"As women, we navigate through so much, often leading us to question, 'What is my purpose?' For me, the magic lies in motherhood and the awe-inspiring ability to bring life into this world over the span of two decades," she captioned her pics.

"It’s my superpower. And if anything can surpass the wonder of being a woman, it’s the privilege of bringing another woman into existence.

"We are overjoyed to share our love for you, little girl. I’m am excited to speak words to the daughter I never thought I’d have. We are anxious about your arrival, but take your time — this world can be tough. But know you are being brought into a space of love, security, and adornment."

Her baby girl will be her first with the Houston Rockets player.

Draya is also a mother to two sons.

She welcomed her youngest son, Jru Scandrick, in 2016, with her ex-fiancee and former NFL player Orlando Scandrick.

For years, many rumors circulated surrounding the paternity of her oldest son, Kniko Howard.

There were also rumors that Draya had received around $40,000 in child support, which she denied.

According to The Jasmine Brand, Draya said in a now-deleted tweet, "At 17 years old I got pregnant by a man who became incarcerated for 10 when I was 7 months pregnant."

"With help from my mom, I was able to survive. Now, judging by how under-developed and young I was, besides living in a very small city in PA….. There’s no way in 2002 I got pregnant by some athlete," she continued.

"If I had, there’s not a chance in f***ing hell I would have wasted 7 years of my life working 'in the club' because clearly child support would be on fleek.

"I have never received A DIME of child support in my life and that’s ok."

"I have also NEVER attempted to say anyone other than who my son is named after (yes he’s a junior) was the father," Draya added.

She also revealed that Kniko's father was living in Pennsylvania and earning an honest living as a barber.

'IT'S REALLY FUN'

Draya has been open about the ups and downs of being a young and single mother.

After welcoming her second son, she opened up to Black Enterprise about her life with the new baby.

"Oh my gosh, everything is so great with him. He is an amazing baby; he is a great baby," she said at the time.

"He’s a big baby– he was born a little bit early, and he wasn’t small at all from it, so he’s big for his age.

"I love being a new mom all over again; it’s really fun. I have a lot of help from my big son."
