Nollywood actress Mo Bimpe has disclosed that some people deliberately excluded her from baby showers, naming ceremonies and children’s birthday parties because she was not yet a mother.
Bimpe shared the experience in a social media post while reflecting on her journey to motherhood and offering words of encouragement to women currently trying to conceive.
The actress said she eventually realised that some of those who left her out were people she personally knew and had cared about.
“There was a time when I wasn’t invited to baby showers, naming ceremonies, children’s birthdays, or anything related to kids,” she said.
Bimpe said the experience was painful because she loved children and wanted to celebrate with people rather than receive pity.
She also urged people not to make the experience harder for women who are waiting to have children.
“Please don’t make it harder by excluding people. A woman without a child is not less deserving of love, friendship, inclusion, or celebration,” she said.
The actress encouraged women trying to conceive not to give up, using her own journey as an example.
“There was a time I had no child. Today, I am a mother of triplets,” Bimpe said.
She urged women still waiting for children to remain hopeful, saying her experience had shown her that a person’s circumstances can change.
“The same God who remembered me has not forgotten you,” she added.
