Arwa added that her disclosure to her family that she was expectant was not taken seriously with most of them believing it was a prank. Unlike many pregnant women, the influencer also disclosed that she had a smooth pregnancy and did not have unusual cravings or dire symptoms.

"Everyone was shocked I was pregnant and thought it was a prank, but they eventually had to accept I also didn't have serious symptoms and cravings except I drank a lot of orange juice,” she said.

Arwa promised to reveal her child's father as soon as she relocated since her husband did not reside in the country.

“My husband is not here and we are both different, we are supposed to reunite and I will be moving to where he is,” Arwa excitedly said.
