Lastly, Kenya talked to producers about her own difficult pregnancy with daughter, Brooklyn.
She said during a confessional interview: "Being a woman doesn't mean that you're guaranteed to have children.

Kenya - who was 47 at the time - developed preeclampsia during her pregnancy, which caused her to gain over 17 pounds in just one week.
This sudden surge in weight and high blood pressure had doctors come to the conclusion that she needed to give birth prematurely.
She even talked about how her C-section, which normally only takes 30 minutes to perform, took over three hours because doctors didn't want to cut into a fibroid and cause her to bleed out.
She even had to be placed under anesthesia after her epidural had run out.
Kenya and husband Marc Daly call Brooklyn their miracle baby.
