Nollywood actress Ini Dima Okojie is reflecting on her pregnancy.
The new mum, in a video she shared on Instagram, highlighted her different symptoms. According to her, she doesn’t know which trimester was better, since she experienced different things in each.
Ini said during her first trimester, she had constant nausea; in her second trimester, the fibroid pain kicked in, and in her third trimester, she started vomiting.
“Nine months growing you.
It’s interesting because, experiencing pregnancy myself, I’d always hear people debate which trimester was the most stressful, the first or the third. Most people seem to lean toward the first, I think.
Now that I’ve even gone through it, I really don’t know. I had all sorts of interesting symptoms throughout my pregnancy, but I’ll highlight a few.
In my first trimester, I had constant nausea, but I rarely threw up. I still don’t know which is worse: constantly feeling like you’re about to puke or actually puking.
In my second trimester, the fibroid pain kicked in, and it was absolutely excruciating. This was also when I started vomiting more frequently.
Then came the third trimester; I started vomiting as I’d just found out I was pregnant. Multiple times a day. Every single day. And then the weight of the baby is going to do a number on your body at that point.
So honestly, I really don’t know if I had to pick the easiest trimester; I genuinely couldn’t. Is anybody else in the same boat?”.
Taking fans through her magical pregnancy journey, Ini admitted that it wasn’t always easy, as carrying her baby while navigating multiple fibroids was a story for another day. She said some moments stretched her physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Recall that in March, the actress, who tied the knot five years ago, announced that she and her husband, Abasi Eneobong are expecting their first child. Sharing a video of her baby bump, she expressed excitement at finally becoming a mother and how in awe she is of her body changing.
On Wednesday, June 24th, while celebrating her birthday, Ini announced that she had welcomed a baby boy.
Following the birth of her son, Ini shared a video of her labour room experience on her Instagram page, as she hailed mothers. She testified that women are the true superheroes.
After her pregnancy announcement, the then soon-to-be mum shared a video of the emotional moment she found out she was pregnant. In the clip, Ini was seen holding the strip test otherwise known as a urine dipstick as she shed tears of joy. Her husband, who was recording the video, and at the background comforting her.
Dima, had released a video from her dreamy baby shower, which was held in February. In the clip, the movie star and her husband hosted their close friends and colleagues, including Nancy Isime, Waje, and many others, at their shower.
While promoting her clothing brand for pregnant womén and other women, Ini confessed that though pregnancy is beautiful, one of the things she struggled with was finding pieces that felt comfortable, elevated, and most importantly, still felt like her.
The birth of her baby is undoubtedly a testimony to many as the movie star had battled with Fibroid for years.
