Actress Mo Bimpe has recounted how she was shut out of social gatherings involving children during the period she was trying to conceive.
The Nollywood star, who recently attended Iyabo Ojo’s grandson’s first birthday, shared her experience in an Instagram post while encouraging women currently on a fertility journey.
Bimpe said she noticed she was no longer invited to baby showers, naming ceremonies and children’s birthdays.
After learning the reason, she was hurt that some acquaintances deliberately excluded her because she did not have a child.
She described the period as one of the hardest seasons of her life.
Beyond the emotional toll of waiting to conceive, she said dealing with exclusion from close people made it worse.
The actress noted that childlessness should not be a reason to deny anyone love, friendship or a place at celebrations, because people often hide deep struggles behind smiles.
She wrote, “A few months ago, I would never have imagined writing this. Last night, as I returned home from celebrating baby Rakeem, I got emotional. Not because of the party itself, but because it reminded me of a difficult season. There was a time when I wasn’t invited to baby showers, naming ceremonies, children’s birthdays, or anything related to kids. Sometimes, these were people I knew personally.
“People I laughed with, worked with, and genuinely cared about. I remember wondering what I had done wrong. Later, I found out that some people intentionally left me out because I didn’t have children. At the time, it hurt deeply. Not because I wanted pity, but because I loved children. I wanted to celebrate with people. I wanted to share in their joy. What many people don’t realise is that struggling to conceive is already hard enough. The waiting is hard. The questions are hard. The insults are hard. The silent prayers are hard.
“Please don’t make it harder by excluding people. A woman without a child is not less deserving of love, friendship, inclusion, or celebration. Invite her. Love her. Celebrate with her. You never truly know what someone is carrying behind their smile.”
Bimpe, who is now a mother of triplets, said she shared her story to give hope to other women waiting.
She stated that her own story changed unexpectedly and urged women not to lose faith, adding that delayed answers are not denied answers.
“And to every TTC woman reading this today, I want you to know that your story is not over. There was a time I had no child. Today, I am a mother of triplets. The same God who remembered me has not forgotten you.
“I know the waiting can feel long. I know there are days when your faith feels tired. I know there are moments when it seems like everyone else is moving forward. But please don’t give up. Hold on. Keep believing. Keep hoping. Your testimony is not impossible.
“If there is one thing my life has taught me, it is that God can change a story faster than anyone expects. What feels delayed is not denied. And when your time comes, it will be beautiful. To every woman waiting, I am sending you love, prayers, and a big hug today. Your miracle will happen too. Soon”, she added.
