Big Brother Naija star, Bamike Adenibuyan popularly known as Bambam, has recalled her struggles with childbirth and postpartum depression.
The actress said she was diagnosed with preeclampsia during her first pregnancy and she described that phase as a ‘miracle’.
Bambam spoke during a recent interview with popular media personality, Chude Jideonwo, adding that pregnancy transformed her body.
The BBNaija 2018 contestant who appreciated her husband, Teddy A for being supportive during the transition phases, said she ignored online trolls who mocked her for gaining weight.
In her words; “I would never have imagined my body would get this thick but thank God for supportive husbands like mine. Imagine having a husband who was not open to the transition phases I went through with each pregnancy.
“My second pregnancy was even more merciful than the first. I went from Maroon to black, from size 8 to 14/16. I had skin tags and acne breakouts.
“I was in shock. I went through postpartum depression. I was a mess. I didn’t understand. I literally transformed.
“I had to ask the doctor, why is my baby so white looking?’ She had grey eyes and now they are brown. She looked so different. I had preeclampsia with her pregnancy, by the time I arrived at the hospital she had detached from my placenta.
“My pregnancy phase was a miracle. Postpartum depression was because I kept playing all the what if in my head.”
