A video of a young Nigerian woman breaking down in tears after experiencing severe symptoms during her first trimester has gone viral on social media.
In the emotional clip, the visibly pregnant lady could be heard crying out, saying “God please heal me,” as she described the unbearable discomfort of early pregnancy.
The woman’s honest display of pain quickly drew massive attention online, with many women relating to her experience.
The video has since sparked a wave of conversations about the physical and emotional challenges of pregnancy, especially for first-time mothers.
While the lady’s identity remains undisclosed, several netizens have praised her courage for sharing a reality that many women endure silently, calling it a “raw and relatable moment of motherhood.”
Women share their own pregnancy horror stories
Following the viral video, several women took to the comments section to share their personal experiences with the harsh realities of pregnancy.
One woman recalled being hospitalised and force-fed through a tube after losing so much weight that people didn’t believe she was pregnant.
She described crying daily from pain and exhaustion, saying she once went to a park barefoot, pleading with God for strength. “I couldn’t stop vomiting, I couldn’t eat, and nothing helped. I didn’t know pregnancy could make you this sick,” she wrote.
Many echoed her sentiment, emphasising that pregnancy can be both a beautiful and traumatic experience. Others praised mothers as “real heroes” for enduring such pain to bring life into the world.
Mixed reactions trail online trend of pregnancy confessions
The viral post has also sparked debate online, with some users questioning the sudden surge of similar pregnancy confession videos. “Is this the new trend?” one commenter asked. “I’ve seen over five posts in the last 12 hours from women crying about pregnancy.”
Some users advised women to prepare their bodies before conception by detoxing and eating more fruits and vegetables. Others criticised the oversharing culture, while a few speculated whether the woman got pregnant out of wedlock, suggesting emotional support from a partner might ease the burden.
Despite the mixed opinions, many agreed that the video sheds light on the often-ignored realities of early pregnancy, where joy and suffering coexist.
