During the first 25 weeks of my pregnancy, I felt like I was dying — Mo'Cheddah

 

Modupe Olateru-Olagbegi, also known as Mo'Cheddah, a Nigerian musician, spoke on her 25 weeks of pregnancy.

She shared a pregnant photo of herself on Instagram, revealing that she suffered severe vomiting for the first 25 weeks of her pregnancy.

The singer, who announced her pregnancy a month ago, said she felt like she was dying during the first few weeks of her pregnancy.

 

"I had hyperemesis gravidarum during the first 25 weeks of pregnancy, and let me tell you, it is the most difficult thing I have ever experienced in my life, and I doubt anything else could be more demanding or unpleasant," she said.

 

"I was bedridden for weeks, barely able to open my eyes or speak. I couldn't do anything except breathe.

 

"I vomited up 10-15 times a day." I wouldn't call it vomiting; rather, it seemed more like an exorcism, with me feeling like a sick volcano that needed to erupt far too regularly. "I couldn't eat or drink anything." Throughout the pregnancy, I've had the worst heartburn, indigestion, constipation, and acid reflux, as well as the greatest pelvic discomfort, which began at six weeks (cue in my voice over artist voice )

 

"It was impossible to be grateful in the midst of the enormous, dreadful 'agbalumo' emerging blisters, wicklow, aching eyes, and teeth."

"How could something I so passionately desired become the most agonizing experience of my life?"

"I sobbed a lot because I was in pain and because I felt horrible for feeling so bad since I couldn't see past it."

I understand that growing up is difficult, so why did I feel as if I were dying and going to hell?

"How come I didn't notice something was wrong with me?" When you're sick all the time, why is it termed morning sickness? Why is my doctor telling me this is completely normal? "This isn't normal!" "Why do I read new mothers writing about how happy they are and how beautiful their lives are when I don't feel the same way?" (sic)

 

Mo'Cheddah also mentioned other women who had been in similar situations, remarking that pregnant women have a "strong sense of fragrance."

 

"Growing a human is mind-boggling and amazing," she said, "but I know it's HARD." I'm getting tired of repeating myself. I have the impression that I am complaining. This is, nonetheless, my reality.
