Fans have poured out with positive comments for the mom-to-be, whose due date was originally on Thanksgiving Day.

“Hang in there Kenya and Baby Daly!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 You got this girl!”

“You and the baby will be fine. My grandson came the same way last week. Sending love and hugs. Can’t wait to see pics of the bundle of joy. Just relax and let God work.”

“I pray that everything go well and that your baby is born healthy!! Praying for you Kenya! ❤️”

“🙏🏽Prayers up for @thekenyamoore I am praying you have healthy baby.”

Moore, 47, initially shared her complications with her high-risk pregnancy on Monday, when she disclosed her regularly swollen feet was a symptom of a larger issue — a complication characterized by high blood pressure.

“I made fun of my swollen feet at @cynthiabailey10 party,” she said on Instagram Oct. 29. “Next day my tests came back for possible preeclampsia… I gained 17 lbs in ONE week due to severe swelling and water retention, high blood pressure, and excess protein in urine. This is NOT normal!”

The former star of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” said she had been undergoing a stress test to determine if she’d have to deliver her baby early. At the time, she told followers she was “staying positive.”

She also encouraged her “pregnant sisters” to keep up with doctor’s visits and inform their physicians “of any drastic changes.”

“Thank God I have great doctors. #babydaly #highrisk #love #family #miraclebaby #kenyamoore #babybump #pregnantover40,” she added.

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
