Big Brother Naija reality star Bamike Olawunmi-Adenibuyan, better known as Bambam, has revealed that she went through postpartum depression after the birth of her first child.
Bambam revealed this in a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo while recounting her ordeal of being pregnant for the first and second time and adding weight. In her words:
“Motherhood did a number on me. I would never have imagined that my body was gonna get this thick, I look in front of the mirror sometimes, thank God for supportive husbands like mine because imagine I had a man whose spec was a spec and wasn’t open to the transition phases that I went through with each pregnancy.
“My second pregnancy was even more merciful than the first, Zendaya, I transformed, like I went from maroon to black, I had skin tags I had acne breakout, like my body changed, I was in shock, I went through postpartum depression, I was a mess, I didn’t understand I couldn’t fit into my clothes, so I transformed literally.”
Bambam also revealed she had several complications during the pregnancy and at some point she thought her baby was not going to make it but the hospital was diligent.
The reality stars earlier revealed they were expecting their second child in February 2022.
The couple welcomed Zendeya their first child in March 2020.
