Jessica Nkosi was deep in her feels when her tribe threw her a baby shower.

Taking to Instagram recently, the actress shared a clip and snaps of her all white-themed shower.

“I am so loved and I don’t take that for granted. God knows. The day was so glorious and the whole set up made it feel like we were sitting in heaven. I cry each time I think about this day.

“Thank you to ubaba wezingane zami, my family, my amazing friends for putting this together. I was literally surprised and I feel I’m too clever to be surprised but they pulled it off,” she wrote.

In what is supposed to be an exciting period in her life, Jessica has opened up about the pregnancy shaming she has been receiving online.

She penned a series of posts on her Insta stories addressing some of the comments she got after sharing snaps from her maternity shoot.

“This is why I end up not posting or removing the comment section because there are just a few people that will irritate me. And I know I shouldn't be entertaining them but yoh, sometimes nje,” she wrote.

“Or people who say; 'Hawu are you still pregnant?' Yes, sure it's odd that I'm pregnant for nine months. Regular people give birth in a month. I'm sorry. Next time I'll make sure to give birth quickly just for you.

“People who say; 'You are pregnant again?' Excuse me. My last pregnancy was in 2018, it's 2023. Are you kidding me. Stop it, please. Acting as if I've been pregnant every year since, and, even if I was, so what?”

Two months ago the actress announced she was expecting baby number two with her hubby TK Dlamini.

“God has been so, so good. We are growing,” she captioned her post.
