Ronke Raji announces pregnancy — seven months after first child

Ronke Raji, Nigerian lifestyle vlogger, has announced another pregnancy — nearly seven months after she had her first child.

Raji took to her Instagram on Wednesday to share photos of herself dressed in a white maternity gown with a protruded stomach.

This suggested that she must have gotten pregnant shortly after she had her first child with a man identified as Arthur.

The media personality said she had held back the information from her fans for some time but had to let the “cat out of the bag” because she became self-conscious.

“I’m pregnant with baby number two. I may have been holding back that information from you guys. I’m glad to finally get it off my chest because I hate having to be conscious of it showing for months,” Raji wrote.

“Most maternity dresses looked a certain way and I sewed this dress keeping in mind that I wanted something elegant to announce my pregnancy. So I took matters into my own hands.

“I’m now ready to take on 2020 with you guys on this new journey, being a mother of two and blogging!

“My hope for this year is that I change people’s perspective on beauty and motherhood through transparency and creation. Let’s do all this together.”

So about that dress.. what actually inspired me to do this was the fact that: 1. Yes, I am pregnant with baby number Two (Amaris going to be a big brother!), and I may have been holding back just that little information from you guys lol. I’m glad to FINALLY get this off my chest because I HATE that I’ve been having to be conscious of it showing for months. 2. Most maternity dresses looked a certain way and I sewed this dress keeping in mind that I wanted something elegant to announce my pregnancy. So I took matters into my own hands 3. I wanted to do some DIY projects on my website (which has now relaunched Ronkeraji.com) The amount of work that went into this website I can’t even begin to talk about but everything has come through full circle now. I’m now ready to take on 2020 with you guys on this new journey being a mother of two and blogging! My hopes for this year is that I change peoples perspective on beauty & motherhood through transparency and creation. Let’s do all this together 🌱🌱

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Wow page 1 out of 365. In 2019, on my stories I spoke a lot about sewing and how I was starting to learn to sew. That was something I made sure I learnt at the end of the year because being creatively inclined I felt like I could do so much. So here is a snippet of the dress I made myself and decided to do a shoot just to show you guys! I wanted something extremely goddess like and that’s exactly what I did. Here’s to a new year, new hobbies & new chapters 🌱
