“The Determination in me is the same thing I see in My Children,” she wrote. “While I was doing this photo shoot I was having contractions the entire time.”

She said the people on set asked if she wanted to stop but she kept going because she wanted the pictures.

Keziah is Fantasia’s third child. She is also mom to Dallas Xavier, 9, and Zion Quari,19, from previous relationships.
