Just watching the documentary, there are a lot of similarities with symptoms and the bloating. I remember when I started off in this industry and you had to host shows. I remember I had to wear like two waist cinchers or three waist cinchers because I was so tiny but I had a belly and people would always ask if you\u2019re pregnant. I was tired of people asking \u201care you pregnant?\u201d and you know how there would be photos on red carpets and it\u2019ll be everywhere and everyone would be talking about the fact that \u201coh my god, is she pregnant, or what has she eaten?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It was very very daunting. I think I remember the very first time that I got diagnosed. I knew there was something wrong because at some point, when I laid down, there would be a part of my belly that would literally swell up, like a ball. I could feel it. And when I went to the hospital, the doctor checked, and said \u201cyeah, you have fibroids.\u201d In my family, it\u2019s quite a re-occuring issue. Most of the females in my family have fibroids.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI\u2019ve had cousins who\u2019ve had to take out their wombs. It\u2019s very daunting. It\u2019s one of the most stressful things. I think one of the worst parts of it is bleeding excessively. I mean, I didn\u2019t bleed for a hundred and something days, but I know about you just seeing your period when you\u2019re not expecting it. I know about you sitting somewhere and you get up and someone has to move close to you and say \u201coh your period\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I\u2019m happy Stephanie Coker did this documentary because women can come together and talk about it. It does a lot to your self esteem. You\u2019re just nervous all the time. The anxiety levels are high. Eventually, when I got surgery, I had 13 fibroids taken out of me. Tiny me, thirteen!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I\u2019m happy people are bringing awareness to it.
