She also revealed that she struggled with post partum depression....
She says
''When I had my first son, I told people I gave birth naturally… because I was genuinely embarrassed that I had a C-section (emergency, C-section).
I really thought I wasn’t woman enough Imagine.
I had just carried and delivered a whole baby safely.
Now I say it with my full chest all three kids… C-section gang lol!''

''Can I ever stop talking about it? Never.
I had postpartum depression for more than a year… 16 years ago.
For the longest time, I genuinely thought I was losing my mind.
I didn’t know what postpartum depression was. I thought I was mentally sick. Possessed even.
Then one day, I randomly picked up a hospital pamphlet at a hospital reception…
The symptoms listed sounded exactly like me.
That moment changed everything''.

Na only rich women get post partum depression. How come women in the villages don’t have it?
ReplyDeleteIf you dey poor you go dey hear gist of people wey kpai themselves . Also, I work in healthcare, I can tell you for free that many women are depressed after birthing. Only difference is that they cry in silence at night and they do not have any support whatsoever. I mean, do you expect someone to be discussing feeling low when they just pounded yam with surgical scar.??. Please poverty is not the flex you think it is ,trust me
DeleteAll those wicked women in offices what do you think is the underlying factor?
DeleteBecause 'rich' women with post partum depression head to the hospitals while the others are taken to prayer houses and traditionalists.
Delete15:41 please, don't make ignorant comments! 😒 🙍🏾♀️
DeletePostpartum depression has nothing to do with «wicked women in offices."
Some women wentthrough pregnancy once and vowed NEVER AGAIN!
For ages, some women in the villages and all over the world suffer postpartum depression. Some of them never recover from it while others do.
Brooke Shields (an actress) granted an interview on her battle with postpartum depression. Google about hers and also read up on postpartum depression.
Women go through a lot from pregnancy to childbirth and, postnatal period.b
She was embarrassed? Wow! No one can ever make me feel that way.
ReplyDeleteIt is well with you, it ended in praise.
I wonder what is embarrassing there, I have a friend that also did that too, she gave birth through CS but told people that it was virginally and I asked why she lied she just shrugged.
DeleteShe was younger then
Delete@blogbrity.... not an excuse. From experience, one of the major causes is the unnecessary expectations women place on themselves for a process whose outcome you have no say in.
DeleteSomeone I know almost tipped into pueperal psychosis because she gave birth to a girl. Same girl the husband was happy and rejoicing about.
Nigerians seem to have no life problem that they look for problem that they can use to shame themselves. Lmao. Plus the what will people say bullshit they like to put on themselves.
ReplyDeleteYou carry a child 9 months, survive child birth with your baby without dying. Come add shame say you no do wetin you auppose do for labor room. So make you come de hide and lie to strangers who will not give your child a grain of rice to eat if you died. Lots of Nigerian women are really crazy.
When i gave birth if you know how many alarms were going off for code red in the labor unit. That is emergency!!! In a big teaching hospital in America. I was just grateful i eventually gave birth without any alarm with C-section.
Too grateful to see my child and start life with him. C-section was the easiest part. I was induced for 3 days and labored before that C-section. I was just grateful to be alive and that i will be able to raise my child in good health and safety.
Thank God for her
ReplyDeleteWhether vaginal birth or C&S, women are Superhumans ♥️
ReplyDeleteYes oooo 👍
DeleteThe Most Important Thing Be Say Mama And Baby Are Healthy ❤️
Lol. Beautiful Adaeze.
ReplyDeleteThank God for that
ReplyDeleteLies! Lie! Lies!
ReplyDeleteSome of us have sharp memory, we don't forget even if it is 50 yrs old story.
When she newly married , I remember reading it here or elsewhere that her mum has told her that she should have all her kids via CS so that her kpekus will remain intact, in case the marriage between her and Joseph does not work, She will remarry with a tight kpekus. I think they said her mum also told her not to breastfeed so that her bwess will be intact.
Note, her mum is a beautiful and popular society woman that dated popular men too.
Wow!!
DeleteThanks anon. Let those with good memories speak up when these stories come out.
Deleteplease anybody pregnant and they tell you c/section.Do it.
ReplyDeleteMy sis visited me in US to have her baby.Baby was in distress .Doctor said c/s she refused hold her bible and was trying to reach her pastor in nigeria.the dr called me because to tell me what was happening.i warned to sign that consent immediately .She did .The baby as in distress due to cord entangled on his neck.So vaginal delivery would have killed the baby.And that is the only son she has.
The key factor should be safe delivery. Either through Cs or vaginas. The mum and baby/babies should be well taken care of. The issues of post partem depression cannot be overemphasised. I was always crying.
