Actress Bridget Achieng has shared her emotional journey of struggling to conceive a child for five years.

Speaking to Mpasho, Bridget revealed that she had tried to get pregnant with her first three boyfriends, but it didn't work out.

She said that she had even considered relocating to Nigeria to be with her baby's father, but her siblings and she are now orphans and she cannot leave them.

She also revealed that her ex-boyfriend had dumped her because she couldn't give him a child.

However, Bridget's luck changed when she met her current partner, and she became pregnant with her son Sekani.

She revealed that she had taken three pregnancy tests before confirming her pregnancy at a hospital.

She also shared that her baby's father had initially asked her to abort the pregnancy, but she refused.

Today, Bridget's baby daddy and his family are loving towards Sekani, and she has organized a festival, Nai Fest, to celebrate her son's life.

The event will be held at Ngong Race Course Water Front on Saturday, 30th November, and will feature local artistes such as Joe Boy, Fena Gitu, Ochungulo Family, Ethic, Boondocks, and Sailors.
