The celebrated Ghanaian actress also shared her harrowing experience of childbirth, revealing that she almost lost her life during labour.
She explained that she had two children with each of the three men she married, with the first two being twins.
Maame Dokono further stated that, because of the traumatic experience she had during her first two births, she vowed never to have children again.
However, she later rescinded her decision when she fell in love again during her second marriage.
“I have six children with three different men. You know, two, two, two. The first two were twins. In fact, I just don't want to tell you about what I went through. The labour, I almost died. I said I wasn't going to give birth again, but you know, there's nothing that you cannot do when you are in love. So, I got pregnant again," she shared.
