However, she clarified that her first ever experience of pregnancy was what produced Baby Maxim.

“Naa, never in my life have I done any terminated pregnancy or say lost a pregnancy before. My first time of getting pregnant was with Baby Maxim. So I knew absolutely nothing about pregnancy when I got pregnant.”

The host of United Showbiz on UTV shared the pain and struggles she experienced when she went in for an In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), a process of fertilisation where medicines and surgical procedures are combined to help fertilise an egg and help the fertilised egg implant in your uterus.

Mrs McBrown Mensah stated that at a point during the process, she became burdened and restless when she tested negative for a pregnancy test even after the IVF procedure.

“After all the pain I went through and the huge sum of money we spent on the In vitro fertilization, when I tested negative for pregnancy again, I lost hope. Naa, I could not sleep for a week."

Narrating her ordeal with the IVF treatment, she shared that apart from the money she and her husband, Maxwell Mawu Mensah, spent, she began to have doubts about the procedure.

"My mind was filled with lots of questions. What if the in vitro process doesn’t work on me? Even if it would in the future, do I have time at hand for the process? These and many more questions were running through my head.”
