Media personality Jacque Maribe revealed she lost two pregnancies before welcoming her son.
In an interview with True Love, Jacque narrated how she battled with a fertility condition called septate.
"I had almost gotten a baby before but I suffered a miscarriage. It was tough at the time because it was so new to me. Then we tried again, suffered a second miscarriage and didn’t know what was going on,’ Ms Maribe said.
A septate uterus is a deformity of the uterus, which happens during fetal development before birth. A membrane called the septum divides the inner portion of the uterus, at its middle.
She also shared details of events leading to an exclusive interview with President Uhuru Kenyatta in 2014.

Maribe disclosed that the president had contacted her for the interview when she was just about to go on maternity leave.
"I haven't seen you in a while so I hear good things are coming. Come and do an interview before you go," the president told her.
However, the news wasn't received positively by her bosses at Citizen TV, they expressed doubts that she was fit to conduct the interview.
"When I went to tell my boss that I had been offered the first-ever interview by the president, it was hard. Like why you? And I remember being told that someone else would conduct the interview," Maribe said.
"I got angry and I was like why, 'is it because I'm a woman, or is it because I’m heavy and so you (the bosses) think I’m not up to the task, why?' It actually brought a bit of tension," she continued.
However, when she told Uhuru Kenyatta she will not be interviewing him, the president decided not to go ahead with the interview.
