Before announcing her daughter's arrival, Diana took to social media to acknowledge that her pregnancy journey was not smooth, saying it had been the toughest.

"My last preparations ahead of getting baby were nothing but precious, heartwarming and emotional at the same time. Honestly, this has been my toughest pregnancy journey but to see it come to an end through God's grace, is something I'll forever be thankful for," she wrote.

As she neared her due date, Diana disclosed that she had been having challenges with her pelvic bones, making it difficult for her to walk around or create content for her YouTube channel.

"It's been a month since me not creating content. Naona watu social media saying ati I am lying, nishazaa. We are still pregnant. Guys, I am in so much pain. Reason being as the baby grows, I get to have a few complications coz my pelvic muscles ziko close to each other. Walking has also been difficult because of pelvis friction. They have been saying ati I gave birth a long time ago, na bado tuko hapa," she said.
