Nigerian musician, Mo’Cheddah, has opened up about the horrific pains she had during her pregnancy.
On Tuesday, December 14, 2021, Mo’Cheddah detailed how she has been in pain for 25 weeks in a lengthy Instagram post.
She said she vomited 10 to 15 times daily during the 25 weeks she had hyperemesis gravidarum.
She wrote;
“I had hyperemesis gravidarum for the first 25 weeks of pregnancy, and when I tell you, it is the hardest thing I have ever experienced in life, and I doubt any-other thing can be more challenging or more painful,” she wrote.
“I was bedridden for weeks and could barely open my eyes and talk. All I could do was breathe. I threw up 10-15 times a day. I won’t call it throwing up; it was an exorcism where I felt like a sick volcano needed to erupt way too often. I couldn’t eat or drink anything.”
All through, I have had the worst heartburn, indigestion, constipation, acid reflux coupled with the worst pelvic pain that started at 6weeks ( cue in my voice over artist voice )”
The rapper gave more details about her pains, narrating how something she wanted so badly had become really painful.
“Between the big, painful agbalumo looking boils, Wicklow, sore eyes, and teeth, it was hard to remain grateful. How did something I wanted so much become the most painful experience of my life?” she added.
“I cried a lot from the pain, and I cried because I felt terrible for feeling so awful because I just couldn’t see past the pain.”
I know it can’t be easy growing life, but why did I feel like I was dying and getting the life sucked out of me. Why didn’t I know what was wrong with me? Why do they call it morning sickness when you feel sick every damn second.

Why is my Dr telling me this is normal! It’s not normal! Why do I see new mums write how happy they are and how it is the most beautiful experience when I Don’t feel that way.
