Remember the time Keri Miller was ‘pregnant’ in 2017?
Updated | By East Coast Breakfast
It was the 'pregnancy' that everyone on the East Coast followed and will be a memory that Keri Miller will never forget.
If you can count on Darren Maule for one thing, it would be for his ability to put a challenge to his fellow hosts. One challenge that is still talked about as of today is when he challenged Keri to be 'pregnant' in an effort to find out if she is able to take care of a newborn or not.

Darren Maule's simple challenge turned into a series that everyone watched and waited to find out what was going to happen next. For what felt like nine months (but wasn't), Keri had to wear a pregnancy suit created by Edit Microsystems. The product, realCare Baby, was designed as an anti-youth pregnancy tool which simulates the feeling of pregnancy.
For three weeks, we followed every step of Keri Miller as she attempted to live her life with being 'pregnant' and as any expectant mother would tell you, it was not easy!
The first day was rough, as many just wanted to poke her belly - which didn't sit well with mama Miller.
Then the cravings began and of course the Godfather, Sky Tshabalala, was recruited to help satisfy Keri's craving for something very strange.

Then it was time for the gender to be revealed and boy-oh-boy did that keep the East Coast on the edge of their seat!
Many counted down the days till they got to meet Keri's baby boy. The time even came when our very own Darren Maule was the doctor on duty to help deliver Keri's baby on Mother's Day (how appropriate, right?)
And just like that, baby East Miller was born - and Keri was ecstatic!
But the joy soon turned into frustration as Keri quickly learned that it's not all fun and games being a mother and taking care of a newborn.
However, Keri did have good times with baby East. Like the time that he was an absolute hit at this year's Big Walk. Everyone couldn't get enough of the most talked about baby on the East Coast.
Many waited their turn to grab a picture with baby East, who clearly stole the show.

The hilarious part of this experience was when Darren and Sky, baby East's uncles, were challenged by Keri to take him home for the night. What they didn't know was that Keri had set up a hidden cameras and what was revealed surprised many.

At the end of a grueling three-week challenge, Keri had to say bye to Baby East and it was mixed emotions for the once pregnant mama Miller.
The main thing is that Keri learned a lot and is fully capable of taking care of a newborn. #KeriHasABaby was one challenge that will never be forgotten and will go down in the East Coast Radio history books.
