Adaze disclosed that she had initially felt ashamed of her delivery method, but not anymore, as he shared her story openly.
In a heartfelt post, she admitted:
"When I had my first son, I told people I gave birth naturally... because I was genuinely embarrassed that I had a C-section (emergency, C-section). I really thought I wasn't woman enough. Imagine. I had just carried and delivered a whole baby safely. Now I say it with my full chest all three kids... C-section gang lol!"
Adaeze went further to open up about her battle with postpartum depression, which lasted for more than a year after her first child. She revealed that at the time, she had no knowledge of the condition and feared she was mentally ill.
"PPD. Can I ever stop talking about it? Never. I had postpartum depression for more than a year... 16 years ago. For the longest time, I genuinely thought I was losing my mind. I didn't know what postpartum depression was. I thought I was mentally sick. Possessed even. Then one day, I randomly picked up a hospital pamphlet at a hospital reception... The symptoms listed sounded exactly like me. That moment changed everything."
Her openness sheds light on the silent battles many women face after childbirth, particularly the stigma surrounding C-section deliveries and the lack of awareness about postpartum depression.
