Kenya Moore Officially Being Induced After Sharing Scary Pregnancy Complications

Kenya Moore has been induced to give birth this weekend after telling fans she’ll have to deliver early due to a pregnancy complication.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum shared the update with fans Saturday night and asked for prayers.

“If you want to make God laugh have a plan… won’t be long now. Pray for us 🙏🏾 #babydaly #weloveyou #prayers,” Moore, in a hospital gown lying in bed, wrote in the caption of her Instagram post on Nov. 3.

As requested, the soon-to-be mom’s fans immediately poured out with messages of support.

“Praying for you.♡”

“May God bless you, your husband and your baby.”

“@thekenyamoore, you and #babydaly will be just fine, I had preeclampsia with my first born. She’s 31 now. Best Wishes & God Bless!”

“May the Almighty God grant u safe delivery and be God in your life may he also put a smile on your face in front of your enemies!”

“God’s got you. Prayers going up on your behalf🙏🙌. U got this.”

“I know that you don’t know me but I am so proud of you. Congratulations on your upcoming bundle of joy. I also wishing you a safe and healthy delivery. Be bless.”

Moore said she’d likely be giving birth to the baby she’s welcoming with husband Marc Daly well ahead of her Thanksgiving Day due date because she suffers from preeclampsia, a condition characterized by high blood pressure.

“I made fun of my swollen feet at @cynthiabailey10 party. 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!” Moore said in the caption of an Instagram video on Oct. 27 where she said she feels “like crap.”

Further tests later confirmed the issue.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
