The mother of two also explained that she almost lost her child because the baby had detached from the placenta and was losing her oxygen. The actress added that it almost led to a stillbirth.
Bambam speaks about stillbirth
In the recording, BBN’s Bambam explained that a lot of stillbirths were due to negligence from medical professionals.
She pointed out that it was either that the doctor was not sound or that they came late to attend to the patient.
Sharing more of her experience, Bambam remarked that every time she looked at her daughter, the experience used to hunt her for a while, and she had to go to therapy.

“After 14yrs I still havenโt got over my Mums death, I just realised this year that she had preeclampsia because she just convulsed in her sleep after 4 days of having CS, it was a high-risk pregnancy, I was too young then to understand, the fact we were broke and couldnโt take her to a good hospital was also a problem, I still cry every time I remember how she suffered during pregnancy. God, please help the pregnant woman out there.”
