Reality star and actress Bambam has spoken out about her painful childbirth experience, shedding light on the often-overlooked issues of postpartum care and medical negligence.
Bambam said on a recent episode of Me and My Girls on Fertitude that her life was in danger during childbirth due to her kidney failing, heart weakening, and liver shutting down.
She stated that her daughter had also disengaged from the placenta, and a delayed arrival at the hospital would have resulted in a stillbirth.
Bambam, however, expressed her gratitude for the medical intervention that saved her and her daughter’s lives.
According to her, the ordeal left her with emotional scars, adding that she had to undergo therapy to cope with the lingering “what ifs.”
“My kidney failed, my heart became weak, my liver, everything was just shutting down. She had detached from the placenta; if I was a second late, she would have lost oxygen, and I would have had a stillbirth. Every time I look at her, I just say ‘what if’. That word tormented me; what if the doctor wasn’t attentive? What if the nurse didn’t do her due diligence? It haunted me for a while, I had to get therapy to walk me through being grateful”, she said.
