Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo has written a message to mothers, urging them not to neglect themselves.
On her Instagram page, she shared a video of herself showing off her banging body as she told mothers to fvck their kids and invest in themselves because they deserve to look good.
She noted that when a woman gives birth, she loses herself while trying to nurture, sacrifice, and pour into her children and husband. She noted how their body changes, confidence fades, and their mind feels heavy and darker, nd depression starts in.
Ogbodo stressed that motherhood shouldn’t cost one their identity, mental health or worth. She admonished women to take care of themselves and pour into themselves.
“Fvck them kids!!
Moms invest in yourselves, too. You deserve to look good!
Sometimes, in the journey of motherhood, we lose ourselves.
We give birth.
We nurture.
We sacrifice.
We pour into our children and our husbands until there is nothing left for us.
Then slowly… the body shaming begins.
The exhaustion deepens.
The stress piles up quietly.
Your body changes.
Your confidence fades.
Your mind feels heavy… darker than you expected.
And before you even understand what’s happening, depression starts to whisper lies — that you’re no longer beautiful, no longer enough.
It begins to affect your relationship.
Communication shifts.
Intimacy weakens.
Distance grows.
And sometimes… he, the Man you’ve Sacrificed everything for, walks away.
But hear this clearly:
Motherhood should not cost you your identity.
It should not cost you your mental health.
And it should not cost you your worth.
You are still a woman.
You are still beautiful.
You are still deserving of care, healing, and softness.
Take care of yourself, too.
Pour into yourself, too.
Because when a woman is whole, she shines — not just for others, but for herself.
