Chioma said:

“I have been body shamed before and that’s was when I was pregnant. It was a personal stuff between me and my elder sister.

I think it is important we talk about it because I hated it.

My sister told me that I had water body (someone who can get fat easily) so I should watch whatever I am eating. She said I would have a big bum and would blow (up) very soon.

Because of those things she said I promised to show her Shege, that I would give birth and not be fat.

After I gave birth, I wanted to be on my own, I was always crying and found it difficult to bond with my baby”.
