He kicked me so hard every night at the same time when I didn’t get up and walk him. He had a full personality in my gut and knew how to get his way. I thought it was so intriguing. He’s doing the same thing now, ‘she said in one tweet.
In another, she revealed that she was ‘naked’ at home with Kenneth when her water broke. “I just got into the shower and I asked him to rub my back.”
She added: ‘As soon as I started running up to him in the bed I just felt the water come out. I was weirdly calm and I said softly ‘omg, I’m about to give birth’. He was very scared and I laughed @ him. ‘
Nicki underwent ‘natural vaginal delivery with epidural. I pushed for 2 1/2 hours. Only because at first the epidural wasn’t worn down enough to feel myself pushing. Once I could feel the pain, I pushed it out. ‘

She added: ‘I just want to be a mama. Take them to school, attend the parent-teacher conference, help them with their homework, and put their work on the fridge. ‘
