"I SUFFERED STIGMATIZATION, FAMILY PRESSURE IN MY 9YEARS OF BARENESS" - TY BELLO

For 9years celebrity photographer and singer TY Bello waited for the fruit of marriage, she battled pressure and tribulations from different concerned friends and worried members of the family and in October 2014 she welcomed a set of twin boys. It was a difficult period for 'The Land Is Green' star as she deviced different method to become pregnant, while she endured and struggled with Endometriosis.

In an interview TY granted recently, she revealed she went through IVF to conceive her boys, she said the journey to pregnancy was a very intense one for her, “My journey to pregnancy was a very intense one. I had just been through the toughest nine years of trying to get pregnant, being confident that it would be a breeze since I had always known that I would make a great mother. It was quite humbling when it didn’t happen as I had envisioned it. It was grueling actually."

“At first we didn’t know I was carrying twins. When I was going for my test, I didn’t feel pregnant. Before I went, I heard in my spirit, ‘Wear something nice’. I questioned the voice and wondered if it was nice to dress so nicely and get disappointed, setting myself for a heartbreak. In the end, I obeyed. I decided in my mind that whether I was pregnant or not, I was not going to stop believing. My doctor was very dramatic about the announcement too. She screamed so much we couldn’t even decipher her words. I had a delayed reaction as her words wouldn’t sink in. It was overwhelming, We were truly happy and couldn’t stop crying."

TY also explained she discovered that a long standing undiagnosed battle with Endometriosis was responsible for her delay in pregnancy, she said she went through IVF to have her babies. Just like some other women who have stayed over four years in marriage without a child, TY Bello’s friends and family pressurised her severely during the wait for her babies. “Waiting of any kind can be very troubling, the hopelessnesss, disappointment and stigma, but It is always worth it in the end,” TY insisted.
