‘I battled postpartum depression’ – BBNaija’s Bambam

Bamike Adenibuyan, commonly known as Bambam, a former Big Brother Naija participant, has spoken up about her experiences with childbirth and postpartum depression.

Bambam revealed to popular media personality Chude Jideonwo that she was diagnosed with preeclampsia during her first pregnancy in a recent interview.

Pregnancy, according to the mother of two, changed her figure.

While thanking her husband, Teddy A, for his support during her pregnancy’s transition periods, Bambam claimed she ignored internet trolls who insulted her for gaining weight since “they don’t understand.”

“I would never have imagined my body would get this thick but thank God for supportive husbands like mine. Imagine having a husband who was not open to the transition phases I went through with each pregnancy.

“My second pregnancy was even more merciful than the first. I went from Maroon to black, from size 8 to 14/16. I had skin tags and acne breakouts.

“I was in shock. I went through postpartum depression. I was a mess. I didn’t understand. I literally transformed.

“I had to ask the doctor, why is my baby so white looking?’ She had grey eyes and now they are brown. She looked so different. I had preeclampsia with her pregnancy, by the time I arrived at the hospital she had detached from my placenta.

“My pregnancy phase was a miracle. Postpartum depression was because I kept playing all the what if in my head.”

Kanyidaily recalls that Bambam has spoken on domestic violence allegation in a viral video that circulated online.
