Nollywood actress Mo Bimpe is reflecting on her trying times as she sends message to TTC mothers.
In a lengthy post on her social media page, Bimpe said there were times she wasn’t invited to baby showers, naming ceremonies, children’s birthdays, or anything related to kids because she didn’t have a child.
See said many don’t realise that struggling to conceive is hard on women; the waiting is hard, as well as the questions, insults, and silent prayers.
In a message to the public, she told them to stop excluding such women, as a woman without a child isn’t less deserving of love, friendship, inclusion, or celebration.
Writing to TTC mothers, she told them not to give up and to keep believing and hoping, as their testimony would surely come. Using herself as an example, she noted how she went from having no child to three boys.
“A few months ago, I would never have imagined writing this.
Last night, as I returned home from celebrating baby Rakeem, I got emotional.
Not because of the party itself, but because it reminded me of a difficult season.
There was a time when I wasn’t invited to baby showers, naming ceremonies, children’s birthdays, or anything related to kids. Sometimes, these were people I knew personally. People I laughed with, worked with, and genuinely cared about.
I remember wondering what I had done wrong.
Later, I found out that some people intentionally left me out because I didn’t have children.
At the time, it hurt deeply.
Not because I wanted pity, but because I loved children. I wanted to celebrate with people. I wanted to share in their joy.
What many people don’t realise is that struggling to conceive is already hard enough. The waiting is hard. The questions are hard. The insults are hard. The silent prayers are hard.
Please don’t make it harder by excluding people.
A woman without a child is not less deserving of love, friendship, inclusion, or celebration.
Invite her.
Love her.
Celebrate with her.
You never truly know what someone is carrying behind their smile.
And to every TTC woman reading this today, I want you to know that your story is not over.
There was a time I had no child.
Today, I am a mother of triplets.
The same God who remembered me has not forgotten you.
I know the waiting can feel long.
I know there are days when your faith feels tired.
I know there are moments when it seems like everyone else is moving forward.
But please don’t give up.
Hold on.
Keep believing.
Keep hoping.
Your testimony is not impossible.
If there is one thing my life has taught me, it is that God can change a story faster than anyone expects.
What feels delayed is not denied.
And when your time comes, it will be beautiful.
To every woman waiting, I am sending you love, prayers, and a big hug today.
Your miracle will happen too. Soon”.
