Kenyan actress Catherine Kamau, popularly known as Kate Actress, has shared her emotional journey to pregnancy and how she's coping with the challenges that come with it.
On her YouTube channel, Kate Actress invited her husband, Phillip Karanja, to her second episode, where she opened up about her struggles to conceive another baby.
She revealed that at some point, she felt like giving up on trying to conceive another baby with her husband, citing the emotional trauma she experienced as a single mother at the age of 19.
“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 Actress said.
Her past experiences as a single mother motivated her to work hard and improve her living conditions, but the thought of getting another baby was daunting for her.
“I remember I really wanted one before the wedding. I was in a rush to get one. Being the planner that Phill is, we delayed. I am the most impatient person in the world, and I started getting so disappointed,” she said.
However, with the support of her husband, Kate Actress has now settled and is happy to be expecting another baby.
She has previously spoken about how her son motivated her to move from a small bedsitter to a better place, and now she's looking forward to a new chapter in her life.
Her husband, Phillip Karanja, has been a source of comfort and support throughout her journey, and Kate Actress is grateful to have him by her side.
She has shared her story on her YouTube channel, and fans have been reacting to her openness and honesty.
