In a candid revelation on her Mums Next Door podcast, Big Brother Naija Shine Ya Eyes housemate Maria Chike Benjamin shared her challenging postpartum experiences.
Maria disclosed that her protective behavior over her newborn led her family to believe she was mentally unwell.
I didn’t let anyone carry my baby, and at some point, I was irritating everyone. My family thought I was mentally not okay,” she admitted.
The reality star’s openness has sparked a range of reactions online, with some expressing concern while others empathize with her journey as a first-time mom. Comments from social media users reflect the spectrum of responses, from understanding and support to criticism and advice.
The birth of Maria’s son in October was a joyous occasion, marked by a heartfelt photo of her with her boyfriend and their newborn. Despite the joy, Maria faced significant challenges, including difficulties with breastfeeding and dealing with ‘Mummy’s brain.’ Her experiences resonate with many new mothers who struggle with the transition into motherhood.
Amidst these personal revelations, rumours of Maria’s marriage to her baby daddy surfaced in February 2024, fueled by a photo of her wearing a ring on her wedding finger.
