AFTER losing her four-month-old baby in June 2013, Kaya FM presenter Nonn Botha is pregnant with her third child.

Her late baby boy, Keoagile, choked to death, allegedly after being fed milk by Nonn's helper.

Botha revealed to Sowetan that she was five-and-a-half months pregnant and is due in April.

The presenter of Late Night with Nonn said when the doctor told her the news, she was not excited.

She said she felt she was not emotionally and psychological ready. She said the news brought back sad memories.

"I said to God, it is not that I am ungrateful for the gift but I am not ready to have another child. It took me a while to warm up to the idea," she said.

Botha said her Rastafarian partner, who she won't identify, was looking forward to the baby.

She said this time she would not go for a scan to see the gender of the child because she wants it to be a surprise.

"I am now excited and looking forward to April. My colleagues and bosses have showed support because they know what I went through," she said.

The mother-to-be joked that her unborn baby loves music like her because it kicks a lot when she does her show.

She plans to release her two books in February.

The first book, titled Re-investing in My Will to Live Again, captures the pain she went through, and her second, Radio Reflections, is about her radio career.
