Malika Haqqis going to be a mom!
TheKeeping Up with the Kardashiansstar, 36, is expecting her first child, she confirms to PEOPLE. Haqq, who is currently 14 weeks along in her pregnancy, is due in March.
“I have always wanted to be a mother and it’s still a little bit surprising but I’m overjoyed!” she tells PEOPLE. “I’m a very emotional person anyway, but this is another heightening of emotion … I feel really good about where I am in my life being pregnant now.”
Haqq, who prefers not to disclose the father’s identity at this time, first learned she was pregnant after partnering withClearblueand monitoring her body for several months withClearblue’s Advanced Digital Ovulation Testand realizing her period was three days late.
The Good American model then took one ofClearblue’s Digital Pregnancy Tests, which delivered the positive results that Haqq described as “shocking” and unlike any of her past experiences.
“I’ve taken Clearblue’s tests before … this was quite different,” she admits. “This was a morning where I was not expecting it to go a certain way … I saw ‘Pregnant’ and I was in shock.”

“Iwould love to have twins, just not my first pregnancy,” she admits. “It would’ve been cute, but it was also nice to find out that the first one out is just a single.”
As she prepares to welcome her little one into the world, Haqq says she has been counting on her mother and twin sisterKhadijah Haqq McCray(who is a mother of three) for tips and to keep her “pregnant brain” in check.
“I have tried every morning to pray and eat well and to smile and to laugh and to exercise,” Haqq adds. “I’m doing all of the things I can to prepare myself for goingthrough this process as best as I can.”

Being around other moms, including her best friendKhloé Kardashian, has also helped Haqq understand how she wants to parent her children.
“I just want to meet the little one right now! I don’t wanna wait till March,” she admits. “But at the same time, I’m practicing patience and I know this is the best thing and it gives me plenty of time to prepare.”
