Reality TV star and actress Bambam has shared her traumatic childbirth experience, shedding light on postpartum care and medical negligence.
Speaking on Me and My Girls on Fertitude, she revealed that she faced severe complications, including kidney failure, heart weakness, and liver issues. Her daughter also detached from the placenta, a condition that could have resulted in a stillbirth if medical help had been delayed.
Despite the life-threatening ordeal, Bambam expressed gratitude for the timely medical intervention that saved them both. Her story highlights the urgent need for improved maternal healthcare and postpartum support to prevent similar crises.
“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.
