‘I’m beginning to lose It’ — Nigerian mother of twins abroad opens up on postpartum struggles

A Nigerian mother of twins living abroad has opened up about the emotional and physical challenges she has faced since giving birth, revealing that she has barely slept and is beginning to feel overwhelmed.

In a video shared online, the mother appeared exhausted as one of her babies cried continuously while she struggled to calm the child.

She disclosed that she had not been able to get enough sleep since giving birth and said the situation was beginning to take a toll on her.

According to her, the demands of caring for newborn twins had left her feeling overwhelmed and at the point where she felt she was “beginning to lose it.”

The emotional moment has drawn attention to the often-overlooked difficulties new mothers face, particularly those caring for multiple newborns with limited support.

At the end of the video, she urged people to check on friends and loved ones who have recently given birth, stressing the importance of emotional and practical support during the postpartum period.

Her experience has also sparked conversations about the realities of motherhood, sleep deprivation and the need for new mothers to have people around them who can offer help and encouragement.
