Actress Yewande Adekoya has opened up about a miscarriage she experienced in 2013, saying the incident strengthened her faith in God.
In a video posted on Instagram, Adekoya recounted how she was rushed to the hospital with severe bleeding during her first pregnancy, losing the baby, and being told an evacuation procedure was needed.
“A few years ago, I remember it was 2013. I was pregnant at the time. After some months, I started to bleed, so I was rushed to the hospital. I knew I was miscarrying, like I was about losing the baby.
“They told me the baby had died and we needed to do an evacuation. I had been told that evacuation was very painful. I was so sad that I’d lose my baby. I was in serious pain. I cried all through the night,” Adekoya said.
She explained that the fear of the procedure compounded her emotional distress, especially as it was her first pregnancy.
“I was also afraid of the evacuation process that was going to be done for me in the morning. If this whole miscarriage process is this painful, how would evacuation be?” she asked.
Adekoya described the experience as “devastating” and “terrifying,” but shared a vivid dream where a man in white, resembling a doctor, performed the procedure.
“As soon as I sat up in bed, I felt a heavy push in my bowel. I felt like something was coming through,” she narrated.
According to her, she woke up, and the miscarriage completed itself without medical intervention.
“As soon as I got into the bathroom and stood at the centre of the bathroom, the baby that died fell to the ground. Blood, formation, whatever. It fell to the ground.
“When the doctors came, they did a scan, and they said there would be no need for an evacuation because the baby was no longer there. It had come out itself, and I was fine to go home,” Adekoya stated.
Reflecting on the experience, Adekoya said it shaped her conviction about God’s presence in her life, stating, “I cannot come out and say there is no God because I have experienced a lot of things that I know are not ordinary.”
