Reality TV star and actress Bamike Olawunmi, popularly known as Bambam, has opened up about the traumatic experience she endured while giving birth to her first child.
EKO HOT BLOG reports that Bambam and her husband, Teddy A, welcomed their daughter, Zendaya, in 2020, nearly a year after their wedding. However, the journey to motherhood was anything but easy, as she recently revealed in an episode of the Me & My Girls podcast.
Recalling her first childbirth experience, Bambam described it as a life-threatening ordeal, revealing that her vital organs began shutting down during labor.
She stated, “A lot of stillbirths are due to negligence. Either the doctor was not sound, the nurse didn’t act on time, or the patient arrived at the hospital too late.”
Bambam went on to detail the severity of her condition at the time, saying, “During my first labor, my kidney failed, my heart was weak, my liver… everything was just shutting down because of childbirth.
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.”
The actress admitted that the trauma of that experience left a lasting emotional impact on her. “Every time I look at her, I just think, ‘What if…?’ The ‘what ifs’ haunted me for a long time. I had to go through therapy to help me focus on gratitude instead of fear,” she shared.
