At the beginning of October, Nicki Minaj gave birth to her first child, one she had with her husband Kenneth Petty. As of this moment, the name of Nicki’s child is still unknown, but fans are aware that it is a baby boy. Her child’s sex is just one of a few things that her adoring supporters knew about the newborn prior to Friday. However, that changed a bit when Nicki hopped on Twitter for a Q&A session with fans where she answered questions about motherhood, gave some updates on her first child, and detailed some of the love and support she’s received along the way from others.
He had no problem breastfeeding. He latched on in the hospital which was very surprising to me. I was afraid maybe he wouldn’t. But breast feeding is very painful. Pumping is too. Women make this stuff look way too easy. Moms r really superheroes https://t.co/SdF9CXMdF3

Yes. I was butt naked. Just got out the shower & I asked him to rub my back. As soon as I started scooting over to him in the bed I just felt the water start coming out. I was weirdly calm & I quietly said “omg, I’m about to be in labor” He was very scared & I was laughing @ him. https://t.co/2FGBnQOp3T

Nicki was asked about her experience breastfeeding her baby boy and she gave a detailed reply to the question while shouting out mothers all over the world who understand her feelings. “He had no problem breastfeeding. He latched on in the hospital which was very surprising to me. I was afraid maybe he wouldn’t. But breastfeeding is very painful. Pumping is too,” she said. “Women make this stuff look way too easy. Moms r really superheroes.” Another fan sought a brief explanation of the moment her water broke at home. “Yes. I was butt naked. Just got out the shower & I asked him to rub my back,” Nicki said. “As soon as I started scooting over to him in the bed I just felt the water start coming out. I was weirdly calm & I quietly said ‘omg, I’m about to be in labor’ He was very scared & I was laughing @ him.”

He used to kick me so hard every night at the same time if I didn’t get up & walk with him. He had a full personality in my tummy & knew how to get his way. It was so intriguing to me. He does the same thing now. 🥳 https://t.co/hOglUpLsFy

Yes, natural vaginal birth w/epidural. I pushed for 2 1/2 hours. Only b/c first the epidural didn’t wear off enough for me to feel myself pushing. Once I was able to feel the pain I pushed him on out. https://t.co/gzN45j6V6z

Well I was actually in labor all night but all they did was let me sleep until I dilated far enough to push. The epidural didn’t hurt either. They numbed me up real good. So I took my ass right to sleep 😴 https://t.co/E7xVNFSszc
