New mom Bontle Modiselle got candid about her pregnancy and revealed that she suffered two miscarriages. The star took to social media to share her post-baby body 10 days after welcoming her daughter, Afrika.
In the lengthy post, Bontle shared that she had a difficult pregnancy. She said in part, “I know my pregnancy journey looked easy. My approach was deliberate. Intentional! I made certain to dance my way through it. To have someone inspired to see and feel pregnancy differently was a goal. However, my difficulties never made it to the socials.”
She shared that the experience of miscarriages took a toll on her during while she was pregnant. She said in part, “Some day, I’ll fill you in on the insecurities, the psychological, emotional, physical and spiritual hurdles I went through following the two miscarriages I had before the successful birth of my baby Afrika. I’ll speak openly about the fears that challenged me and had me asking myself if I would ever be woman enough to create and carry life through.”
She ended off by sharing that she’s learning to embrace her new body. “So….Bring on the swelling, discoloration, the stretch marks, soft spots & cellulite. I’m not immune. Let me have a field day with the sleepless nights, the countless nappy changes and random cries trying to figure out what she needs. Let me fall in love with the newer imperfections my body has inherited. These are the vain concerns I’d trade in any day for my baby, who I now get to stare at, hold, kiss and love unconditionally.”
