Reality TV star and actress, Bamike Olawunmi, popularly known as Bambam, has recounted her traumatic childbirth experience.
Bambam and her husband, Teddy A, welcomed their first child, Zendaya, in 2020, barely a year after their wedding.
Speaking in a recent episode of the ‘Me & My Grils’ podcast, Bambam said her first childbirth experience was traumatic.
She recalled that her kidney failed and her liver and other vital organs shut down in the process.
The reality star noted that a lot of stillbirths are due to negligence.
She said, “A lot of stillbirths are due to negligence. It’s either the doctor was not sound or the nurse didn’t do her job on time or they arrived the hospital late.
“During my first labour, my kidney failed, my heart was weak, my liver…everything was just shutting down because of childbirth. She [my daughter] had detached from the placenta. If I was a second late [to the hospital] she would have lost oxygen and I would have had a stillbirth?
“Everytime I look at her, I just say, ‘What if…?’ The what ifs have tormented me. They tormented me so much. I will look at her and I will just… even just remembering I’m getting so nervous. The what ifs were so many and they haunted me for a while. I had to get therapy to walk me through being grateful.”
