, Kate revealed in a recent video on her YouTube channel that she had felt like giving up at some point due to the challenges she faced in getting pregnant again.
‘Sometimes I would immediately test for pregnancy after finishing our business but the results were negative. A baby never comes when you are looking for it,’ Kate said, reflecting on her struggles.
Her first child was born while Kate was still in college, and the experience of being a single mother at 19 had left a lasting impact on her.
Each time she thought of getting pregnant again, the memories of her past struggles would come flooding back, making her feel anxious and impatient.
However, Kate's son had been a source of motivation for her, and she had spoken about how he had inspired her to move from a small bedsitter to a better place.
Her son would often ask her why she didn't live with him, and Kate would cry and pray to God to use this as her motivation to work harder and improve her living situation.
