Nigerian celebrity designer, Toyin Lawani, has opened up about her emotional and challenging pregnancy journey as she celebrates her daughter, Tinuke Eleora’s third birthday on Monday.
In a post on her Instagram page, Toyin shared her deep gratitude for her daughter, describing Tinuke as her “miracle baby.”
She recounted the difficult moments when doctors informed her that she might not be able to carry her baby to term due to a degenerative spine disease.
This news left Toyin devastated, leading to three days of continuous tears.
Despite the daunting prognosis and the severe impact on her health, Toyin claims that she refused to give up on her pregnancy.
She chose to endure the pain, determined to bring her child into the world. Today, she looks back with relief and joy, proud of the strength it took to pull through those dark times.
“Happy birthday to my miracle baby @kingtinukeleora, aka Bossbaby,” Toyin wrote.
“I’m so grateful you chose me to be your mom. I remember the day my doctors told me I couldn’t carry you to term due to the degenerative spine disease. I cried for three days nonstop because I was far gone already. But I didn’t give up, and nothing they told me could sway me to part ways with you, even though it affected my health so badly.”
Toyin expressed her deep love and admiration for Tinuke, who she describes as a mature and fashion-savvy child beyond her years.
“You always eat fashion up like a piece of cake. People see you and think you are five because of how mature you act. Welcome to the third floor, my mummy.”
In honour of Tinuke’s birthday, the family took a trip to Bristol to celebrate, with Toyin promising to share the fun moments with her followers.
She also announced a giveaway to mark the special day, encouraging fans to participate.
