Nollywood actress Ini Dima Okojie has opened up about the physical and emotional challenges she experienced during pregnancy, revealing that each trimester came with its own difficult symptoms.
The actress, who recently welcomed her first child with her husband, Abasi Eneobong, shared a video on Instagram reflecting on her nine-month journey, saying she struggled to decide which stage of pregnancy was the easiest.
Speaking about her experience, Ini said, “I had all sorts of interesting symptoms throughout my pregnancy, but I’ll highlight a few.”
Ini Dima Okojie recounts trimester experiences
According to the actress, her first trimester was marked by constant nausea, although she rarely vomited, while her second trimester became even more challenging after severe fibroid pain began.
She explained that the pain was “absolutely excruciating” and was also the period when she started vomiting more frequently.
Later, she added, “Then came the third trimester; I started vomiting as I’d just found out I was pregnant. Multiple times a day. Every single day. And then the weight of the baby is going to do a number on your body at that point.”
Actress continues to inspire fans
Ini admitted she could not identify an easier stage of pregnancy, saying every trimester came with its own unique challenges before asking if other mothers had experienced something similar.
The actress announced her pregnancy in March before confirming the birth of her baby boy in June.
She has since shared moments from her labour, baby shower and motherhood journey, while also speaking openly about living with fibroids during pregnancy.
Her latest reflections have sparked conversations online, with many mothers relating to her experiences and applauding her honesty about the realities of pregnancy.
