Faves 🌚🫩

From being called names like “tirin-gbeku, flat screen, sim card, dry bone, dry fish, this one go get womb so,” in school to developing a body image issue. Tried gym in 2020 to get round in specific places (lol) to 2022 pregnancy that led to gestational hypertension and drastic weight gain and an emergency c-section. Just a week after my operation, I had to visit my baby in the nicu everyday for almost three months. No rest, less sleep, had to eat even when I didn’t want to, to produce milk (Nurses put fear in me that Adrian would not do well if I don’t give breast milk) My weight kept going up till I got to 110kg. I’ve never been this way, I did not know how to cope. I tried gym again, developed phantom pain in my c-section area. Lmfaoo. February, my man proposed, I was trolled. Some called out my body, (You don get belle for the second pikin, na now dem just propose give you and you dey post am.” Others said “you go say no before?” Everyday on X, I must get “See this fat bitch.” Depression set it. Took my baby to school one day, stood at the side of the road and started visualizing having a quick death by a truck or something. I cried home and told my partner. This man that did not care the slightest about how I looked, but wanted me to be okay… Long story sha, my two-month of 6 months journey to getting my life back. I just want to encourage every mom out there that has gone through drastic body changes after birth. You are not ugly and if you want, you can do something about it. Take your time and make sure your babies are okay. My child will be 3 next month and he’s amazing. Don’t let anyone shame you or your body that brought out that beautiful baby. I spent so much time feeling guilty about what people had to say about me than about what I thought about myself and what my partner thought. The actual “before you” below.
