Bambam Opens up on Traumatic Childbirth Experience
Big Brother Naija reality star and actress, Bambam has shared her personal experience with the often-unspoken challenges of childbirth.
In a recent episode of “Me and My Girls” on Fertitude, she opened up about the harsh realities of postpartum care and the importance of self-advocacy.
Bambam revealed that she faced severe complications during childbirth, including kidney failure, a weakened heart, and liver shutdown.
Fortunately, Bambam and her daughter received medical attention just in time, and she expressed gratitude for the narrow escape.
However, the traumatic experience left a lasting impact, and Bambam sought therapy to cope with the emotional aftermath.
She said …
“My kidney failed, my heart became weak, my liver, everything was just shutting down. She had detached from the placenta; if I was a second late, she would have lost oxygen, and I would have had a stillbirth. Every time I look at her, I just say ‘what if’. That word tormented me; what if the doctor wasn’t attentive? What if the nurse didn’t do her due diligence? It haunted me for a while, I had to get therapy to walk me through being grateful”.
