‘Fu*k dem kids,’ Uche Ogbodo speaks on motherhood

Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo has spoken on motherhood, urging mothers to not lose themselves while catering for the home.

The actress on her Instagram page, spoke about the toll motherhood takes on women. She stressed the importance of women and mothers being intentional about their appearance and health.

“Sometimes, in the journey of motherhood, we lose ourselves. We give birth. We nurture. We sacrifice. We pour into our children and our husbands until there is nothing left for us. It begins to affect your relationship. Communication shifts. Intimacy weakens. Distance grows. And sometimes… he, the man you’ve sacrificed everything for, walks away,” she stated.

Uche urged mothers to embrace self care and building their own identity asides being a mother. She stated that women should prioritise healing, care and softness because they deserve it.

“Motherhood should not cost you your identity. It should not cost you your mental health. And it should not cost you your worth. You are still a woman. You are still beautiful. You are still deserving of care, healing, and softness. Take care of yourself, too. Pour it into yourself, too, because when a woman is whole, she shines — not just for others, but for herself,” she added.
