Former Big Brother Naija housemate Bambam has recounted her motherhood journey.
The reality star got married to her fellow housemate, Teddy A, after the show.
Narrating her experience with media personality Chude Jideonwo, the mother of two shared how much her pregnancy changed her and how she moved from a size 8 to a size 16.
According to Bambam, during her first pregnancy she was diagnosed with preeclampsia and had to be operated upon to deliver the baby.
This made her depressed after pregnancy, alongside her overthinking about everything that could have gone wrong during the pregnancy.
She admits her luck at getting married to Teddy A as he was very supportive throughout her motherhood journey and was open to her transition adding more weight.
Expressing her joy for her beautiful baby, she seems to understand why she put her through a lot.
She said,
“I would never have imagined that my body would get this thick, no jokes. I look in front of the mirror and thank God for supportive husbands like mine. Imagine I had a man who wasn’t open to the transition phases I went through with each pregnancy.
“My second pregnancy was even more merciful than the first. What! Zendaya! I went from Maroon to black, I had skin tags, I had acne breakouts. Went from size 8 to 14/16. I was in shock. I went through postpartum depression. I was a mess. I did not understand. I transformed literally. But I mean look at the girl. Now you understand why she did what she had to do.
“I had to ask the doctor, ‘is that my baby?’ ‘How is she so white looking?’ She had grey eyes and now they’re brown. She looked so different. I had preeclampsia with her pregnancy, she had detached from my placenta by the time I arrived at the hospital. So the thought of losing her, if I hadn’t been diligent with my antenatal classes or taking my vitamins. We tried going to have her abroad but there were a lot of setbacks so we had to settle. And the hospital we got, thank God they were so diligent. Imagine they didn’t do my urinalysis test and the doctor didn’t call at the time that he did?”
